Darc-Brittany Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm so jealous of your equipment and team! Having a four dog team would be a dream!!! :dribble: I only sled with my one guy on a kick sled and it's soooooooo fun! I'm hoping to someday have a team of at least three dogs. Very awesome pictures, and good job! I bet if I ever raced, my dog would want to play with the dogs... hence I'd come in last, haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocspirit Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Dunc, thanks! its a long way from cramming the dogs into the back of my dad's company truck like we used to have to do! David, I'm not worried, I'm actually quite proud of our placement!!!! Sarah, these dogs belong to Bob and Kathy Kilbreath of SiberSprint Kennels. Kathy got silver in the purebred 4-dog class at IFSS World's in 2009. Kathy is focusing more on skijoring though and Bob is looking at doing mid-distance so I get to run the sprint guys Ronan ran on Bob's team with Emma, Wolfie and Thor because he's just not fast enough to keep up with the 4 boys I ran. Bob had me run the faster team cause Kathy got called into work at the last minute and I'm "younger so I still bounce if something goes wrong" LOL Darc, get in touch with some local mushers to you. Most are more than willing to help you get involved and maybe run some dogs for them. Thats what I did back when I was first starting out.

Most are more than willing to help you get involved and maybe run some dogs for them. Thats what I did back when I was first starting out. Done and done! Put a post up on kijiji a couple weeks ago :3 Most of the people were unhelpful... But there was one girl that I'm hoping to meet up with next weekend <3 She has a team of 3-4 and said that she'd love for my guy to run with them, yay! There's not many mushers here at all ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
