Spring is coming, always a great season, but also means winter is gone, no more snow for us...
We did have a great winter time @ Haidmühle, Germany and @ Auronzo di Cadore, Italy!

White Xmas Weekend!!

2010-12-29T11:57:00.000+01:00

Xmas 2010 was maybe the best white Xmas ever!
Lot's of snow, so of course we went for nice sleigh rides with the dogs!!

On Friday Alex enjoyed a lovely sleigh ride with Cane, Yucka, Kaya and Diesel and I went for a nice winter walk with Bailey and Qanuk!

On saturday we both went for a beautiful sleigh ride, so I could finaly use my new sled for the very first time!! It was wonderful!! Alex went with Cane & Yucka and I went with Kaya & Diesel!! It was pretty hard trough the deep snow, but we all loved it!!

In the evening we had a nice Xmas gourmet fondue with Alex' mom!

On Sunday Alex took our nephew Jori out for a sleigh ride, with Cane, Yucka, Kaya & Diesel in front of the sled. Jori was over the moon, he loved it and didn't feel like going home any time soon...

In the meanwhile I went for a beautiful winterwalk together with my dad, who was pulling a little sled with our nephew Luka on it. My sister Nicolien and her husband Mark also joined the nice walk and of course we took our sweet Bailey & Qanuk with us.

In the evening we all enjoyed a nice home-cooked Xmas gourmet dinner at my parents home.

Truly a wonderful white Xmas weekend!!

Pampa Sleddog Race

2010-12-06T14:38:00.002+01:00

Never before we experienced Pampa Sleddog Race this cold and snowy!

Thanks to a great trailteam, the trail was very good on Saturday, not enough snow so it was still was a cart race as usual. Due to rain and frost on Sunday morning the decision was made to cancel the race for that day, it would be too dangerous!

Nevertheless, we had a great week-end with great friends surrounding us!

Our team did a great job! We finished 2nd out of 5 in C2, with an average of 16,47 km ph, so we were very proud of our dogs, as always!

12-14/11/2010 - Pampa Training, Helchteren Belgium

Rain, wind, mud, rain, wind, more mud.... That's Pampa training 2010 in short...

But besides the bad weather, we had a great weekend!! We also had a few dry periods, so it wasn't all bad!
We enjoyed the schnapp's-hour (or 2) and the warm cups of thee with Eskimops were very welcome!!

The dogs had a blast on the muddy trail and really had to work, they loved it!!

It was nice to see Chris & Anne with Ookam on Friday, Ookam (out of our litter 2010) is a big boy already and a big sweetheart!!
Thanks to Harry & Isa for their visit on Sunday, it was very nice to see Hirko (out of our litter 2008) again, he's looking great and he's such a sweet boy!!
