2006

In the club-championship Olav started with 4 dogs. 8 teams joined this class  and Olav ended up as number 2. He got led-dog-certificate on the team, and Terra Polar's Lesto Tramp  got the title Norwegian Sled-dog champion. The other dogs in the team were Terra Polar's Oktroa Akisu, Terra Polar's Oktroa Aika og Terra Polar's Prima Perma.

The Polardog race.

This year Olav  joined this race for the 20th time. When we got through our suggestion to close this race for other breeds than Grenlanddogs, samojeds and malamutes, we also wanted  this race to be only for 1, 2 and 4 dogs teams. We did not succeed in this, it was deceided that also teams with 6 dogs could join the race. Later it was also opened for open class ( max 12 dogs).

During the years Olav had joined many different classes in the Polardog-race, but never with  4 dogs. Therefor he would  do it this year. He raced with the same 4 malamutes as in the club-championship. He was the only musher with 4 dogs, but he had several teams with 6 and 8 dogs to compete with. The dogs worked very well, and they ended  with the total 4th best time .

Tramp, Akisu, Perma and Aika are all large, strongly built malamutes, and are all very good types as freighting dogs.                                   Tramp; 72 cm and ca 50 kg, Akisu 70 cm and ca 45 kg, Perma 63 cm and ca 36 kg, Aika 62 cm and  ca 35 kg.                                      They are all very  hardworking, and with a team like this it is not necessary to put in more dogs in the team.

2005

This winter we have had a lack of snow, and therefore problems in giving  the dogs enough kilometers in front of the slede. Olav has also had an injure in his arm, and this has caused big problems. Our team has joined only one race this winter ; the Polardog-rase over 100 kilometers.  Olav started in this rase for the 19th time. They ended up as number 4 in the class for 6 dogs.
