Time flies. Since the
last update, there’s been several things happening in our kennels. Like Koff
giving birth to Nordysak F-litter. The 7 weeks old, two boys and two girls run
around happily in puppy pen. Looks like the boys will travel to Sweden while
girls stay at home to be our future stars.

We attended to the
Siberian Husky Speciality show last weekend (September 15th -16th). A few dogs
from our pack participated on the show, of them Esko getting the highest award.
He was the best junior male. He was after all the furriest of our pack on that
day. All other dogs still haven’t grown their winter coat on, and are very light
coated.
Altogether we had a
nice weekend, although a bit tired one. We were travelling on our motorcaravan,
with the dogs sleeping in brand new boxes built on a trailer. We’re glad our
youngsters behaved really well in stakeout. And it was nice seeing other people’s
Siberians on the show ring. I’m sure we’ll meet again in winter in races.
We started autumn
training a few weeks ago. I have a team of 11 dogs (Beck, Benny, Putte, Pimu,
Uule, Muru, Keke, Hottis, Kajsa, Mimmi and Bambi) and Suvi’s started with 6
dogs (Altti, Jojo, Wilma, Iiris, Koff and Bea). The weather’s been good for
training. Remembering past years with September temperatures well above 15oC.
This morning we had the first frost, and it’s been a real luxury to be able to
train the dogs during day time with temperature under 10 oC.
The E-boys have also
started training. So far they’ve had just one run, with grannies Zigi and
Dooris in lead. All youngster did quite well, and looked really happy after the
run. It’s a nice start for them all.

We’re having quite
funny races coming up. I’m planning on training for long distance for winter
races, and Suvi’s heading for mid distance, but now in autumn our dogs will
participate on two off snow sprint races, Ohkola and Jämi. It’s a bit silly
thing really, because we don’t let them run that fast, but it’s nice practice
for races. Neither of us will be doing the driving. We’ve “hired” a musher to
do it for us.
