Great Canadian Superstore 1 dog pull

This year at Rendezous the middle wight division (60-99lbs) had an amazing turnout. There is some untapped talent with a lot of the first time pullers, hopefully some of these "new dogs" will make it out to the Summer dog pull. As expected and very well deserved Asha took home first place, Sherpa snagged second place and the pound pulled per pound of dog (which I personally think is the top award) and Aklak place third and had a personal best pull.

Aklak's signature "dancing bear" move

Nice form....slow and low

happy Aklak

He knows when he is done... "take this harness off and bring me fish"

Is Rico a Rico Suave?....you tell us

The Urban Dictionary defines Rico Suave as

A guy who is hot and knows it. Someone who has a cool confidence that over flows. Walks with a style that says "hey girls, take a look at this.." Not necessarily a bad thing

Suave? or just Rico

My 1st Dog Race

Well my first race is finally behind me and it was GREAT!

My team of Peat (formerly of Drag N' Fly Kennel, now a member of Akeno Kennel), Sadie, Rico and Lucky hauled me over the 7km course at this years 4 dog Rendezvous race.

In lead is Sadie and Peat, with Rico and Lucky in wheel. Peat is the old man (and the real team leader) at 5 years old while the rest of them are our "puppies" at 11 months old.

I look forward to many more races with these fantasic dogs!

This is what happens when you bang your HEAD!

It started out as just another routine dog feeding until....BANG! I didn't duck down enough to clear the cross bar on the gate to the dogyard. The came the pain and then the blood....oh my did it pour. It seems that in construction of our gate we did not clip the fencing close enough and that left one extra long "scalp ripper" hanging down just far enough to open my head up. Heather wanted my to get stitches, which looking back was probably the smart thing, but for those of you that know me I would rather a scar over a needle any day!
