New Puppy Pictures

The top left photo is Mercedes; the top right photo is Diamond; the piebald puppy is Polar Bear.

I snapped a few shots over the last few days of the puppies. I still need to get one of Echo and Jag. Hopefully I can get them in the next few days. Feel free to leave a note and let us know what you think!!

Fall in the air?

Well the mornings here are really starting to feel like some training temps! The dogs are getting all excited at 5:30am! The puppies too....not too sure if they know why they just know everyone else is excited so I might as well be too! LOL... I have seen a few trees starting to turn colours as well as the bean crops are starting to yellow. Sure signs of fall.

We started stake out training with the puppies today. Jag, Mercedes and Diamond all did well once they realized they couldn't run away. Polar Bear did well after about a half hour of standing there thinking she was going for a walk! LOL...... Echo was a little scared but did well right near the end.

We are still looking for a home for Pearl. She has come along nicely in the last year. Mind you she doesn't like other females, males are fine(I guess that comes from being the only girl in a litter of 8!). She is a solid little girl and Dante will be seeing what she can do in harness this fall. Rocky has gained weight steadily over the summer and is now a nice weight and filling out lovely. He is looking more and more like his grandfather Jello (www.mishawum.com )

Look for some updated photos of the puppies in the coming days. There may be a few adults available this winter/spring, feel free to contact us for more information.

Not too much new......

Well we are still surviving the heat humans and dogs alike! Most of our nights have been cooler and the dogs notice and get all excited! They are just as anxious to get out and run as I think Dante is becoming. The pups are all maturely nicely. We have noticed in the past week or so they seemed to have sprouted some more. Echo is still our tallest girl but not by much...Diamond and Mercedes are giving her a good run.
Our boy Rocky (from our EmmaxRocky breeding with Mishawum) is really turning into a nice boy! Watch for some updated photos soon! Our friends over in Vermont at PeacePups Dogsledding are having fun with our boys Thunder/Prescott. Pacem (Loutus x Enzo)was my favourite and is one sweet girl. She went camping/sailing with them this past week and is looking wonderful!!
As all our racing friends are getting anxious for cooler temps and training/racing season to be upon us we wait anxiously with them! We are hoping for a successful season on the trail. Watch for updates on our progress. There may be a few dogs available for sale.
Well off to try and stay cool and start to get the kids ready for back to school.....its just 2 weeks away!! YEAH!!!

Its HOT!

Well is seems summer has FINALLY arrived in Southwestern Ontario! Its HOT and humid! The dogs hate it. But alas they must endure as we all must. I did hear mention that this winter we will see an above average snow fall that we haven't seen in years! Maybe just maybe we can get in some serious training and racing this winter. Dante is anxious to get back out on the circuit seeing as he took 2 winters off so he could be near his dad in his illness.

It still seems I am in the middle of a husky cloud as the dogs continue to drop their coats.......time for some bathing and blowing out of the coats.

Nikki has been to a few shows. She is a pistol that's for sure! I love her personality very much! She is a VERY social dog and her tempermant is wonderful.

The pups continue to grow quickly and although they look sleek they are SOLID! Keep an eye out for some upcoming photos soon.

Well its off to try and keep cool! Feel free to drop a note and say hi!

I still have a pup or two for sale so if you are interested in adding a new member to your team let me know!!

New pictures

I wish I knew what Mother Nature was up too. You can tell she is a woman as she is constantly changing her mind! She needs to decide and stick with either warm and sunny or back to winter!

I have posted some new candid photos of the available puppies. You can take a peek at them here:

Not too much here to update on. Just trying to enjoy some lazy days of summer..........if they would ever get here!

Stay tuned for show updates!!

Season's Change

Spring is in the air!! Most of the dogs are starting to finally drop their winter coats. The next few weeks will be spent with everyone taking their turns brushing out dogs!

Our puppy girls are growing like weeds! They are all going to be good sized females which will be nice. Even our little small girl FingerPaint has caught up very nicely with her sisters. Speaking of FingerPaint she has found herself a new home in Switzerland! She is doing very well and her flight didn't bother her at all. She has joined a lovely sprint racing kennel.

A few more changes have occured with the changing of the seasons....Prescott and Thunder have moved on to a wonderful home in Vermont. They have joined Ken at PeacePups DogSled Rides and Tours . Both boys are fitting in nicely.

I have uploaded a new video clip of the pups running in the yard. You can view it here at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NdrncVLfpw
We still have 3 beautiful pups available to approved homes. Echo and Polar Bear would make lovely additions to an active race team. Porsche will make a wonderful pet or rec team addition.

The whole litter is turning out so beautifully. I knew that when they were born on the day Dante's father passed away that there were very special things in store for this litter. We are excited for the seasons to come to see and hear how they all brighten each new families life.

I pray that you all enjoy the offseason ( for our mushing friends) and all the summer shows(for our dog show friends) and look forward to hearing from you.

How Time Flies

WOW! Its hard to believe 14 weeks have flown by. The pups are 14 weeks today and are looking really nice. We have 4 available pups still looking for homes. You can view them here:

Not too sure if the news has been heard by everyone. But come this summer Yahoo is closing the Geocities site. So that means we will be moving our website to a different host. As soon as I find one that will fit our needs I will make sure I post it here so you can reset your bookmarks if you have us in your favourites.

It looks like warmer weather is starting to show itself in Southwestern Ontario. Today was almost 30C!!! We are liking the warmer temps not too sure if our furkids are though. With warmer temps we can focus on getting gear ready for next fall and cleaning up the yard and planting gardens. Also with warmer temps means some more shows for us to do. We are looking forward to showing our new prospect Nikki. She is a fireball and loves people and thinks the world revolves around her. Keep tuned in to hear about Adventures with Nikki in the coming months.

We still have 1 adult looking for a home as well. Feel free to look at Pearl. She is a little smaller than we would like. So if you need a smaller girl to add to your race team or need a new companion feel free to drop us a note.

I hope you all are enjoying your spring!
