Racing Sled Dog Handlers

Amanda Jones

‘Lubyanka’ Siberian Huskies

Amanda has been involved in Husky racing since 1996 and was the winner of the SDAS (Sled Dog Association of Scotland) 2 Dog Championship in 2007 and also the Siberian Husky Club’s 2 Dog Class at Aviemore (the biggest sled dog event in Europe).

How it all began….

Amanda loved Huskies since she was a little girl.

She took her first Huskies – Boris and Oscar to a rally teach-in, was able to borrow a rig and harnesses, ‘had a go’ and became hooked!

“The kennel grew”

From those beginnings the kennel grew and now consists of 11 Siberian Huskies and a Bedlington Terrier.

The successes along the way...

During Amanda’s racing career she has achieved a massive 70 1st, 2nd and 3rd placings and has also won the UKSC Championship.

Which dogs were in the teams that won at Aviemore and SDAS Championship?

On both occasions the team consisted of Katya and Kodi jnr. It was Kodi jnr’s first rally season and he was only 1 year and 3 months old when winning at Aviemore!

What Amanda says about CSJ ……

“The dogs are fed CSJ CP30 which they love it is high in protein and an ideal food when they are racing, giving them LOADS of energy, they are also given Go-On! herbs which help enormously when racing on consecutive days preventing them getting cramps, this has been proved by looking at their times, often producing faster results on the 2nd day of a race.”

The poo eating has stopped!

Dear Ceri.

I am writing to say a huge thankyou!!!

Our 10month old choc lab has been a poo eater for almost the entire time we have had her (since 8wks old). We have tried everything we could think of seeking support from other owners of dogs that poo eat and vets, nutritionalists and behavouralists - and to be honest, had almost given up.

After speaking to a friend whose dog eats your food, we decided to look at your website and eventually spoke to you on the phone. We talked about our dogs (3 labs - all with different requirements) and home situation, as well as indepth diet discussions, and decided to try your advice (we had nothing to lose as it couldn't be any worse!).

I have to say, we are over the moon to be able to say IT WORKED! (in the first day!!) The poo eating has stopped and her stools have become more normal, and we can now finally begin to enjoy our gorgeous dog.

Thank you so much for treating us as individuals, and following us through a very stressful problem.

We will continue to follow your advice and will be recommending anybody with the same issues to yourselves.

If anyone is reading this and is having the same problem with a dog, dont give up. There is help out there, honest!!

Natalie
