Polardog show in Ånnaboda 160505

Last Thursday I was at a show in Ånnaboda with Sälka (Bivvilis Eminha of My Bluf now 11,5years old), Nallo (Kannibalnes'Karloff of Illusion who turned 12 on the the fifth-May) and Etna (Etna Bielkersmils of Pepper). 

Lars and Lotta with Bielkersmils Irja of Zouroff (aka Indra) and Bielkersmils Ice of Zouroff (aka Ice) and Nadia with Bielkersmils Moneypenny of Nallo aka Penny were also at the show. 

The sun shone from a clear blue sky and a chilly wind made the temperature comfortable for the dogs. Both Sälka and Nallo was overjoyed to come along for the "adventure" and Etna was as always happy, jumpy and affectionate. 

Sälka placed as best veteran of the opposite sex BOS critique: Nice model, typical for the breed head .Compact well feathered ears. Excellent neck, shoulder. Hold the line well. Correct tail. Well muscled. Showing no age. Fine movements from the side. Nice coat structure. Salute to the owner to keep the dog in good shape. Good luck in many years! 

Nallo was second best veteran dog Excellent, HP. Nallos criticism: Powerful masculine carrying his 12 years with flying colors. Good head. uses his ears correctly. Good neck, strong topline. Excellent bone and stands well on his legs. Good drive. Energetic all over. My salute to the owner who holds him in such good condition. 

Etna was third best bitch with R-CC. Her critique: 6 years Good condition, beautiful head. Ok ears well feathered. Good neck ok shoulders. Tight nice topline. Muscled thighs. Substance full. Slightly unbalanced forwards and backwards in the movement. 

 Congratulations to Lotta and Lars who brought home Indra's third CAC, which meant that she became Swedish champion and Ice was second best male with reserve CAC. 

Penny was 4th best bitch with Excellent. 

We also showed the four younger dogs in the Breeder's gruop which we finally won. The group then became Best in Show with the following criticism: Group of three combinationer. Very typical. Beautiful heads. Good strong toplines. Lovely bone structures. Excellent tight paws. Good pasterns. Nice low hocks. Good coat structures. My salute to the breeder.

Many thanks to Lars, Lotta and Nadia who stayed with their dogs to the finals, so that the group could be involved and thanks for the nice company

Nice hike

Now we have started the summer training. Today we went for a nice hike with Sälka, Mieto, Jotka and Mocca. We stopped at a nice spot to have our dinner. We made a small fire and on that we grilled fish while the dogs rested their backs from their bags. It was a really nice hike.

Beautiful spring day with nice visit 160409

Today we had a very nice visit from Sanna and Rasmus who are waiting for a puppy from Bielkersmils kennel. We went training with some of the samoyeds and then we went for a nice hike in the woods for about 5 hours. We stopped by a small pond and grilled some sausages after having tried to make a fire for quite some time. It was very hard since all wood was wet but at last we managed.

No start at Finnmark race 500 but Polardistance 160, 2016 instead

After about 275 miles of training the dogs were very well prepared for the challenge Finnmark race 500 (extended to 554km). The Saturday before departure Håkan took them out on a final practice round, they would sit more or less during our trip of about 170 mil to Alta so it was a good idea to let them run to get rid of extra energy. The tour was fantastic and the dogs worked like never before. It was about -10 degrees and a thin layer of snow covered the patchy icy gravel road. When I on a Sunday morning came out to the dogs, I immediately saw that Ergo was in pain. He did not put down left front paw. I squeezed and felt through the paw but also the entire leg and shoulder but he didn´t show any pain and I didn´t feet anything strange. When all the dogs had had their breakfast and were rested, I took Ergo for a more thorough investigation and soon discovered that he felt sore on the left triceps.

Since Ergo was one of the most important dogs in the team that would go Finnmark race and the team had already been weakened since Deimos because of a stretching (which he suffered when he was on the stakeout at the Vildmarks Race) had eaten Metacam and thus was in the waiting period (14 days in Norway and 28 days in Sweden), after a lot of thinking we took the heavy but, from the perspective of the dogs best, facilitating decision to refrain from driving Finnmark race. Without Ergo and Deimos, our strong wheel dogs, the race would be too tough for the dogs. We had trained the dogs 2750km running with sled or wagon, walked each dog about 20km a week with backpack from the end of March to the end of July to strengthen their back and other muscles so as the decision was taken, it felt rather inglorious just running a single race, Vildmarks Race . Since the start of Polardistans was Tuesday, Wednesday, 9th-10th March and we had taken time off from our jobs, we decided to go to Särna so that Håkan and four Samoyeds would participate in the PD160 with pulka and skiis. The start of the B-dog pulka160 was on Wednesday. Håkan started 13:52 with four eager dogs, Corona, Etna, Geist and jotka.

It was a gray day and about -5 degrees . After 9 hours and 57 minutes the reached the checkpoint after having covered a distance of 95km . There were conducted veterinary control under the obligatory rest of 10minutes and after a total stop of 13 minutes they were back on track towards finish line, 80km away.  It was a cold night, as the team was at the CP, the temperature had dropped to -19 degrees. Cold for Håkan but comfortable working temperature for the dogs. The team struggled on through the cold starry night and at 9:17 they reached the finish a little tired and furs full of frost . The final 80km run in 9h 15min and the total time in175km was 19 hrs 25 mins including mandatory rest . We could once again enjoy a first position on the PD , this time Bielkersmils team beat the second team by more than 10 hours.

This year's PD was a bit special because there were three teams with totatly 16 Samoyeds notified - all dogs from our breeding . Beat Stäger started PD 300 with pulka and four dogs but had problems with a shoulder and chose to break . Lars Jämtsved went with sledge and eight dogs PD160 six own dogs from Bielkersmils breeding and two borrowed from us , Lava and Mieto . Lars ran his first PD . He and the dogs fought well and can feel like winners - everyone who gets around the PD is in my opinion a winner! Congratulations to Lars and his team!

The BIG Challange - 554km Finnmarkslöpet 500

Monday 29th of February it's off to Alta and starting in Finnmarkrace 500 with sleigh and eight dogs. Training season has offered relatively good conditions and competition dogs have uptil now ran about 2700km. Unfortunately, Deimos has had some kind of injury and has a sore paw, he shows no lameness, but to start Finnmark with a dog in pain is not an option so it is likely that the youngster Mieto will take his place in the team. Håkan is now out running with him to see how his paw will hold. Now we keep our fingers crossed for good weather (about minus10-15 and no rain or snow) and that we all, Håkan, I and the dogs will be healthy - and of course that the dogs are really eager to run on March 5 when the race starts. Recently the Nordic samojed championship ended in Furudal.
Congratulations to Madde and Igor and Gustaf and Frey who all passed the mile in the hour .This ment that Igor and Frey were awarded DP10. BIG CONGRATS !!! We also want to congratulate Bielkersmils Fantastic Frey of Nallo "Frej" to the third place on the list for this year's show dogs in 2015! BIG CONGRATS! Finally we also want to congratulate Lars and his seven team who managed the DP60 test in Furudal. BIG CONGRATS! and Bielkersmils Ejla of Pepper "Lexie" with Lars who passed the mile in the hour with sledge and was awardedt DP10 BIG CONGRATS!
