When does breed matter?

I usually say breed doesn't matter. Mostly that's so that the non typical breeds for dog powered sports don't miss out on an opportunity to try something new!

But breed does matter. Never assume that you will be able to train out some of the core behaviors that make up working breeds. Good training can do a lot, don't get me wrong.

Sometimes a dog needs to do the things it was bred for to feel truly satisfied. Blaze is a border collie. He loves sledding and running. He's a leader and picked up his commands in no time. Class act all around.

We started to see that Blaze was hesitant to come out running. But get him out and hooked up and he would be jumping, barking and excited to go.

Because Blaze is a good boy, and has been a client forever, I decided to let him run beside teams sometimes.

He loves sledding.

But he loves barking his fool head off telling the entire team how fast to run and which direction to run WAYYYYY more.

He's a border collie.

We are apparently his sheep 🐑. He is happy. I need to remember to bring my earplugs.

Sometimes pairing dogs isn't about size or looks.

Astro doesn't need size, he makes up for it with pure Aussie vigor.

Good runs depend highly on good matching, both the pairs running together and the makeup of the entire team 💪🐾

Every year I'm optimistic that hunters will act in accordance with the regulations...

But here I am, reminding hunters that it is indeed their responsibility to check the land ownership in advance. There are multiple tools for this, including the city of Timmins interactive maps (within the city limits), or the crown land use policy Atlas.

Our trails sit within a very small area of quite a few private parcels - surrounded by lots of crown land. It is very easy to hunt in the area without finding yourself on our property.

The dogs took it in stride, even if it meant a very slow run following an SUV trying to back up out of the road

Today was a lot!

We saw rain, snow, and hail!

Sun, cloud, and total doom skies.

It was calm, until gale force winds attacked.

The dogs have reiterated quite loudly that I'm the issue when it comes to damp & cold. And that's okay, because I'm part of the team too!

For those that feed Inukshuk Professional Dog Food - another option to buy locally! I'm super happy that Spoiled Rawtn will be bringing in this great food. I purchase this for my own dogs and have been selling bags here and there - but have struggled with the space and capital required to keep all the formulas in stock for you!

🐾 INUKSHUK IS COMING — HERE’S WHAT WE’RE BRINGING IN! 🇨🇦

After our announcement that Inukshuk Professional Dog Food is coming to Spoiled Rawt’n, we wanted to give you a closer look at the three formulas we’ve chosen to start with — and help you figure out which one may be the best fit for your dog!

We’ll be bringing in:

⭐ INUKSHUK 26/16
26% Protein • 16% Fat • Approx. 472 kcal/cup
A great everyday formula for dogs with moderate energy needs.

🐶 Great for:
• Everyday family dogs
• Moderately active dogs
• Puppies — including large breed puppies
• Seniors
• Pregnant & lactating dogs
• Dogs that maintain their weight easily

This is an All Life Stages formula and a great starting point for many dogs. It is chicken-based and provides plenty of nutrition without jumping into the higher-fat performance formulas.

🌊 MARINE 26/16
26% Protein • 16% Fat • Approx. 474 kcal/cup
Similar energy level to the regular 26/16 — but with a completely different protein profile!
🐟 Made with 100% ocean-sourced animal proteins, including salmon, herring and whitefish.

🚫 No chicken
🚫 No corn
🚫 No wheat
🚫 No soy

🐶 Great for:
• Dogs with sensitivities to chicken or certain common ingredients
• Dogs with sensitive skin or digestion
• Puppies & growing dogs
• Seniors
• Everyday and moderately active dogs

Marine 26/16 is also an All Life Stages formula, making it a really exciting option for customers looking for a fish-based food without needing the higher calories of a performance diet.

🔥 MARINE 30/25
30% Protein • 25% Fat • Approx. 580 kcal/cup
This one steps things up! Marine 30/25 is a high-energy adult formula designed for dogs that simply need MORE from their food.

🐶 Great for:
• Very active adult dogs
• Working & sporting dogs
• Hunting dogs
• Dogs exercising for extended periods
• Dogs that struggle to maintain weight
• Dogs with higher calorie requirements
• Active dogs that also benefit from the

Marine ingredient profile
The higher protein supports muscle maintenance and recovery, while the increased fat provides significantly more energy in every cup.

And we have another announcement… 🎉

These cuties (and others) will be at PetSmart today (Saturday) between noon and 2pm.

I've been working with Summit and Juno recently to see whether they were ready for a public event like AdoptJoy. They both passed their public spaces test recently and will be making their event debut!

Joshua is a super cute pup who is currently being fostered. He's doing so well in a home space, learning the ways of the crate, house training, and mastering "sit".

So if you know of someone looking to add to their family, or maybe they want to chat about volunteering or donations, or just drop by to say hi while picking up some treats for your current crew - I'll be there with Timmins and District Humane Society

These two Nordic breeds got the first run this morning to make sure they don't overheat. Temperature affects all dogs differently, but it's pretty safe to say that malamutes and samoyeds are sporting a lot of extra insulation.

What can make running difficult in the fall makes it easy in the winter - exactly what these two were originally built for!

Looking good Willow and Fairy 👌
