2011.03.28 - eyes testing

Despite we've decided long time ago that our greenland dogs would have eyes tested (apart from hips) we made first testings only now. For a start we've chosen our olderst ones, Shantu and Sayuk. Both are having eyes clear and received the appropriate certificate :-)
In May we plan to test Blackie and Viggo.

2011.03.12 - summing up the season

This season turned out to be the most difficult in our sporting history. We've had a lot of logistic, organizing and transporting problems (almost everything was breaking down). We were even affected by one dog "contusion" :-( A particle blocked the salivary duct under Shantu's tongue and a cyst grew. Fortunately it was easy to cure quickly (although Shantu had to be eliminated from sporting participation for some time). All this in consequence left an imprint on our mental strenght and finances. With great gladness we finished this season after the last important race for us which was Polish Championship.

Only dogs untroubled by anything were giving everything from themselves and were achieving medals after medals :-) Sometimes I'm thinking that at the end of the season it was them that Waldek gained the power from for hard work on trails. And what did they achive ? In brief: Championship of Austria in C2 & D2, AlpenCup in C2 & D2, WSA European Championship in C2, FISTC World Championship in C2 and Championship of Poland in C2 & D2 :-) More details in the section Sport.

And I cannot forget about the biggest surprise of this season - Sleipnir went far beyond our expectation ! We still cannot get out from the amazement how wonderful dog he proved himself ! Not only he seems to be untiring and always ready for hard work but also he's the same fast as Shantu. But what's most important - born (and I mean: literally) to be leader. I have no idea to whom/what yield my thanks - God ? Fate ? Destiny ? - that such a dog was born in our kennel...



2011.01.16 - article in Hungarian magazine

Winter came very early ...and after that went bad :/ Races are being cancelled due to lack of snow, so far we've been on one race on snow...
In Hungarian magazine "Unique Life" there was published an article about sleddog sport ilustrated with my pictures. Also our greenland dogs are there :-) I must add that the editor has chosen the pictures herself. Below links to the scans:

But in fact I wanted to inform you with pleasure that in December magazine of "Przyjaciel Pies" ...our greenland dogs were hosted :-) They illustrated very interesting and educative article about their breed, written by Żaneta Żmuda-Kozina.
I sincerely recommend the reading !

2010.11.07 - planned litter for spring 2011

Trainings are in progress although the November's temperatures are much too warm... The youth is getting first schooling and beginning to display their value. And Viggo, who had no opportunity to spread his wings, is impressing us now :-)
There, Viggo...:-) We plan a litter for spring 2011 after him and our wonderful "torpedo" and leader. So if you are experienced and active (sportly at best) musher you are welcome to contact us.

2010.03.05 - "Number 1"

Both Waldemar and me like the band Manowar very much and so it happened that in this season we've heard the song "Number 1" for the first time. I had pins and needles... Is that so they were really singing about our "Black Devils" ? Nevertheless the song was resounding in our ears both during the ttrainings as well as on World Championships. ...And led to win !
The song lyrics:

"We belong to the world we belong to the wind
We are the spirit of the competition's end
Turning hours into days burning muscles feel the pain
The heart and soul of discipline my friends

We are sending you a challenge it's very clear
We came to win that is why we are here
Demanding to be tested, tested by the best
Not to be forgotten like all the rest

The time has come all the training done
The muscle and the blood will come to pay

Let the game begin hear the starting gun
Play from the heart today we will overcome
When the game is over all the counting's done
We were born to win number 1

Today is the day all the training through
We have come for the number one not the number two
Let the contest begin play hard fight to win
Immortality victory and fame

The time has come all the training done
The muscle and the blood will come to pay

Let the game begin hear the starting gun
Play from the heart today we will overcome
When the game is over all the counting's done
We were born to win number 1

Today is the day all the training through
We have come for the number one not the number two
Let the contest begin play hard fight to win
Immortality victory and fame

Let the game begin hear the starting gun
Play from the heart today we will overcome
When the game is over all the counting's done
We were born to win number 1"

Below you can get the feel of the song itself thanks to the YouTube application:



2010.03.01 - WSA World Championship achieved !

