Happy 16th Grammy
// October 15th, 2009 // Comments Off // GossipIt is always better to celebrate the goldon oldies before
they die, so today I will mention Grammy, as she is 16
years old today.
Grem, Gremlin, Ra Ra, or in fits of exasperation – you senile old
cow – came to us as an 8 week old pup, on breeding terms and to make
up a 4 dog racing team. She [...]
Downstairs
// August 17th, 2009 // Comments Off // PuppiesThe pups have come downstairs for the first time to meet the big dogs. They are in a puppy pen with Mobo, and Mobs is being an extremely protective Mum. First they met Juno, Toni & Grammy.

Firsts
// August 12th, 2009 // Comments Off // PuppiesAs ever with pups life is a series of firsts.
This week they have had their first taste of real food. We have let them have a try of chicken wings and also mince. At this age they are just interested in something in their mouth and it is a case of letting them have food [...]
Bournemouth
// August 10th, 2009 // Comments Off // ShowingFor the second Monday in a row we had a wet day out at a Champ Show as the annual trip to Bournemouth took place. I had only entered Indy & Julie Baldwin had an entry of 68 for her second appointment. We got a third in PG, although Julie and I were nearly crying [...]
Puppy Worming
// August 6th, 2009 // Comments Off // PuppiesThe pups were wormed on Tuesday morning, with strawberry flavour drontal. They weigh between 1.5kg (grey girl) and just under 2kg (white girl) Pups faces are so confused when you syringe in the wormer and the blow pretty pink bubbles and dribble pink down their fronts. They all coped well with it though. Nail cutting [...]
Our affix was registered in 1995 and we chose it as it related to the Sport we so love in this Country. We will only ever breed on a limited scale but we do have an interesting gameplan that involves mixing, in our opinion, the best racing line available in the UK with our bitches to produce dogs you can have immense fun with at home, on the trail or in the show ring.
We chose Zero bloodlines in order to bring a working attitude that makes running the dogs very satisfying. Whilst not known for their Show ability, we felt that by choosing well constructed Males and introducing careful line breeding we would come up with standard fitting Siberians. Judging by our success listed within the individual dogs profiles we would like to think we are on track.
All of the Siberians at Rigrunner have their Kennel Club Stud Book Numbers, including the youngest Indy, no easy feat, but one that we are justifiably proud of. Apart from those now retired they are all worked seriously in harness and we do enjoy racing them, whenever possible, in the Winter.
