CSJ-sponsored Vickie Pullin and her Huskies were crowned champions at the IFSS World Championships & World Masters on snow – bringing home a spectacular gold for the UK and making her dreams come true.

The event drew athletes and their dogs from all over the world on February 9-15 in Røros, Norway. 

Organised by the International Federation of Sleddog Sports (IFSS) together with Norwegian Sleddog federation (NHF) it was the first event where all On-Snow disciplines were organised together.

Making up Vickie’s World Champion winning team of Huskies were Frappi, Chino, Mac and Caramel.  She said: “We did it, team. There is nothing more special than you bond with a dog and memories we make we treasure for ever more.

“My way of life is my dogs, and I’m surrounded with so much support and team work to help make this life happen. Friends, family and sponsors who have become family … without you all none of this is possible.”

CSJ’s owners Ceri and Phil Rundle said: “Over the years we have been proud to sponsor Vickie and constantly marvel at her huge achievements in such a competitive and gruelling sport which demands peak fitness from her and her dogs.”

Ex-professional snowboarder Vickie founded her ‘Arctic Quest’ (Sleddog Experience in the UK) over 10 years ago and races her ‘Pullin Power’ race team all over the world. Her kennel has included Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Huskies, Euro Hounds, Greysters and Marley her Collie.

She added: “I enjoy this sport so much and every run is a real privilege so I must thank my amazing dogs for this special journey (real life hero’s).”
