Sled Dog Races "Burunduko Cup '16" | Video + Photos

Bogdan & Invi | Dream Team

First races 2016 in LT “Burunduko Cup” were organised by “Top Dogz” club. Big thanks to them for a very nice event with 88 starts.

We’ve enjoyed being in the forest surrounded by beautiful dogs and great people.

Bogdan and Invi (Callidus Invictum UPE | 3 years) were third at DCM category!

Very happy and for Ugnius & Utu (Baltia Utu UPE | 4.5 years) who took the second place at DCM category with a very great time result! Congratulations, guys!
They are together on this sport for 4 years already!

Was so great to have support team. Our friends came as support team to be at the Start and Finish lines. Friends are everywhere friends!

Invi gets over exited just seeing sled-dog harness. When he goes at the start line, something very wild comes up. He can’t wait those seconds and goes crazy. Invi is not choleric or hyper type dog, he gets calm instantly if it’s needed. But at the time he is into something, he lives for the moment “here and now” 100%. So much love and enjoy his temperament.

This is video of Bogdan & Invi Start + Finish.
Viktorija, thank you very much for filming this video!

I was not doing a reportage this time, just snap-shooting around me and capturing start and finish moments with Bogdan & Invi.
