Puppies 25th September

There is four in the other side too :)

First Snow & Training

So we started the proper training today. Unlike last year when we left from the kennel with the quad, this year we load the dogs in the van and drive to a close-by forest road then have the dogs pull the van. We took 24 dogs in the van and had 12 dogs run 9km then swapped them over and ran back 9km. That was our test run. Tomorrow we take 40 and run 20 dog teams. Still have to see if it is better(or at least the same) as using the quad last year. Definately warmer and dryer for the musher! I will of course take out my core racing dogs with the quad when they need some extra training.

AND to top off our first day training, we had our first snowfall of the year! Melted after 10 minutes but hey, it's the 1st September......
