Cimmaron Sled Dogs

These dogs have completely taken over our lives and we feel very fortunate to have them.  We have had so much fun running with them over the last 14 years and have met some wonderful friends along the way.

Scandinavian Hound
Male - dob: 20.09.2002

One of the first Scandinavian Hounds we bought from Peter Caroll, Spike is one of Keith's main leaders.  He brings a competitive spirit to the team which always helps to kick the speed up a notch or two!  A gentle giant.

This season, Spike will probably run in a 2 dog team with either Sol or Bud.

Monty is a full brother to Spike and shows the same competitiveness within the team.  Monty is an excellent leader and is the hardest working dog we have ever owned.  

At 7 years old, he will still be in Keith's team this season.

Scandinavian Hound
Male - dob: 4.02.2004

Half brother to Spike and Monty (same mother), Bud is a big "daftie" round about the house, but takes his running very seriously.  A powerful team dog although he will run up lead if he has to.

Male - dob: 4.02.2004

Brother to Bud, Sol is the joker of the pack.  A beautifully built dog with an excellent running gait.   Like his brother, he is also happier somewhere at the back of the team but takes a turn up lead now and again.  He is father to Mac and Tosh. 

Due to a slight injury, Sol will probably run with Spike in a 2 dog team this season.

Male - dob: 28.06.2006

Mac is son to Sol and Gotti (from Sha & Damien Depindray's kennel in France).  He is a handsome boy who, until recently, was very shy round about the kennel.  However, he has now found his way and is as bolshy as the rest of the boys now. 

He ran lead with Monty in Keith's team last season and we are hoping he may do the same this year with either Tosh or Remey.

Scandinavian Hound
Male - dob: 28.06.2006 - 8.03.2010

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to have Tosh pts after the vets discovered he had a diaphragmatic hernia, which he would be unlikely to recover from if operated on.  A wonderful working dog and a lovely natured boy.  He will be sorely missed by us and his brother Mac. 

Scandinavian Hound
Male - dob: 21.07.2006

Our only "pointy eared" hound (thanks to Assam), Stitch is one of the most friendly and loving dogs we own.  So much so, that he spends the vast majority of his life in the house with us!  He is an excellent runner, with boundless energy.

Stitch spent the last couple of seasons running wheel with Bud, but Keith has been training him at lead and he has been great up front with Monty this season.

Scandinavian Hound
Female - dob: 28.07.2007

Remey is our "princess" and the only female amongst the Scandinavian Hounds.  She has the sweetest nature and also spends a lot of time in the house with us and Stitch.  She is a natural born runner and took to harness work easily. 

Remey has run in various team positions, but she is being trained up front at the moment. It will be next season before she is leading at races though, probably with Stitch or Mac.

Cumbrian Trailhound
Male - dob: June 1998

Bruce was rescued from the Cumbrian Trailhound Rescue Centre at 18 months old and was our first introduction to running a "non-nordic" breed.  He surpassed all our expectations and has been a great member of the team, helping to train both Monty and Spike as puppies.

Pedigree unknown

Cumbrian Trailhound
Female - dob: 21.02.2001

We got Prue as a puppy and she has turned out to be a wonderful sled dog.  She is happy to run up lead or at wheel and is a solid little worker.

Pedigree unknown

Cumbrian Trailhound
Female - dob: 1.04.2001

Phoebe also came to us as a puppy.  What she lacks in size, she makes up for in speed and attitude (its amazing how powerful she is for such a tiny dog).  Phoebe is a leader and doesn't like being anywhere else in the team.

Pedigree unknown

Laikas Orly
Siberian Husky
Female - dob: 23.06.1998

Orly has been an amazing dog over the years.  We can truthfully say in her hey day she was one of the best working Sibes in the country, helping Keith to win over 30 1st places.  She is now a house dog and is loving every minute of being in front of the fire, although is still running in Mandie's team with the 3 Trailhounds.

Wyphursts Buffy
Siberian Husky
Female - dob: 9.02.2000

Buffy is a lovely girl with a good working attitude.  She was in Keith's team that won 2 4-dog and 2 3-dog championships and made such a tremendous contribution.  She now lives in the house alongside Orly.

Her puppies are also doing well in the teams in which they run.

Alascotia's Kaliska
Siberian Husky
Female - dob: 8.12.1996

Our old girl, who is now blind and a bit demented some days.  She still loves to chase the youngsters round the yard and give them a piece of her mind.  A steady worker in her day, she is still the best gee/haw dog we've had.
