Abiti, following into his father's footsteps...

Yes, I made it! After weeks of hard training they finally decided I'm probably the one to follow into my father's (Black) footsteps!

The only problem was to find the right partner for me... At the moment they choose to give me Susan, my father's partner. But she is also not the youngest anymore so we have to see if she can keep up with my speed the whole winter :-)

And of course I still have to learn a lot before I'm about as good as my father, but at least they think I showed the right skills: I'm quiet before we start, go lay down when we have break and I'm able to keep about the same speed during the whole trip... I only have difficulties when leaving the kennel, I'm not quite sure yet when is the right moment to start. Susan always seems to wait for me and I want to wait until Susan starts... But when the guide finally strongly "advice" us to start running, we gooooo...

I also have one speciality, which I think is quite funny: When I cooled down my nose in the snow I shake my head with my mouth open. It makes a really funny sound :-)
