There is still no snow on the Island. I arrived for the holidays hoping to get some sledding done and well although I couldn't get the dogs on the real "sled", I had my Rhino scooter to play with. It's not as sturdy as a sled, therefore, the maximum number of dogs that I can handle on it is two. So... I decided to forget about getting snow and getting some working titles on the gravel trails instead. First day we went to Miscouche ( 24 km / 15 miles ) , second day we ventured to Northam ( 24 km / 15 miles ) and the third day we made our last trip to Richmond ( 16 km / 10 miles ). I ran Koal and Naome and there were an awesome team of two. Not once did they show signs of being tired and not once did they break their gait. They were on a full trot all three runs and averaged a speed of 2.5 hours per 15 miles and 1.4 hours for the 10 mile trip. Showing promise as future lead dogs. These runs earned their Working Team Dog titles from the Alaskan Malamute Club of America (pending). |

Wow!! What a warm day!! There is very little snow left, into deeper in the wooded areas. The ground is incredibly dry which makes carting nice. This time of year, we usually get home full of mud!!

This week we have about 2 inches of snow covering the frozen ground, just enough for short runs. The dogs are really enjoying themselves, in the photos are various pictures of Fiery & Zouk and Aero and Naome. |

At lead is Fiery and Zouk and Wheel is Naome and Koal. Good news that Koal's pad is healing up great and we started running him again despite most of the females are in or going out of heat! We are very pleased with Zouk's performance, very promising for the future. Fiery is just that FIRE in harness. This girl never quits and is learning the ropes of being at lead quite quickly. She is probably the best female I've ever had in harness! Noame is doing very well also, she very consistent in her pulling. The hard part is slowing her down in order to match up with the rest so I assume she would tire faster.
