What has CSJ done for my dogs?

“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.”

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 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd 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!
