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!

Successful puppy buyers

When the days are filled with work, and evenings of dog training and care of dogs  time flies and to update the site ends up not top of the priority list. Since I last wrote, some of our puppy buyers have been successful. First it was Gustaf and Madde on Polardog- show in Visseltofta . Bielkersmils offsprings showed themselves from their best side and Bielkersmils Igor of Zouroff got his first CAC and was 2nd best male and Bielkersmils Fantastic Frey of Nallo BOS, both with very good critique . Congratulations to Madde and Gustaf!

Spira

A dog's life is in my eyes always too short and sometimes far too short . 

Yesterday on the 16:th of september our beloved Spira (Svartisens Angerboda) went to sleep for good.

It is difficult to find the right words to describe the feelings of grief and loss of a dear friend.

 I know it will feel easier when it has been some time but today the tears burn when I think of the fact that I will never again hear her intense, sharp and happy bark, I will never be able to look into her wise eyes , never again rejoice and be surprised of her amazing leadership qualities that made my sledge tour from Särna to Treriksröset 2011 secure and safe through both communities snowstorm and reindeer herd, never again will I be able to enjoy her loving warmth, never again ...... so much . 

 I hope there is a heaven for dogs and I know that if it does - she has a place in it
