Jeg var bombesikker på at Hilma var drektig etter trippel parring med Nikolai 29-31 juli…. Men ultralyd undersøkelsen tidlig i dag morgest viste at hun dessverre har gått «tom», så dermed blir det ikke valper hos oss denne høsten.Oppdatering 31. juli
Vi hadde nesten mista trua - men så fikk de det heldigvis til til slutt! Tre vellykede parringer på tre dager 29. juli - 31. juli (dag 11-13). Og om alt går bra blir det valper hos oss i kennel Snykovet rundt 30. september.

We have a date planned for our Hilma when she goes into heat again - hopefully real soon - and are keeping our fingers crossed for puppies this coming summer in collaboration with Madeleine Hanssen at Kennel Framover.
Hilma will be mated with Nikolai av Chi-Ka Siberians NO30307/21 (born Nov 16 2020).
Nikolai has long been a favorite of ours. He has an exciting pedigree from good racing lines and has completed Beaskadas 245 km (9/16) and Troms Quest 180 km (5/6) this season with Madeleine, resulting in two Norwegian sled dog merits (1st prices). Nikolai is an excellent sled dog, with extremely good work ethics. He is still young, but already shows that he has great talent and has been one of the most important dogs in Madeleine´s team throughout the 2022-2023 winter season. Nikolai loves speed, and chases speed better than any of the other dogs in the kennel. He is a great lead dog, rarely makes any fuss or drama, and is really easy going. He is a really uncomplicated male dog, avoiding conflicts and always at his best behaviour in the pack. Very playful. Constantly cheerful. Loves ladies. Fairly soft and low in rank. Eats well. Enjoys cantering, but switches to trot when he realizes he can't run as fast as he wants! Nikolai himself has not been eye checked, but both parents are clear on ECVO including gonioscopy. More info and photos of Nikolai can be found on the Kennel Framover webpage.
