Bielkersmils Artemisia of Kartman was awarded the Working samoyed dog of 2013 for her results in racing and the following five dogs all were dogs from Bielkersmils kennel.  

Bielkersmils Artemisia of Kartman Working samoyed of year 2012

We were especially happy that Bielkersmils Artemisia of Kartman was awarded Working Samoyed of 2012 since we believe she is the most successful working Samoyed in long distance. She went mostly alone in the lead as Håkan participated and completed Femundrace 400km(248,6miles) in year 2010 and in the lead a couple of weeks later as Håkan won the Polardistance 300km(186,4miles) Nordic style against Alaskan Malamutes, Greenland dogs and Siberian Huskies. She was in the lead for about 1800km ( 1118miles) as Håkan and I went for our expedition from Särna to Treriksröset and as Håkan and a sledge team finished a 32km (18,64miles) race in less than 2 hours (which is probably the shortest time for a Samoyed team ever in this distance).

Vildmarksrace 19-20 january 2013

Two weeks ago Håkan participated in the Vildmarksrace 2X60km with twelve of our dogs. He was quite satisfied with the dogs since even though there were five females in heat in the team, the dogs worked well. Now we are hoping for the weather to be cooler and for some more snow. This weekend we will go to Lekvattnet for some tests and races and in the following weekend we will go to Furudal for the annual samoyed meeting to participate in the show, some tests and one race.

I believe the dogs were more interested in the photographer than passing the finish line

Busy time on the kennel


Now all puppies sold. Hero has moved to Lotta, Lars and the samoyedgirls Lexi and Leika where we think he will thrive just fine.
During All Saints and the days before we had a visit from France. Jerome his wife Caroline, their daughter Clelia and their samoyed dogs and the weekend before Beat and his father from Schweiz were here and picked up Flinka. We trained the dogs and went for a long trip which we ended by a lake where we grilled some sausages.
Two weeks ago we had a puppy meeting. Unfortunately, only Lotta and Lars could come. We had a very nice time and went training with the dogs with both kickbike, ATV and our threewheeled bike both long and shor distances. On Saturday, we went for a long ride of about 45km with the the dogs. We stopped and grilled before Håkan took over the dogs and drove home while Lotta, Lars and I took our cars.

Many thanks to all visitors for the great company!

Male puppy for sale

We have one male puppy for sale.
Hero was born on the 17/8-12. He is an energetic little boy who likes to play and to be cuddled. He moved to Linus and Camilla but they realized that they couldn't give him the home they think he deserves so he moved back to the kennel. If you are interested please give us a call (telephonenumber +46700405267) or send and e-mail to bielkersmils@gmail.com.





On monday the female from H-litter, Flinka,  moved to Beat and RoseMarie in Schweiz and we wish them good luck with their new family member.
