Frosty Feshie

Aviemore the journey
// January 21st, 2011 // Comments Off // Holidays, WorkSo in a much calmer state than last year we set off on time into the darkness. Travel lodge was fine – although the nightmare was surreal, and we met up at the Penrith little chef for breakfast and started the holiday in style with the keen’s, the sandfords’s and mr givens. The redwoods, well [...]
Forest Of Dean

Sherwood Pines
// January 10th, 2011 // Comments Off // SHCGB, WorkingWell what a wet and then cold weekend we had. We took the teams up to Sherwood for the SHCGB rally, run by the ever loveable Mr Givens & Sue lol.

Happy New Year
// January 3rd, 2011 // Comments Off // Van, WorkingWell 2011 starts as no doubt the season will mean to continue, with the Rigrunners having van problems. Admitedly this time a slight Keith hitch, but 3 days of hard training at Bracknell took place each morning – in the car! We now have taking 9 dogs out down to a fine art, we have [...]
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.
