Skijor races at the Fort Kent Outdoor Center

He was so happy to be racing again! And Shark did great, even if the distance was more than he was used to.

Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Sled Dog Race

This is cani-cross!

This was a heavily contested race and they took off fast...

Shark and Nate charged to a third place finish!

Nova hooked herself up to our friends' 'King' Endo and won the women's race!

We had so much fun splashing through all the puddles. I love this sport!!

Canicross Crew

Clifford Racing Kennel was sure well represented this weekend!

Good girl Gwen!

The 6 mile training runs went well this morning. This weekend is the first time that they have gone that far, and the distance is certainly showing which dogs are sprint dogs and which are distance runners! Yesterday our little Gwen was a frustrated point dog, so today we put her back in lead. She wasn't the least bit intimidated by her big teammate Shark, and would shoulder into him to keep him running right! Good girl Gwen! We just need to work on those water crossings...

These two are an incredible team!

They made the podium together, as you saw, but what you didn't see is that Shark was on no less than 3 teams that were on the podium last weekend! 1 Dog Scooter - 1st. 4 Dog Rig - 1st, and Canicross - 3rd female (5th overall). He is an incredible athlete, and she has done a great job getting him fit and strong.

He won a new collar!

They raced in the 1k Sprint Canicross at the Northern New England Sled Dog Fair, and clocked a smokin' time of 3 minutes flat, earning them 3rd place overall and 1st place for females. Congrats!