Waldemar together with our two greenland dogs, Sayuk and Shantu, has won next great title ! Nordic Storm Team again didn't fall short of expectations and in past weekend won the World Championship in category D2 in Oberwiesenthal, Germany Due to thawing snow the trail was really exhausting, also the competitors breezed through, so the triumph makes us happy even more.

We want to give our thanks to Sponsor PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. for the support and trust confided in us


2010.02.04 - sponsoring contract

Today Waldemar signed the individual contract with PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A., which became his Official and Strategic Sponsor. We hope this fact above others will make a contribution to increase in popularity of sleddog sport in Poland.

2009.09.21 - uzupełnione podstrony

So finally I have all sections completed... Today I wrote out Dog shows and a couple of week ago Sport.

2009.07.21 - another greenland dog from Norway has come !

Yes, 'cause we lacked of sixth greenland dog... ;-) Besides there was a great occasion with the transport - he was delivered by Katinka Mossin into our house and her visit was also a nice event :-)
Twinkling Nova's Amaroq (we gave him a pet name Viggo) comes from the kennel Twinkling Nova, Karen Velle Roraas.
More about Viggo you'll find in the section Our dogs.



2009.07.07 - puppies are 6 weeks old now

The little-ones become bigger and bigger, they develop great on the Royal Canin 1st Age Milk and Starter. The live already on their pen with Blackie since few days. Theoretically they should remain in house much longer (according to out vets) but it's not so obvious with greenland dogs ! Firstly they were on pen every few hours each day but they were so miserable after returning home (so Blackie was) that finally we took them there for good. And they are very happy (so Blackie is) !
Saga's weight is 4,7 kg and Sleipnir's 5,2 kg.

2009.06.01 - fight for life

The remaining two puppies reacted the same... :-( Yet with a delay. Our vet warned us about this threath so we were alert. In spite of driving to veterinary clinic on first signal of temperature rising up our fight for their lifes lasted almost 24 hours. The puppies received the biggest possible batch of medicines as well as dreep feeding yet the temperature was still rising up so the whole night we had to reduce it with cold compresses on their little bodies. We were also giving them a water and 20-percent glucose from syringe. It was dawn when we dared to feel a little ray of hope - the temperature stabilized, the little-ones got calm and showed the will of suck. But two more days had to pass before we felt comfortable.
The reason ? In spite of voiding all afterbirths Blackie had the infection of fertile tract - her womb didn't clear properly. Although it didn't impact in any way on healthy and strong bitch it was enought to poison the milk with deadly toxines.
And so I became a full-time doggy mummy...

2009.05.31 - fifth day of puppies' life

Our Sol, yesterday so full of life, today passed away... It all happened so quickly... She started to suffer pain in late morning, it looks that from the tummy. She became noisy, very restless, was "wandering" a lot and moreover, she got high fever. Vet gave her four injections, we were giving her water to drink in order she didn't get dehydration from that fever and panting. With time she started to calm, we hoped that sleep and medicines would strengthen her ...whereas she had been already leaving us. In afternoon we had to bid farewell to her, reanimation didn't help, the little-one simply gave up, she passed away during sleep. Sol, our sweetest, we will always remember You...
Mummy with Slepinir and Saga were examined as well and all looks fine with them. We pray it will stay like this...

2009.05.26 - the birth !

Blackie has chosen the Mother's Day on her Great Day :-)
More information in the section Our puppies.




2009.04.23 - Blackie is pregnant :-)

Today we confirmed with USG that Blackie's pregnant :-) There were three "Little Blackies" visible, the other might have been playing "hide-an-seek", who knows ;-)


2009.03.27 - the launch of the kennel website

Today the website of our kennel was launched. It's still much to do of course. For the moment there is only basic information and main draft but hopefully the website will be constantly developing.
