Hello everyone.

Hi. Training has been going great. Dogs are looking good ! Now that they are in their second year of life and training it isn't hard to see the difference in the dog. I think I took that for granted in my own racing years. They are just twice the dog in the second year of training. I told Rachel and Ben that last year and they were very careful with the dogs and how hard they pushed the dogs. Now this year they are jumping the mileage we add to the runs very fast. Last year it just seemed really hard to put miles on the dogs. It is true that when you add miles to young dogs it takes time to do. You really have to add slowly. The dogs could jump up to eight miles easy and look really good doing so.
Never have we had teams of dogs like we have this year. So nice to work with, such happy dogs, really really good temperament and fast like we never ever had. Rachel ran her team of eight males yesterday and slowing them down to under 18 mph was a challenge for Rachel. That is what we want in our dog teams.
We have more sponsors to mention in this blog Grandma and Grandpa Kinvig have helped Rachel again this year. Also Susie Rogan and Hans Gatt have helped Rachel again. So thanks to them and remember this is directly helping Rachel getting to races this season. After all this is what the whole point is. To get her to the races. Thanks so much.
Back out to train. today.
