On wednesday I went with our new puppy Tyler (Tyler Hamilton ;)) to the vet that she gets her vaccination. In the car she was not that happy, but this time the ride was only 40 km long.

Where do I have to go this time?
Oh, it´s not that bad in Annettes clinic and she has always some food for nice puppies ;)))

But at home again with the other puppies at the lake it´s much better!!!

Tyler is really small against the other puppies (of course nearly 6 weeks younger). Here she is the white one to the right, the white one besides her is Andrew, the black one with the ball is Giovanni. Sivtsov and Felice in the background.

A new puppy

Yesterday I went over the norwegian border to Bodö. There I was taking a 9 week old puppy from Knut Skår. Father of the puppy is our Tchmil, the mother is a daughter of our old famous Robert. Could be an interesting combination!

Our little girl to the right together with her black brother.
Mama Ronja, a typical Robert offspring.

The little girl is not so sure if it´s ok with me...

On my way through the mountains. You can see there is still snow left.

So we spend the night...I was late at home so we decide not to shock the girl anymore and she should stay in the house with us. So I took a mattress and sleeping bag and we had a good first night together. Now she is out in the kennel with the other dogs. Maybe she liked the last night more?

Busy weekend

This weekend was little busy for us. We drove for a short trip to Finland to visit Alex and Daniel Schwarz. They have a cosy private hotel together with their parents. They drive their guests even with sleddogs and now they want also to compete on races. Last year they bought already two of our dogs and now they bought the third one. So we put the dog into the car to bring him to Alex and Daniel. That had more reasons, first we wanted to know how they live - and we can say that they have it very nice and that we can recommend to make holidays there ( http://www.naturepoint.fi/ ). The other reason for our visit was that the two brothers were members in the austria and finnish national team in cross-country skiing. So they know how to wax skiis or even runners for the sled. We got a very good instruction how to do and hope that we don´t forget too much ;)))

Alex is choosing the wax and Jörg is watching with interest


Really a lot of wax!

Alex put the wax onto the runner, Jörg is still interested

Now the wax has to remove

This was a really impressing cup-collection. Do you believe now that they are professionals?

After coming home we trained the dogs this morning. They were very happy about it after sitting one day in the kennel.

Tchmil and Fränk in lead, Susan like usual beside the ATV. She things that we couldn´t manage it without her...

Water is good!

Frederico and Vino

Here finally some pictures of our puppies. They grow now really fast and soon we need the bike or the ATv to go out with them. Here plays Jörg soccer with them, a few are more interested to tease Susan.

In the woods.

At the lake, Sivtsov in front, Fausto behind her.

They even like it to go into the water, it´s hard to see the dark dogs there. The white Andrew is easier to see.

Giovanni jumps onto the bridge

Who let the dogs out?

We of course :) After a really nice and warm summer without any mosquito we were training our dogs the first time today. The temperature was 10 degrees the whole day, so that was perfect. Jörg was on work today so it was my part to give the shoot for the season 2011/12!!! I was splitting the dogs in two groups and trained two teams. That was really relaxed with only 9 dogs hooked up and all went well. The dogs and we are happy now - the new season has started ;) I have no pics this time, it was raining, I forgot the camera and and and... The next time I make some pictures and post even a few more ones from our puppies :))
