Tillykke til Dansk Kennel Klub...

I dag er en stor dag for, De Danske Polare Racer...

Der er ikke længere tvungen HD fotografering eller tvungen udstillings-premiering; for at bruge sin hund i avl...

Tak til Jørgen Hindse, Formand for Dansk Kennel Klub og eksteriørdommer; klip fra; "Hunden" nr 3 (DKK):

"FORBEDRE - ikke forandre
.....

Om visse racer fristes man til at bruge betegnelsen "udartet" i stedet for "udviklet sig" gennem årene.....

Vi bør som dommere hele tiden være på vagt over for, hvornår vi kommer til at bidrage til en uheldig udvikling."

Tak til Jens Glavind, Direktør for Dansk Kennel Klub; klip fra "Polarhunden", December 2011(DPHK).

"Det er et problem, hvis avlskravene af opdrætterne opleves som for overvældende...Det betyder risiko for en stadig indsnævring af populationen og deraf følgende forøget risiko for indavl...

...DKK ønsker at mennesker, der ikke har lyst til at deltage på en hundeudstilling, ikke per automatik er afskåret fra at bruge deres hund i avl."

Glædelig Jul

Tillykke Benjamin, 11 år

foto: Our debut in scooter class, 6.7 km. 10 meter to goal limit. Dolly and Maisie have just passed the dobermann. Time 17.20 min, enough to take first place (best purebred).

Taste of Winther

foto: Back on the "Dyck". 14 km in Gludsted Plantage. Dogs: from front, Vince - Kaise, Seppe - Barak, Kebne - Maisie, Tanna - Fanny, Dolly - Debbie, Wilma - Buster.

Friday, we are going to Linnet Skov, for the first race this season. 

Equipment

foto: Gludsted, saturday. Dogs: Vince - Maisie, lead, Wilma (hidden) - Buster, team and Kaise and Debbie, wheel.

The wagon is my old racewagon, rebuilded with 2 "mini-cross" wheels, fit with hydraulic brakes, perfekt to train tempo.

Front wheel has also breaks, a useful thing, when you have to go out to the dogs.

Our new "Spark-sykel" (kick bike) is also fit with mini-cross, back-wheel and hydraulic brake.

Once Upon a Time in Norway

To day it's 40 years ago since Talitta of Kolyma was born.

On spark-sykel (kick-bike) we can go out side the tracks we are demanded, today 6 km in Gludsted Syd, an area we yoused in the early days.

Issenbjerg with the wonderful heath around, is in the behind on the 4 first pic' (500 m before the car).

Last team (Kebne - Barak) and my self tok a new way.

Last Friday we visit Kompedal and also did 5 trips (4.5 km).

The Paw-Trecker is a fine alternative to bycycling - you are out by the dogs in a hurry, if you need and secondly, it is not so easy to help the athlets (by pedals).

And best of all - good way to train leadership.

All our dogs are doing good working attitude and more or less leadership in front of the spark-sykel.

Arctic Trail's Fang

40 years ago

foto: Arctic Trail's Fang, dob, 6. november 1972, after Igloo Pak's Wing-A out of Arctic trail's Kola. His littermate Amber also went to Scandinavia.

Fang did least 5 litters in Canada, before he went to Norway in 1978.

He was imported by Karsten Grønås, kennel Vargevass and gave 4 litters to the kennel.

Karsten tells about Fang: "Teamposition, Point.

Influential offspring: Debbie, Rusla, Scotty and Tuffy

Temperament: friendly, bit standoffish, good worker, happy in hookup."

In Norway Fang least sired to importent females:

Frami and Beauty, 1979, after Peik out of Mitzi av Vargevass (sister to Blue) owner Frode Bakke, Isslottets kennel.

Frami, owner Ove Uno Stenmyr, Kongsvinger, Norway, gave among others: Panja and Clou Fox, 1981.

Beauty gave the foundation bitch, Foxy, on kennel Isslottet, Norway, in 1984.

Fang and Amber became one of the most importent littermates in the historie of siberian husky in Scandinavia. Fang did a lot of fine dogs, specialy in Norway and Amber did two good litters in Sweden, specialy the first with Zero's Dargo.

In USA Amber and Fang was bouth well known and well spoken sleddogs. Fang did among other two litters on kennel Arctic Trail, before he went to Norway.

Arctic Trail's Amber

foto: Arctic Trail's Amber, dob, 6. november 1972, after Igloo Pak's Wing-A out of Arctic trail's Kola. Her littermate Fang also went to Scandinavia.

"Den välkända kenneln - kennel Snowtrails - hade sin glansperiod under 1980-talet. I tidningen Nome-Norge, en tidning för aktiva slädhundsförare, utnämndes "greven" Ingvar de Forest till 80-talets främste slädhunsuppfödare i Norden.

Det var bl a den lyckade avelskombinationen mellan Zero's Dargo och Arctic Trail's Amber som föranledde utmärkelsen.

De fyra avkommorna Snowtrails - Crazy, Frosty, Sandy och Misty (1979) var alla suvärena ledarhundar hos toppförare i Norden."

Ubudne gæster

I går torsdag fik vore to små heste (Sille og Mirelle) besøg af 12 store heste og føl. De kom fra en mark der ligger 1 km væk i fugle-flugts linie, men vi tror de løb en omvej, da de var meget tørstige og sultne.
