Yes, Dog Mushing can be a humbling experience. Just when you think you know what you are doing, the mushing gods smack you in the back of your head & bring you back to reality! With the three days of training, each day had a new challenge. However, it was when we ran the second team on the third day that proved the most challenging! We have had this week 5 of our females in heat & 2 just out. Of coarse this makes the males a little randy. Well while we were changing a couple of dogs position in the team, Cupid shoot his arrow & the two leader,Willy & Angel, decided to breed! As an experienced musher, I should have known better than to run a male next to a female in heat! However, I have normally been able to prevent breeding's by keeping a close eye on the leaders & with a verbal command when stopped prevent breeding's . This time with the distraction of changing the position of the two dogs in the team, Willy literally jumped on the opportunity! After 3/4 of an hour delay & a change of leaders, we continued the training run. The results is the possibility of Christmas Puppies & discovering another leader candidate!
Yes, some times you just have to laugh at Mother Natures little jokes!
We also took the opportunity to visit with Indy & Bella's Puppies who are now 5 weeks old. They will be coming here in another two weeks.
The weather this week has been cold, warm, & wet!
Until next week........
