Veteran Charlie gets back in harness to win Gold
|
Bethan and Danny Fitzgerald had stopped racing their ‘oldie’ sled dogs but felt that early retirement just walking on the beach and in the forest didn’t suit them so Danny decided to treat them to a 6 dog race at the New Year’s race at Thetford.
Bethan told CSJ: “They ran like 3 year olds and won Gold! Charlie ran like a dream pulling the bike and was just pipped into second place by a younger dog, so the next weekend Danny raced Charlie again on the bike at the prestigious BSSF British Championships round one and two race.
"The great combination brought home a Gold and were the second fastest team of the whole weekend."
Veterinary Surgeon Beth went on: “Charlie will be 7 years old this year and thankfully is still looking amazing. Looking after our dogs is our priority especially as most are at senior status this year.
"A lifetime of good nutrition and training helps the longevity of the dog, especially for the larger breeds. A fine balance of the right amount of energy in their complete diet is key for growth and maintenance. Thanks CSJ for providing the best nutrition for our dogs.”
