It's been quite a while since I last made a post here on Hive with my personal profile. Life has kept me quite busy in recent years, but now I feel that the time has come to embark on this adventure again with a new goal: to introduce you to the fascinating world of sled dogs.
My name is Nic, and after graduating in Biology, I decided to move with my partner to a rural area in northern Italy. Here, we decided to create a small farm. We take care of a lots of things: chickens, goats, saffron, bees... But above all, sled dogs. In fact, the primary focus of our farm is the breeding of Alaskan Malamutes and Canadian Eskimo Dogs, a sadly endangered breed. It's a somewhat unusual line of work, we're well aware of that, but it brings endless satisfaction.
Even though we are breeders, all of our dogs are first and foremost members of our extended family, inseparable friends with whom we have chosen to share our everyday lives. It's a demanding life that requires many sacrifices... But the emotions they evoke when they dash through the snow at full speed are truly priceless.
I decided to start writing on HIVE again because this year, for the first time, our sled team will participate in two world championships, one on snow and one on land. It seemed like a great opportunity to introduce you to this unique world that may seem quite distant from the blockchain.
Moreover, many people believe that sleddog is a cruel sport that forces dogs to endure great hardship. In reality, as I'll show you in the upcoming posts, this is what they live for. They are thrilled every time we head out to run, and for them, there is nothing more beautiful and rewarding than this.
In the upcoming posts, I'd like to introduce you first and foremost to these two beautiful breeds that we raise with great passion, and also to the individual members of our team – an exceptional group of dogs known for their intelligence and power. Additionally, I'll take you along throughout the upcoming sled dog season, which will begin in just over two weeks. I'll share day by day how a team of dogs prepares for such an event.
See you soon! Never stop mushing!

Hey @lovesniper @indayclara, thanks! I'm more than happy to share my old account... @spaghettiscience. Was writing there during university about science, and posted a couple of articles also during the pandemic. Was a pretty succesful blog, but since now the focus is totally different I just prefer to start again from scraps.
