2/12 Put out a picturepage of
some trainingshots from
yesterday...after the run it started to icerain and everything was
glazed. But luckily its not turned into mild weather yet. It was
beautiful in the forest with rime on the trees. The adults ran 42 the
youngsters 10kmtrs. Not allways time to be out as long as one should
like! Life is other things than dogtraining too for most of us. |
19/12 Larkas pups was 14 days friday. They have
now got their own page up...
Larkas pups here |
|
19/12 Today it snowed about 6-7 cmtrs, and
we had a nice 25kmtr run in Hurdal with the a-team + Noia, and
Ronny in the sled. The layer of fresh snow was needed to cover up the
icy trail, so today it was a silent and wonderful run. Its forcasted
cold weather all week so there will be more sledding even though its a
busy week, Had som dogs limping but seems like everyone is fine now.
There are 3 females in heat though so boys are a bit stressed- Log is
720 kmtrs hope to get some longer runs on them during christmas/new
year. |
|
13/12 Its still kind of wintery down here even
though trails mostly are icy and the forestroads even more so. We have
been out on the sleds 5 days since last wednesday. I had a couple of
very nice nightruns, the best night with moonlight, snowcrystals
glittering like thousands of diamonds, 8below c cand dogs ruinning
very well....Next day it was of course raining...One learns to
apreciate things one took for granted...all the depressing talk about
glovbal warming makes a sleddrun in good snow and cold weather feel
like luxury. Iver is not as fast as he used to be so Carlos is main leader now together with Yin. We have to do some work on comands, I must drive him more with Noia to learn, since Yins thing is speed, not comands. She is hopeless when it comes to comands since she is so stubborn! Ravn will have some learningrounds with Noia too since he is sailing up as a leader for next year. I had reasonable comandleaders for the last 13 years so its a new situation not allways to get where I want without anchering up... But we are working on it!. |

8/12 Hoooray! Winter has arrived! Down here too. One never
knows how long it will stay,so off to the woods we go wether one has
other things to do or not.... The runs yesterday and today was not
longer than 18kmtrs but with two persons on a 9 dog team, with partly
trailbraking in 30 cm snow that was enough. Up in the hills of Holter
it was much more snow than down here. Today I ran two 6-dogteams, since I dislike running larger teams when there is no anchorhold. Hope for some longer runs one of these days though Traininglog is now 600kmtrs. Larkas puppies are doing fine. I will keep two myself and the other two are spoken for. |
6/12
We spent half the weekend at Øvre Åstabru, a place 160kmtrs from here
where there is early snow.It was many people there training at the aprox 35 cmtrs of snow. Nice to see real winter again, even though it was no hold for snowhook and brake....The a-team had a 20km run saturday night and 32km at sunday, the youngsters had 20kmtr runs. It has snowed little by little down here too, so its starting to look like winter. Not enough snow in the terrain but on unplowed forestroads its possible to use sleds. |
6/12 Larka got 4 nice, energetic even pups last
week. 3 females and a male, all greys. They came out fast and are
doing fine:) |
|
29/11-05 Winter! Only thing missing is 15cm
of snow. But at least its nice with some trainingruns in 10 below and
without muddy dogs! And good for dogs feet to run on fresh snow
for a change even if it is in front of a wheicle. We are now training 26 km, thats the longest strech possible to train on the back and forth road on Holter Luckily its a turningpoint up in the hills, but here its to steep to go down if the ice comes. Total training is 470km. Here are some pics fromtraining tonight 
Hmmm this rabid looking animal is sweet pretty Marja |
19/11 Noia (Nuch Nay-La-Chees Cool Running
Kenoia) was 10 years recently and today we tried to take a
familypicture of Noia with 3 generations after her, Iver, Larka and
Kylo. Well to make 4 dogs sit beside me in chronologic row? Forget it.
Noia was pissed pretty soon with ears wide and flat and a grumpy mouth:)
She dislike to be told where to sit. Iver too. 
 Noia, Kylo, Larka and Iver |
|
13/11 The snow was a tease...been raining
constantly now, with high temperatures. and mostly very humid air. So
the dream of an early winter dissappeared for a while. Not very
pleasent not to be able to open ONE snap cause they are full of
sand, to load 14 wet, muddy dogs on every trainingrun...But the dogs
wag their tails anyhow....they work well and training proceeds ok. But
my car smell very bad. Frontpage of newspaper the other day: "Stack
away the skiis, put out the umbrella...and wait for a recordwarm wet
winter...." YAAACK! |
|
28/10 First
time on the sled last night! With two 6-dog teams. 1 month earlier
than last year, two weeks earlier than 2003. But it was only that one run, today its +10 celsius so the touch of winter is gone. But its allways neat with an early sledrun. We have about 240 kmtrs now and the longest run was 21kmtrs Not very impressing, but quality of training was better than in a long time and I am very happy with the dogs so far.. I just hope for icefree roads next days since I am off from nightshift. |
|
27/10 Larka
is 1 month pregnant with Troy. Puppies expected in
beginning of desember. See Current Litters for info |
|
27/10-05
Training is going good, mostly with two persons on the Dyckcart so
they have some load to pull But now comes the period where everything suddenly can turn into ice and make things difficult...First snow has arrived, some 15cmters in the hills! Thats 3 weeks earlier than last year but it will soon melt since is forcasted 12degrees:( Also visited Chicki in DalaFloda, Sweden some weekends ago and trained on the nice sandy roads there. I envi her those roads!  |
|
7/9 Training is
proceeding well now, I am all inspired for a descent
raceseason. I will participate in the amount of middledistanceraces
time (I work every 3. weekend and its hard to swap the weekends that
crash with races) and economy allows. Like everyone I hope for good
snow so one does`nt have to travel so far to find it, gasprize is
recordhigh again, between 10-11 krones pr liter. Dogs trained for races this year is Hexa Yin, Iver, Carlos Lead, Lømmel, Isi, Vadim Troy and Ivanka teamdogs. Noia and Djerva are retired and leaders for the 4 youngsters, and Denali is to young to run. NSHK had its fallcamp on Finnskogen last weekend, in terrible weather friday and saturday then nicer. Nice gravelroads to train on. There was the usual rigrace, but with few teams entered. Only a few seconds divided the 8-dogteams. Here are some pictures from the weekend: Foto Kari Hope and Rikke

