Not much training going on.. We have snow a foot of it all at once in a blizzard, Had to make a trip to Seppala Kennels in Manitoba to pick up Beringa of Seppala Born: 19 December 2003. she has been Bred to Orlov of Seppala.

Berry is a proven mother of one litter just last year, The Seppala kennels K litter of 5 pups and was described as "a conscientious little mother."
We have High hopes for berry being pregnant with what will be our first litter of Seppala Siberian Sleddogs.


This photo shows Berry relaxing in the chair over Shaman of Seppala another Seppala Siberian Sleddog we brought home, (The green ear is from a fresh ear tattoo) He is Just a year old and as yet not broken to harness, as soon as he settles in we can get him started.. Shelly has taken to this boy and wants to work with him as much as possible.
Seems to me I have seen old photos of Leonhard Seppala standing on a boat with dogs that look like this boy, will have to look into that........

Going to change the blog post content a bit (Thus the blog title change BTW seppaladog.com is also a website we are setting up) Going to be less training detail and more just general commentary on the training... keeping a more formal spread sheet and detailed log for performance proving and evaluation with those details so will not duplicate here.
Going to start blogging a bit more on the background and specifics on what were about, Our involvement with The Original Seppala Siberian Sleddog Evolving breed, the International Seppala Association and the Working Canine Association of Canada.
