On Saturday December 17th we enjoyed a nice day together with Marjolein's sister Nicolien, her husband Mark, their kids Jori & Luka and Senna; their Labrador. 

Alex went for training the dogs and took Jori with him on the cart. It was a very nice training and it was obvious that Jori really enjoyed it; having a big smile on his face! 
In the meanwhile Marjolein went for a walk with Mark, Nicolien & Luka and of course we took Bailey, Qanuk, Copper & Senna with us. Copper and Senna had a great time running and playing together while Bailey and Qanuk took it easy sniffing around... 

After this training the dogs had some drinks and Alex went for a little round with Luka, who really wanted to go too, but in the end he wasn't too sure if he really liked it, he will probably like it more when he's a bit older ;o)

Thanks to Mark, Nic, Jori, Luka & Senna for a very nice day!!

Finally Alex' dream has come true: we added a Greenland Dog to our pack!
After being in contact with a lot of great Greenland Dog breeders and owners, we found the right boy for us at Rennfokk kennel, Norway. 

Copper has been with us for a few days now and he's doing very well! He's getting to know our malamutes and the first times they have been together went very well, Copper is very submissive, which of course is very good! As you can see on this video he's already playing a bit with the malamutes, they really love him!!

For us he's a very sweet and easy going boy, very playful, loves food and little bones. He also loves playing alone with his toys, especially his 'Kong Wubba' squeaky toy! 
He takes everything he 'owns' into his bench and just plays by himself. He knows what he can and can not do rather quickly but he also likes to try how far he can go... ;o)

Thanks to Anne & Gisle from Rennfokk Kennel for trusting us with this very special boy!!
And a very big thank you to Johan & Ellis for their great help and hospitality!!

For the second time we entered the Berlare race, organized by the Snow Racing Team. Just like last year it was a very well organized race, with a great atmosphere!

Our team did very well, we finished 3rd in C2.
1st day: 5,1km; 00:18:40 
2nd day: 5,1km: 00:19:08
With an average of 16,2 kmph.

We had a very nice and relaxing weekend with some great friends! It was also very nice to see Boy & Gisela again, thanks for the visit, you should enter the race next time ;o))
Thanks to Snow Racing Team for a great organisation and for another great weekend!

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Harry & Nadine's in the Ardennes! At the moment they are building a very nice new home in between meadows and forests, so we had a great relaxing time in beautiful surroundings!! 

The dogs did great training uphill and they had a blast running and playing in the big dog-playgrounds and of course also enjoyed some relaxing time at the stake-out! 

It was also really great to see our beloved Anokee again (Iluniaq Hanokee; out of our litter 2008; Kaya X Michigan). 
She truly is Kaya's little girl, looking a lot like her mommy! 
She's doing wonderful, very healthy and happy with a great temperament! 
She also does a great job working in Harry's C2 team!

We would like to thank our friends Harry & Nadine for their great hospitality, we really had a great time!! Thank you!!

Again we enjoyed the Kempentrail at Knegsel (NL).
Our team did great even though the weather was a bit too hot. 

This time we finished 3rd in C2!!  
1st day: 3,8km; 00:14:06 
2nd day: 3,8km: 00:13:48
With an average of 16,5 kmph.

Again we had a great time with some very good friends, and it's always nice to see again some people from Valkenswaard, the town where we grew up!! We also enjoyed the visit of Marjolein's parents and Nicolien, Mark, Jori & Luka and we would like to thank them for their great support!

Thanks to SSC-NL for a great organisation and for another great weekend!
Thanks to Tiny & Anja for the pictures, thanks to Rachelle for the video's! 

As always we had a great time at the first race of the season: Westerlo race!!

Our team was entered in the C2 class, and finished 2nd out of 5!
  1st day: 4km; 00:18:41 
2nd day: 4km: 00:16:06
With an average of 13,8 kmph. 

We can be very proud of our team, especially since it was the first time for Yucka & Diesel together as leaddogs, they really did a great job!! Kaya & Cane enjoyed being wheeldogs, a real change of scenery for Kaya, since she used to be our leaddog, but she loves it!!

We'd like to thank VFS for a great organisation and a wonderful weekend!!
Thanks to Rachelle & Tiny for the pictures!

Since we were planning a weekend for AMCB, we went to a camping in Tenneville, in the Ardennes to make plans, routes, etc.. 

Even though it was a 'work-weekend'  for AMCB, we did have a great time together with our friends Luud & Tiny, Jan & Anja, Steff, Bert & Nicky and all of our doggies!

Thanks to all for a great weekend!
Thanks to Nicky for the pictures!

Feel free to check out www.amcb.info for the weekend will organize on 25/11/2011-27/11/2011

Miki is out of our first litter with Kaya in 2008 with Michigan. 
He's lucky enough to be living with Martin & Natacha, who love to be active with Miki.

With their camper they have the possibility to go away for the weekend or for their holiday and enjoy some quality time when they feel like it at foreign countries or in the beautiful Ardennes. 
This year they had an active but relaxing holiday with Miki in France and Italy! We're sure that Miki really has the best time hiking in the mountains, or just relaxing at his stake-out. 
Of course Miki loves to get the extra attention and to get spoiled during these precious moments with his sweet bosses and he also loves the attention he gets from other people!!

We'd like to thank Martin and Natacha for the great updates we receive and especially for them taking such loving care of 'our' sweet and gorgeous boy Miki!!