19/9 A partly
stressfull weekend at the spescialityshow in Evertsberg is over. When
one enter many dogs, it gets too little time to look at other dogs or
speak to all the people one would like to speak more with. Saturday
night we were all exhausted! Luckily there was sunny weather when the Luxmoores judged 150 siberians. Whilst 150 is a common entry in british championshipshows, this the largest group of the breed gathered in Sweden for a very long time.There were much 2. prizes given out espescially in the female classes, Big winner this weekend was kennel Vargevass who won most groups. BIR (BOB) was the father of Hexas litter this summer, Sujozov of Vargevass Congratulations to Karsten! The results of my kennel was: Nay-La-Chee `s Cry Wolf Vadim 1AK CK and nr 3.

4/9 We have some sad days her after we realized
the shocking fact that Dilla`s steadily growing belly not contained
pups but ascites. She had to be put down today since there was
no hope according to vets. The big belly made it difficult for
her to eat and breath. X-ray and ultrasound didn`t reveal too much
because of all the fluid, but at least liver, hearth and kidneys were
normal. Orthopsy will reveal what caused this..She had lost a lot of weight but its not more than a week since she was playing full speed with her Ravn and Marja. Dilla was the happiest, most talkative and tailwagging siberian I ever had. Her dark mischiveus face and happy woo-wooing will be deeply missed in the dogyard. Must bring unluck to be named Dilla, the only other young dog I had to put down were Dilla 1 who tore her tongue severely. 
Dilla playing less than 3 weeks ago |

24/8-05 Suddenly the summer is almost over.and dogtraining-time is coming closer! As usuall its troublesome here before the sheep are taken inside in end of september. I dislike loading siberians with sheep all around.It takes a lot of travelling to find roads that is usable, bur we will take an expedition one of these days to look for gravelroads. 
 For the first time the dogs had some *pre-training* here from the beginning of july due to cool weather and the fact that I FINALLY got around to fix the saccocart. I had it for years but didnt use it. I think its enough with two dogs at the time.( Dont know how people have the nerves to drive 4-7 dogs on such carts...) I go 3 minutes down the road where there is a gravel countryroad 4kmtrs roundtrip, and go with 3 x2dog teams each time so everyone gets out once or twice a week: Quite fun really now that everyone has gotten acoustomed to the rods . And nice training on standing still, left and right and shut up during hook up:) Good physical training too since they have to pull some load.(ME) I am determined that the new generations of dogs will have some more obidiencetraining than the middleaged ones have. The 4 youngsters are now accustomed to sit before they get their food and NOT touch it until they are allowed. Soon I will try to make them sit before they are allowed out of the car, I have enough canonballs allreaddy...  |

