my lot tend to let rip for breakfast and tea, but the rest of the time they tend to play quietly. when they do let rip i love it but it is hard to think, 11 sibes screaming and howling is amazing.

Looked on your website. Loved the video!

Was that you on the rig? If it was were you gee'ing to the left? Couldn't quite hear very well. Once again, I LOVED that video.

I loved that video too -great to see dogs doing what they were bred for.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

hi ian
if you mean the video on the home page that is me on the rig, the other videos with the dogs running will also be me on the rig.
if you heard the word gee, then i would be turning right, haw is for left. do you work yours.

hi doganjo
i love to see dogs doing what they were bred for, not the fighting breads though of course.
we are lucky here as from our back window we can see a copse, so in shooting season we are able to watch how well behaved the labs are and how good they are at retrieving, some of them are fantastic. it does make you laugh though when they have a young over enthusiastic dog running riot amongst them.

ps. thanks for the nice comments about the video

Hiya mate, I run mine, rather than work......I run my Malamute with a Leonberger........The Leo is lead dog too (don't ask  ;D ;D)

I just thought that I heard gee when turning left on the homepage video, I know haw is left so thought you had a 'cunning plan'  :)

If you compete, our Mal breeder is Lorraine LeFerve (Kegluneq). She is fairly loud at the events  ;D ;D so you may know of her.
Nice to see them in harness!

hi ian
yes i know lorraine, havent seen her for some time though, we tend to race with a different organisation (BSHRA)

i may have made a mistake on one of the corners but its unlikely as the dogs would have gone the wrong way, i will have to listen to the video more closely again

Was probably just me kn, don't worry about it.

Anyway, going back to topic  ;D I would suggest that Mals and Huskies' are probably not good as smallholding dogs................unless you use 'em to get you around the place in which case, you would probably have a large holding  :)
