-One is proud to race with dogs like these. says John Øyvind Selmer with spesial though to barely two year old Tira.
Selmer is the only musher who does not own a single dog. Instead he races dogs from other kennels to train and test them for other races. And yet again it is Tunheim's dogs who are being tested.
-My goal is to get them all across the finish line. It helps them grow. Young dogs wants to learn a lot and when they reach the finish line they will develope into stars, says Selmer with stary eyes.
Tira is a lead dog from Brennodden. She has been at the front the whole race and is a very reflected dog considering that she has not yet turned two years old.