24/7 Been a
while, holiday is over and we are starting to look forward to fall and
winter. My boyfriend Ronny are getting more and more interested in the dogs and are a great help at the kennel. Here is Isi and Ronny at the mouintans this holiday.  Hexas pups have long time left, I kept a female called Denali. The plan was to keep two but since I got River it was only one to keep the dognumber down. Dogs are all without coat and look forward to their daily run in the exercisingpen. Iver has gotten ballcrazy at his older days and await his 5 minutes of football everyday:) Here are the yard in summerclothes. 
 Finally got to try the 4 youngsters in harness, they are 8 months now. Everything went well, and they all got the point pretty quick, espescially River.... 
Denali playing with mum |

23/6 I
recently got the white boy
River, Kylos brother, as a present from the italians that

4/5 Spring is
in the air! Lazy days for the dogs, while I allways have some
repairjobs to do in the kennel. Spring is early like last year and I
enjoy gardenwork too. Puppies are doing fine. I will keep a number of
pups this year since the teammembers are getting older. There
are none left here of the generation of 3 years that I kept, since
they all grew too small and shortlegged. There was a
giardiainfestation here that year and its rare in Norway so the pups
had diahrrea for long periods before we found out what was wrong. This
may have caused the unnromal small sizes. Here are some pics of the dogs enjoying their daily run in the exercizingpen 
 |
|
1/4 Hex had 6
nice puppies last night, 2 females and 4 males. Not the dirtyfaces I
expected, but 3 darkgrey splashcoats, two greys and one agouti
Thanks to Hanne for delivering them when I was at work.

5/4-05 Last
runs....
 The season was ended with a trip with the whole kennel to Anne and Kjells cabin near the dogtrail in Gausdal in beautiful, but for the dogs, warm weather. It was releaving with a nice finish on the in general misserable winter. The puppies are getting very accustomed to traveling and behave very well But a bit sad to store away sleds and equipment.... |
1/4
 Stayed
home in easter but had some beautiful last run in the dogtrails in
Romeriksåsen before snow melted. A snowfall in middle of march made the conditions better than it has been all winter. And it was so hot that the dogs managed to relax while we had a fire.... Now Im off to Gausdal for the seasons last sledding:

Huskydraget last weekend. Almost like a sprintrace, 2 x 30 km on
very flat terrain. I ran in open class with 8 dogs, H Ebert 8, Manfred Witchel 10 and Anne Liese Witchel 7. Fun to have the germans behind me on a resultlist: for once!. Team was Iver and Yin in L, Vadim, Lømmel, Isi , Ivanka, Carlos and Troy Results here

28/2 NSHK had
its annual Winterrace on Femundtunet. It was great snowconditions
and many participants. I brought all 21 dogs so its no holliday:) .
Luckily my boyfriend is getting good at helping with the dogs and he
had his first time driving a team up there. I participated in 8-dog
sprint 18kmtrs and the class had 10 competitors. I was nr 5, the 4
first places were occupied by danes and swedes:) Team was Iver and Yin
in lead, Vadim, Lømmel, Ivanka Isi, Troy and Carlos .Allways nice to
meet people again but time passses too fast.
Results |

