Esquimaux Ticket to Ride.

Our Siberian Huskies are shown and worked in harness. They love to do the job they were bred for. Pete and the dogs really enjoy the training and going to rallies. The Siberian Husky is a very special breed, some people might find this breed hard to manage, but we love them to bits. There is nothing we would change. They are born to run.

Our Huskies have been very succesful in the ring, we are very proud of all our dogs.

Nicky & Angel

We love the Chinese Crested breed, these may be small dogs, but they think they are big. We have fun and are very succesful in showing our Cresteds, and they even love to have a go at lure racing. This is a fascinating breed, there is never a dull moment when you own a Crested.

Our Kids

We have been very lucky, as our kids just love dogs. They have shown a keen interest in junior showmanship, with Tilly and Jude qualifying for the JHA semi finals at Richmond, both being placed. They all enjoy going to rallies and are keen to help water and look after the dogs before and after races.

Tilly is joining her father in racing the dogs, and is a Junior Musher, competeing in the youngest age group.
