Our 12 Dogs

Kessler (above) and Ali (below) are brothers and named after boxers, because Jesper loves the sport. We got them from Jesper's brother Jan (follow Dorthe's blog here), and they have their first season this winter. Especially Kessler is turning into a skilled sledge dog, while Ali is somewhat timid still.
This is a girl fight! Nalangi is teaching her daughter Donna a lesson - even though Donna is almost twice as big and heavy as her morther.

Good buddies are Qillaq and Chupi (the black one), and they have been with us all along are are excellent in front of the sledge:

Nanu is one of the young ones still, but he's testing his powers and are not rarely contesting the ranks of the senior dogs.

Bilik seems to get into fights way out of his league all the time - with a broken nose and bloody ears to show for it:
Ths boss of them all is Vavaq (the dark one) and Simba is the offspring between Bilik and Nalangi.

Mother and son. Salik (the black one) is from November 2007 and it growing fast. His mother is Amaroq, and she lets him eat all the food we give them, so we have to be extra carefull that she gets her share.
I love the dogs and almost consider them family!
