Towards the dog sprezenim

Our paths are different. They do all the cardinal points. These were my two trips but something similar. In the north of Finland and the Czech Republic in the south-west I met Nordic dogs. As in Sirk in Horazdovice can meet masseur, who are part of the family's dogs. So I have for you the snow crystals, in which images are reflected from Finland and pieces talking with Martin Kotisem.

White plains

Front leading a dog by the other in sestisprezi unmistakably reproduces zavatou footprint across frozen lakes. In sharp chilling wind is blowing just the Arctic Circle, you gradually freezes smile on lips. Oddly, the smile on the contrary, the secrets of the soul and diffuses the light modrobile as magical Northern Lights. For your remaining air-conditioning, automation, systematization, activation, execution, updating and other crap our civilization. This is just the way the dogs and you. Your spirit and body are in themselves the same instincts as your dogs. Just curious layer prekryla everything you during the last centuries, man has created for their convenience. Comfort, which now elegantly and pleasantly degenerates and kills. Suddenly you hear themselves as R phrases - heaaa, hee! Arrive,survive. The celebration of the spirit, which still can survive here, in the harsh climate of Lapland. Or anywhere where you can find even more piece of nature, which can go on a sleigh with dog sprezenim.

In the beginning was the word - dog

I started thirteen years ago, before the dogs. I am originally Plzenak. I went to live here, do Horazdovice. I said that I want a dog. So we took the dogs atlas, I said husky appearance, dychla to romance me know. Officially, the Siberian Husky breed appoint. The verbatim translation is rough husky, hoarse. Husky words are generally used for towing dogs. Alaskan Husky - so they called them in the north. Breeds recognized by the international association of four - Siberian Husky, Alaska malamute, Samojed, Greenland dog. We have English mountain dog - but not approved.Too bad they are skilled dogs. I started with one female Siberian huskyho. She always wanted to run and we get harness. We found a lady that is strength. It invited us to practice - it was a training holiday, where we slept in the tee pee - beauty. Then we have acquired one, and when we are priprahli, so I was given. It's contagious! When a man, moreover, some more soutezivyPak it to nabalovalo gradually. First I have to take from the perspective of athletes - I always sports. I had the dogs a little like sports equipment, if I say unattractive. But it is clear that the relationship was already there then. People with them sziv. If I were Indian, I would say that they are my brothers.

We are a one family - with children, a woman.It 's way of life. It is not a sport for me, it moved into the plane of life philosophy. It is not a hobby. I have them every day, in all weathers. Someone plays tennis, come home and give to the rocket casing. But here it is.

I'm interested in the roots of all this. About the great Nordic race. There are rides to celebrate the human spirit, which pokoruje nature. Which survives where few survive.

Calling North

It is said that here, in the town of width, live Santa Claus. In any case, people also live here - Laponci, Finns. Population Density could be multiplied many, and many square kilometers per capita. Plus sobie and dogs. Meet all of the Nordic breeds - malamute, samojedy, husky. Often you can see skiers on the Cross-country skiing with a dog.Only in this way or in tandem this sports discipline. Snowmobile, there is the normal means of transport, as well as cross-country skiing. Norman dog is part of the family. While at work helping the reindeer herd, or it gives the san, it's pet home. In addition to the necessary consideration when parking on stake-outu or to zaprahu or skiers to intake, I have met a dog on a leash. But mainly, there are beautiful lakes frozen plains and forests, with their silent and urgent call. People can still hear - as well as dogs. And not only here in the north.

-Weather friend

Character is very husky. They are mazlickove who would be left all day rub. There are also differences of characters - as in humans. Some are timid, some are fools.I have two sibling pairs - each of them is different. The people are friendly. It starts with the aggressiveness sometimes appear on the plants. They naskladani be an area of the football field. There are five hundred, even thousand. There are under stress, a lot of dogs around, a lot of odors, I can not wait for some is reflected increased aggressiveness. Pull are genetically encoded. Run for a track next to us vybehnou Srnka, they speed up, but still running in the way of. To them, it really must go over something before the muzzle to turn. They are quite Stubborn, but you can learn to zatocili right, left, to rotate back to me on the road. When zapraha first dog should stretch rope. Commands to incorporate English. Transport is dzi, left him hou it stay. That's turbo,acceleration is zamlaskani, cats and so on. Practicing it, if for example you Srnka vybehnou somewhere. And they will respond to when it should be vysvih to a party or something. To each masseuse otherwise. Start is correctly GoU and watch! Or they say - Come on, girls. She teaches the child already. Since four months to give them their harnesses to zvykali. Puppies have to run to leave the sprezenim and they have to absorb. From those eight months, they tested a small burden, and from one year you pull. It is the individual, depending on the dog. Puppies are already selected child, sold it in litters of eight Sundays. But the talent can show up later. Also, for this breed Siberian husky monitor inherited displazie - it is shallow hole hip. This is then to jogging hurts.The appetite for the husky are the best pellets, but when the train in winter, should be added to oil, tallow, raw meat. Excellent fish - Alaska granules to give them a lot of salmon, this is the best. Granules are excellent in that the dlohy races you have to feed the dogs carry with them.

A leading dog, it is personality, which is dominant in the pack. Good leaders are born and one of the hundred. They must have a move forward, it should not be inattentive and be fine. I need a dog I do not have leadership, and rotate as you listen to their mood.

