TAKODA JOINS THE TEAM! I’m SO excited to welcome Takoda (Sioux, meaning friend to everyone) to the team. Takoda has been a pacer, his racing name was If The Mood Suits, and after he retired from racing he was used to teach students how to tack up and drive a sulky. I'm looking forward to teaching Takoda to be ridden, as he's never carried anyone on his back. A huge thank you to the lovely Jenni Lewis for him, and also to the wonderful Dr Christine Gee for his vet check and X-ray. Takoda’s sire’s racing name was Grinfromeartoear which sums me up totally, could not be happier with him!!

How many dog people can relate to this? 😂

Today is Be A Happy Sarplaninac Day!

So many of us have completely unrealistic expectations of our dogs in regards to training. It takes time, patience and is ongoing. You never stop teaching your dog. It’s a shame more people who took on dogs and puppies during Covid chose not to be aware of this.
