It all started back in 1993 when my Ex-boyfriend suggested that
it would be nice to have Husky around the house! After a year of research and talking to breeders, I agreed. We decided to
go an a waiting list and waited for our new addition to arrive.
"Senna" arrived at 8 weeks old in 1994 (Cnejinkas Minstrel Lad)
a little bundle of fluff with blue eyes, just perfect! I did show him and qualified him for Crufts but never got there, due
to my Ex leaving and taking the dog with him. Phoning Jenny Manley to arrange a visit - & upon my visit, Jenny placed
a bobble hat in my arms and inside was "Kolar" she was absolutely beautiful. Born on Christmas Day 1995. Six months later
I got her a playmate "Michka" from Sandra Thompson. I showed both the girls & did reasonable well. A couple of years later
I decided to breed from "Kolar" - which I needed an "Affix" = called "ZARCHENSKI" which is made up from (ZAR - from my name
Zara) (C - from Cnejinkas) ( HEN - from part of my last name Ashenden) & (SKI - from Skimarque)
I met Lee in January 2000. He joined the mad house at Christmas
2000 when we got engaged. For two years Lee was my lackie at the races, making sure all was right, so for the season (2003
/ 2004) Lee had his own lackie, yes Me! We swapped. I was hoping that the dogs wouldn't listen to him so i could have them
back, but he did extremely well, as he won the 3 dog Championship with ABSA.
2003 - 2004 was a very busy 18 months, Not only did we organize
our very first Husky race event, which We must say thank you to "Red Mills" for their kind sponsorship for this event. I have
to say it was a lot of very hard work, but worth every minute. We were made famous for a couple of minutes on the T.V. as
the news presenter Roger Finn from "South Today" came and filmed us.
We moved house which was very stressful but the icing on the cake, was that we got married in September 2004.
From September 04 to March 05 we took a year out from racing.
We still take the dog's to the shows, and wait for the big build up to come! And we will be back out there this season for
the winter months.
In 2006 to present day were back in the racing and loving it, our boys are getting old now, but they
continue to give it their all. We have decided in 2007 to add to our kennel by bring in four new puppies. So hopefully these
will be, our new 4 dog race team. Watch this space.
On the 24th September 2007 we also added a new addition to our
home, a little boy called Kai weighing in at 7lb 7oz, now we our a family. It will be a few years until Kai is behind a rig,
we'll keep you informed of his progress.
Also in 2007 we started up "South Coast
Sleddogs"- (S.C.S) an Affiliated organization which allows us to put on an event under the ABSA banner.
