May 2012. The puppies are growing up and if the size of the feet are anything to go by, they will have the good bone of their parents! We have female puppies available from this litter, please contact us for details.

April 8th 2012. Today the pack was joined by 8 new babies! Amaqqut's first litter! Details on the litter page.

April 1st 2012. Womble manages to exceed expectations and equal his personal best of 2200lbs to win the 81-100lbs class and secure 1st place in the championship, his 2nd time winning this trophy! On the flip side, today saw us retire Kodi from competitive pulling. He too has won first place in the championship twice, once in the 81-100lbs class and again in the 101lbs+ class. He loves pulling, so we will allow him to continue in a fun capacity at lower weights for as long as he wants to.

March 18th 2012. Today Womble ran 10.5 miles in single lead to start his Working Lead Dog title. Kizzy ran in wheel alongside Alanna's Lucie to start their Working Team Dog titles. I'd like to say they are tired....

March 17th 2012. At last! Womble wins his class at the weight pull and gains his final leg for the WWPDX title.

March 10th 2012. Womble wins 2nd place in Limit Dog at CRUFTS 2012 out of 17 dogs.

January 28th 2012. We took a trip to Huddersfield & District Canine Society open show with Womble who won first place in the open class, then went on to win Best of Breed and Working Group 1.

January 15th 2012. First weight pull of the new year and Womble won the 81-100lbs class with a pull of 2100lbs. Unfortunately he once again decided to keep us waiting for that final leg towards his WWPDX! There's always next time apparently!!!

December/January 2012. Joan spent the New Year with Marina from Cedarcreek Kennels travelling to Poland to collect Marina's new puppy Austin. We managed to spend time with good friend Kirsten Lindner of Tshajka Kennels in Germany on the way and then joined Jana Wisniewska of Sausimayok Kennels in Poland and her friends for the New Year celebrations.

December 2011. A weekend at Allerton saw the weight pull on the Saturday followed by a backpack for Womble and his pal Lucie and Porsche, gaining them their first WPD legs. Thanks to Jo and Alanna for taking them!

November 2011. Two weight pulls this month and all the dogs are getting back into the swing of things Womble winning the 81-100lbs class on the 27th. Joan also went into education mode and passed both the hands on breed assessment for the Japanese Akita Inu and the Alaskan Malamute (having put it off for about 10 years!)

October 2011. The weight pull season finally starts! Let's hope we can get that final leg on Womble's excellent title. October also saw Joan jet off to the United States for the AMCA Nationals. A whole week of Malamutes, showing, agility, obedience, rally and weight pulling. Joan also took part in the Judge's education seminar and hands on workshop. Thanks to Jen Effler and George Leveille, Andrea and Matt Sautbine and many others for such a great welcome.

May 2011. At the Birmingham National Dog Show, Womble's kids Logan, Xhanxi and Quinn all qualified for Crufts 2012. Womble starts back in the show ring hoping to get those other two CCs! Kodi manages a 4th place in the Veteran class of the AMCUK open show and also took part in the first Working Certificated Dog class, the trophy for which is named after Kodi and Scooby. Kodi will now be retired from the show ring.

April 16th 2011. The weight pull season finishes and despite us missing a weight pull which pretty much finished us in the Championship this year, Kodi still managed to pick up a trophy for 3rd place in the 100lbs+ class. Womble came 4th in the 81-100lbs class but excelled himself this season by getting a personal best of 2200lbs and finishing with four WWPDX legs and leaving himself just one more to get. Porsche came 8th in her class out of 23 despite missing 2 pulls this season.

September 2010. After what has seemed like an incredibly long summer, Porsche & Nemo have had a successful mating and we hope to welcome puppies into the world around the 24th November!

May 21st 2010. Womble attended the Scottish Kennel Club Championship Show where the breed specialist judge Roger Cruden awarded him Best Dog and his first CC! Not a bad way of celebrating his 4th birthday! To top it off, his litter sister Sika won Best Bitch and her 2nd CC. We are so proud of both of them.

April 18th 2010. An excellent end of season weight pull. Kodi matched his personal best of 2000lbs to come 2nd in the 100lbs+ class, Womble decided to muck about and came 5th in the 81-100lbs class with 1600lbs and Porsche pulled a personal best of 1500lbs to come 2nd in the 61-80lbs class. This was all followed by an excellent BBQ and presentation of trophies. Until next season....

April 4th 2010. Womble and Porsche complete the final leg of their Working Team dog titles, running 11 miles including a hop across to an island! Kodi completed his 3rd leg so he's not far behind. Thanks to Lou for taking the terrible two out and braving the water! and to Jonathan for teaming Kodi with Indie for the runs.

April 3rd 2010. The final Championship weight pull of the season and Kodi manages a personal best of 2000lbs! Just 4lbs lighter and it would have given him an excellent leg - less biscuits next year! Womble managed a 3rd place pulling 1700lbs and Porsche pulled a respectable 1200lbs. This means that in the Allerton Park Weightpull Chamionships 09/10, Kodi has come 2nd in the 100lbs+ class and Womble has come 2nd in the 81-100lbs class. We're so proud of the boys and of course our little Princess!

March 20th/21st 2010. At the penultimate weight pull of the season, Kodi wins the 100lbs+ class with a pull of 1800lbs and Womble comes 3rd in the 81-100lbs class pulling 1700lbs beaten only on time. Porsche managed 1000lbs before deciding she didn't like the rain! On Sunday Womble and Porsche ran another 10.5 miles to get their 3rd leg for the WTD title and Kodi ran with Indie to get his 2nd.

February 13th/14th 2010. The weight pull saw Porsche pull a personal best of 1300lbs, Womble pull 1500lbs before doing his trick of spinning in the chute and getting tangled and Kodi pulling 1800lbs (and two inches short of 1900lbs!). Sunday saw Womble and Porsche complete the second 10.5 miles towards their WTD titles and Kodi ran with his new friend Indie to gain his first leg.

January 17th 2010. First weight pull of the year and Womble won his class, then Kodi showed he is finally back on form and went on to win his class and pull the highest weight of the day - 1800lbs.
