The sleddogs:

This season we have mostly young dogs on the team and it will be an exciting year for them. We want a soft start for them and will only participate in a few races in Norway.

The puppies this year are fantastic and we really look forward to harnessbreaking them - they carry the bloodlines of top dogs and are very much future hopes.

Sadly, Tiger has passed away and is now at the Rainbow Bridge but he lives on in his offspring.

Here they are on the field mid October:

We have filled out parts of our property during the last years in order to place the permanent dogyard there, the one we have had was only supposed to be temporary ;o) In the weekend we started with the preparations, moving tons of gravel and straightening the area out. Here's some pics of the start:

For comparison, this is how is was this winter (and it's not all snow!):

And now we're almost there! This is the puppypen and Tobys separate yard:

And the whole yard:

And this area is finally going to be a garden (hopefully next year ;o))

The following year and we have a beautiful garden!

And notice the new doghouse in the middle of the photo - all the dogs are getting new ones this year ;-) Freshly painted, as is the house!

And this area is going to have a fireplace and a barbeque of bricks, but that will probably have to wait until next year... But it's coming along with slate tiles.
