New month and more running dogs, while we go in to october and closer to the start of the winter season we start to increas the training distance. Just like the song by Willie Nelson, "On the road again" we hit the trails again while singin on the trail again, i cant wait to get on the trail again. Though the dogs have been having kind of two weeks off from training, well my handler did two runs per team so almost 2 weeks off. I´m happy with how the dogs looks and how eager they are to get back to it again while im here again. We will now be training for three weeks and then dogs are going to have a week off again while i myslef am home with my family, who will be joining me in Rovaniemi on the 14th of october for a week and i can´t wait to see my wife and kids again. Eaven though i only been gone for a day now i miss them alot, but now its time to focus on our superstars.
So whats new?
Well there is not much to tell yet but sure two weeks in a race kennel is quite some time ;) Not! :D There is some news off course. While the temperature has gone down while i was gone dogs are starting to get more active and want to do stuff all the time, for exemple. Jack Daniels decided to figure his way over the fence so he cuold sneak in to the team whos training (Obviusley not his team though), soooo... a little bit of extra work to get that situation fixed and lets see if my boy is staying in his kennel for now :D
Moras pups are growing and they just started to eat real food and moving around alot more than two weeks ago. For sure its going to bee intresting to see what these little monsters will grow to be. I have not made my mind up yet about how manny will stay at the kennel but i guess there is still one or two looking for there future home and team ;)
Our bigger pups, the ones out of Shira x Jim Beam and Älli x Nekk are also growing and they are looking pretty decent allready, i really have a good feeling about this years pups. We are going to have a nice spring trating to harness break them and see what they really are.
Like i said in the begining we got right back to training and dogs are looking super good, its nice to try out some new things in training like the plan we have for this season with longer rest periods between training periods. Its also really intresting to try new leaders in training, this season we got two new leaders who have not been running lead before. Jim Beam, Nikolai and Fur Rondy have taken there place up there with some of our old lead dogs, and they are showing real good signs.
Race news?
As from now the Allright kennel has signed up for all the planed races this season, January its going to be Lapland Quest 250km what Kim has started and finished 3 times allready (In our calulations there is only three mushers who have finnished 3 LQ250 races so far) and we are aiming for a good run and a nice happy team at the finish line. In march its going to be our main goal, the Finnnmarksloppet 600km. With some changes in the rules since last time we runned it its going to be a nice test to see how we can get trough it. Then in early april we are heading to Pasvik trail 240km, another race Kim has started and finished 3 times.
I think we are going to have a great season ahead of us!!!!
