After two days of summer-like temperatures, the snow pack really started to melt out. Here is a short video of spring training with Abby. I’ve also started to work Pemi in the foundations for IPO, and Sirius is starting nosework. http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9mEgncAHw0

Skiing at 80 degrees! Kiersten Lippmann
Enjoying skiing in shorts with this crazy summer-like warmth. The mountain trails still have about 2 to 3 feet of cement-like corn snow, and the skiing was quite good. With all the melt, streams are very high, and on Tuesdays’ ski, one of the bridges had been washed out on the way back. The moose suffer…
Malinois power! Skijoring with Sirius the malinois. Kiersten Lippmann
Sirius, Abby’s son, is one of the most powerful, fastest dogs I, Kiersten Lippmann, have ever had the pleasure of skijoring behind. This big boy can really pull, and is eager to run fast and to please me. I started him out skijoring this year, and have been pleasantly surprised with his natural drives to…
Chasing Snowballs
Over a foot of fresh snow blanketed the hills Friday night and into Saturday. An April Fool’s Day gift. The dogs enjoyed chasing snowballs, and resting on the sun-dappled snow drifts in the back yard. I less than enjoyed the backbreaking work of shoveling the deck and driveway, but the quiet and peace of a…
Night Before April Fools Storm
Almost a foot of snow is destined to cover the still snowy mountains and hills today and into tomorrow evening. The mali-family enjoys the snow, but I am ready for spring and green leaves. Pemi and Sirius love running together. I think they will make a nice skijor team. Below, is a another action shot…
Buns in the oven- New Hampshire Malinois du Chocorua
For a couple years I’ve been planning another litter out of my incredible malinois girl, Abby, and today was the start of that journey. Rou Ivarus, a direct import malinois from Serbia was my choice stud. His lines mix beautifully with Abby’s, he has a balanced temperament suitable for work and family, he is social…
Juggling paws
A playing with a stick in the bright sunshine. Maple weekend, and what a nice day for a game of fetch.
Malinois family (circa 2014)
Abby and her sweet pups, 2012. Each puppy is special and has their own unique personality.
Leggy lil Pemi
Pemi is growing in leaps and bounds. Very fast and athletic pup. It was very cold and windy on our hike, 17 but felt like it was below zero.
March Storm
The nor’easter came a blowing in, bringing with it about 16 inches of dense, blowing snow. It was all storm on Tuesday, followed by some incredible bright sunshine, distilled on the higher peaks by windblown powder. I can’t say the snow is super welcome right now, as I was just getting used to packed trails…