6/2-05 Had a
couple of nice runs in Hurdal, where there was much more snow than
here, still no anchorhold, but with Ronny in the sled I can
train all 11 at the time. Today its all grey down here again and ground is bare. I hope to go away at next days off from nightshifts. Here s a couple pic from our last runs in Hurdal 
 In front Hex and Noia, Isi and Yin, Lømmel and Vadim, Iver and Carlos, Troy, Nikki and Ivanka |
|
29/1 Tried the
sled tonight on very little snow on the local road. No hold for anchor
and hard to break so had to drive small teams. Dogs got the diahrrea
that was around and has rested for a week, so first time out again
yesterday. Seems we have to enter sprintcalss on the NSHK race instead of middledistance. :( |
|
22/1 The ground
is finally white again, after the mildest january recorded down
here. But its not enough to run dogs on, so nearest trail is Gåsbu,
Hamar 110 km each way. Have tried to go there once a week now, late at
night and stayed over so that I get two trainingrounds at one trip..
But I can shoot an arrow after a middle distance race season. A pity since I havent racetrained properly for some seasons now and I was hoping for an ok race season this year. Regular training has only been possible for people that can travel and stay away from home to train.Well, nothing one can do with the weather: I have fun with the puppies and work with them. Will put out new pics soon. And hopefully there will still be a lot of nice trips to places with snow Here is a pic from Gåsbu taken recently  |
|
9/1-05 Tried to train two nights ago, just glare ice with some gravel on where I usually train both with wheicle and sled. And the road was closed after 4 km due to ice. Not a distance one want to train in january....Trainingamount is still under 600km since there have been little increase in distances for a long while. Would have been nice to stay for a week somwhere with snow buts its impossible for me to manage. This is frustrating indeed. |
|
6/1-05 Winter is
still just hopeless down here. Snow came but melted again. Ice is back
but its still possible to go out with small teams in the hills. I have
been out on sled just a couple of times since november, the rest of
training is short stretches, 11-14 km in front of car. |
|
22/12 Winter seem to delay again. Hardly snow anywhere..... :( |
|
22/12 New pics of
Larkas pups
and
Dillas
pups Larkas pups is the nicest looking bunch of puppies I ever had, at least at this stage.They have very good proportions, angulations and type even in young age |
|
15/12 Finally
possible to train again since ice has melted down on forest roads..
Dogs has been off for 13days. No snow forcasted for a while. But good
to be able to go out again. |
|
11/12 What
miserable weather....A mild weather melted the snow but left icy roads
so my dogs hasn`t been trained for 9 days now. Better stay home than
risk injuries on the slick roads No snow is forcasted either and I have no possibility to go to the mouintans., |
|
5/12 They
are a fun and sosciable gang and some rascals allreaddy New
Pics of Dillas
pups here The snow has melted now and its probably icy all over. What a pity now that training was good... |
30/11-04 First time out with the sled
this weekend at NSHKS trainingcamp in Syningen. Beautiful winter
weather and good trails and a lot of people participating made it a
nice weekend for both people and dogs!
 Training run in the nice terrain of Syningen My car and the handy stake out system made by Frank Guldberg |

26/11
Larka
delivered 5 large pups (she was
extremely big but rest was water....) 2 silvergrey and a white male
and one grey and one silvergrey female. Pics will come soon.
Father is Troy There is 1 female available in this litter.
More pics here |
|
24/11-04 Winter
has arrived with a week of cold weather and snow. Didnt try the sled
yet but are going to the mouinans this weekend. I am waiting for Larka
to labour, she is very big now and will probably get 7 pups too.... Dillas pups are doing fine, there are two females available. |
|
6/11-04 Dilla delivered 7 fine pups yesterday, one of the fastest and easiest labour I had here. There were 3 males and 4 females.Exept for a black clovermasked female and a grey clovermasked male, all are *dirtyfaces* similar to Dilla Pics of Dillas pups here |
|
3/11-04 Training dogs alone for the first time
since I injured ancle...have to let the dogs loose before and after hook
up, since I cant hold on to them.Most of them are ok to let loose
fortunatly. I manage everything alone now but expect to have pain in the
leg for quite a while. Dilla is getting big, she is due end of this week. I forecast it will be at least 6-7 pups. Larka is starting to grow too. |
|
25/10 Attended the
only rig race I had time for this fall , arranged by two local
sleddog clubs Great fun with 45 teams, 20 of them 8 dog teams in wich I started. The route is 6 km. Has never been that many entries before! The dogs did great and we were 11 out of 20 teams.Only one other siberian team, one malamute and one eskimodogteam. What wasn`t so great is that I slipped and fell on the outside party afterwards and injured an ancle. Luckily it wans`t broken but its painfull and I have to use one leg and crouches...not very convenient with kennel and 3 floor house, and the training has stopped til I am able to walk and drive a car again. |
|
18/10 I have 12 mainstring dogs in training now,
that is Iver, Yin, Isi, Vadim, Lømmel, Hexa, Troy, Nikki Attilla,
Carlos, Noia and Ivanka. I dont get out more than 3 times a week, thats
what I get time for and can afford. (gasprizes are at a new costpeak....)

18/10 Dilla
is definatly pregnant, puppies are due beginning of november. Also pregnant is Lure Larka. She is bred to Nay-La-Chee`s Narrow Trail Troy and puppies are due middle of november |
|
2/8  Nay-La-Chee`s
Cry Wolf Xo (NLC Iver Glipp x
NLC Svarte Ildico) , owned by Erik
Meinhart arrived today. The plan is to breed him to Dilla, who is in heat now. She is not the easiest to breed though, since she prefers to lie on her back and whiggle her legs... I have Xo `s brother Vadim but he seem to have a more hyper temperament, while Xo is very calm and quiet. Besides Xo is larger, better buildt and has a better coat than Vadim. Xo has been kenneled here now and then and is such a pleasent boy to have around, he also works well in harness as a leaddog. Xo in lead at Rørosløpet 04 |
