Good hips

Today we received a letter regarding X-rays of the hips on Bielkersmils Jatka of Birk and Bielkersmils Geist of Barusi -both grade A.

Now we have a total of 20 dogs that have grown up in the kennel with ok hips (all of which are x-rayed is free).

This fine result I feel confirm my and Håkans hypothesis  that the key to good hip status is that the dogs:

• get high quality food
• are allowed to move freely in trackless terrain as much as possible during childhood
• and that they are kept thin

Today it snowed quite abundant here in Jonsbyn so we hope it can become a sleigh ride tomorrow. Unfortunately, we currently have four females in heat so the dogs have a different focus than work so it remains to be seen how the work ethic becomes.