In the world began to recognize Hybrids with hunting dogs - with pointrem a hunter. These are the fastest. This is no longer strictly vrcholovej sport, there is a first result. It must be a lot of practice,to have some patience. I told my friend that was with them natrenovano for half an hour drive and went to the race, which lasted three-quarters of an hour and thought nedojedou. Nordic breeds have automatically kept in a reserve, go to fifty percent. I had the opportunity to try on their own skin when I started last year training a long line. I was wondering chudackove, I just cupitaji. You got somewhere Srnka and they speed up so that I could barely catch my intake and presented a perfect sprint to fifty meters. For them it's a life insurance policy.

Dram by the fire

Laponci have a wonderful habit. If you care about your dogs, please pack them, feed them and check the stake-out and then take care of you and myself. Although he lives in prefabricated wooden houses,but still have the traditional tents of reindeer skin. There is quite warm - and about minus ten. But in a tent with a fireplace is beautiful! Cooked reindeer meat smells wonderful. And now comes a number of appetizer - Finnish vodka to get served in naberacce poured from a kind of skin obsite field bottles. A wooden ladle, of course, you must drink at once. First, it does not build, while it would be rude. And then the laughter of carbon ocerni our fireplace. Not perhaps that kalili so that you must mark it with whom you have pripili. It's just a habit, for good luck. Maybe even a guide for us - you want to defame someone, first they let him drink

World factories dog team

He is from category two to four dogs,from four to six, from six to eight, eight to ten, and then more. Most of us, I saw fourteen dogs. For us, the landscape is clenitejsi, often run in the woods and then it is harder to cope with a long team - even turn. The short sprint races are - you run to the drought, on wheels. There it begins at 5 kilometers, about 10 kilometers. Then the middle line, midy. The length of one round is from 25 to 40 kilometers and run the race two. For a majority of us on Saturday, one on Sunday. Then as long - crossing plants. He is several stages. These are distributed to approximately from 50 to 100 kilometers. We are best known Sedivackuv long in Orlicke mountains. There was one stage to be 90 km long and will go to the camp in Poland.It is one of the most famous European races. Overall, the 333 km in five days. In the long run the place - there is a weight handicap of seven pounds on a dog. This is blurring the differences between the number of dogs. Counted in the bobsled, and survival equipment - tent, cooker, sleeping, clothes on guise. I like masseur course help us to cope with more sprezenim dogs. Run up the hill and so on. Such that someone sitting in a sleigh and whip cracking, this is just in the movies. I have sensitive nature of dogs, I just svihnul branches and zneklidni. Well, if zapraskal whip, I do not know what to do!

I take the much more long races. Sprint are more under stress. It plays a role there should be just that, a dog and wants to meet vykadit.Masseurs are the nerves - there you decide seconds. And there is more rivalry. Longer lines are closer to the nature of dogs. Run steadily and long. These are the moments when the time rozmer.To else it is the real romance. Long Nordic races measured thousands of million there and it is very dangerous, sjizdi the river or rocky slopes. Start with twelve dogs, the roll must have at least six dogs - can you unyoke when the dog hurt. The consistency with dogs there is much greater. One happened there that masseuse slept. Dogs and stop him leading a dog olizoval, to wake up. Because sleep would be even umrznout. They are really frajeri - dogs and masseurs. The best to run for eleven days!

Riding with the dogs, it is balm to the soul, a man turns off everything.Drive with them rather snilci a romantic. Brother is a psychologist and told me that kids today suffer from depression just because they lack contact with nature. The touch of the dog, or stay with him in nature - it is amazing. And riding is even more adrenaline. He was wearing noticing, as if to me after all these years is something dogs entered their spirit. Recently, we went ahead and got a dachshund. And I began to howl and bark to them, we can dobehli. I indrawn in their world, as if I was one of them.

As Vienna, granules for dogs are now commonplace and used all reasonable breeders. Pellets are fed and our friend Martin in Horazdovice. The world champion, with whom I rode on a sleigh for the Arctic Circle in Finland,fed his husky fundamentally granules, additional meals were frozen fish and other delicacies. I asked him then if the dog somehow nesidi. Smal and asked me if I know what the Canadian feed contains. Of course I did not know. And this is a bug, which, fortunately, still less does the owners of dogs. They are now under survey reads the feed composition on the packaging slight percentage of owners (about 3%, but sometimes the information you read about 18.5%). Finally, we all know Murphy's Law that the instructions for use in case you read that all the procedures fail. I tried it and tried to imagine that I would only eat one served your dog: lamb meat, maize, rice, natural,chicken fat treated vitamin E - alfatokoferolem (due to the linoleic acid and omega 6 essential fatty acid), chicken meal, maize meal (instead of wheat products - not the allergenic reaction), dried beet pulp, flaxseed (omega 3 fatty acids), chickens intended for human consumption, lecithin, dried egg, glucosamine and chondroitin, dried curd, extract from Yucca Schidigera (vitamins A, C, komlex B vitamins, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper), chelated minerals (cobalt, copper , iron, manganese and zinc). That's it. Nothing, I hope, forget. Exactly looks formulation NUTRAM Lamb and Rice with Chicken for Adult Dogs. Variant feed NUTRAM and K-9 is much more and are specified for active dogs and cats, adults, seniors,kittens, puppies, large, small, allergic - just for all, and to science. You will find there Taurin, seaweed, fish This then runs to the sleigh. You can not wonder then, that speed up when they next travel vybehne Srnka!
