By: Rochelle Byiers If you are seeking an ambassador for the world of dog harness sports you need look no further than Tamara Harvey-Coli. Tamara encourages everyone to be involved and has helped promote the sport to all varieties of dogs and their owners. By mentoring urban mushers as they learn to run their dogs behind bicycles, scoot- ers, skis and sleds she opens up the world of dog sports to those who would not normally have had the opportunity. This not only helps everyone to become involved but brings with it an understanding of the mushing world, and then in turn more support. When I first met Tamara 4 years ago I had been involved in dog sports for a mere 8 years and had no idea that she had been immersed in sled dogs all her life. Most likely I offered up advice the day we ran dogs together yet Tamara made me feel her equal that day. Incredibly humble, friendly and hon- est, you would not at first realize you were in the company with a hard driven top placing sprint mush- er. Tamara was born to Jackie and Jim Harvey in Alberta Canada and directly into the world of dog sled- ding. It is said that she was standing on the runners of a sled with a one dog team before she was even walking, and won her first race between the ages of 2 and 3. At 5 she won the Kid and Mutt in Ovando Montana and I would venture to say a natural born ‘musher’ was beginning to make waves. Although the rules were tough in the Harvey household they helped to instill the drive and passion in Tamara to care for a team of her own. It was expected that if you were to race a team you had to train and take care of your own dogs, and even at 10 your job was to run dogs 3 time a week. By 13, Tamara, her mom and sister, were traveling and racing the Alberta and Saskatchewan circuit. Jackie was the mushing equivalent of a hockey mom traveling from Rocky Mountain House to Canmore and Meadow Lake to Prince Albert. Dad, Jim, was busy running, successfully in the top 5, his own team 8 further North and South. Tamara’s confidence ran high as a teenager winning most of the races that she entered. Even when Tamara took time away from the ‘mushing world’ to start a family in the late 90’s dogs con- tinued to be part of her life as she turned her attention to breeding and showing Boxers. However the adrenaline filled world of sled dogs would draw Tamara back and just over a decade later she was sprinting into first place at all the races she attended her first year back.The following years showed similar successes as Tamara has not placed less than second at any of her winter events. Her knowledge regarding the care and training of her dogs is exceptional and shows in her placement at all of the races and in the health of her team. Her care for the dogs takes on a holistic approach in which natural foods and supplements are used rather than purchased chemicals. As well the dogs routinely visit a chiropractor with essential oils being used to massage her athletes. Tamara believes that balance is key. By keeping on top of the front end with good nutrition, rest and hydration you catch things before they become a problem. With 8 dogs currently in the household she is a long way off in numbers from what she grew up with. However with limited space she is pretty picky with the dogs who do join her team. Tamara’s dogs are long legged beauties with a Eurohound appearance, and just by looking at them you know they are fast. She tends to look for an Alaskan mix with hounds, liking the Alaskans for distance and their ability to go faster, longer, and having a better recovery. Tamara and her team are quickly becoming the one to watch for and will be giving it their all when they head to the GCI Open North American Championships in Alaska this March. Although racing dogs behind a sled is her passion, and she prefers the snow and sled over the metal scooters and rigs, Tamara did compete in the Worlds Dryland events in Bristol Quebec October 2018 in the 2 dog scooter and 4 dog cart classes. Asked what she likes most about running dogs her response was that she loves the bond that she has gained with each of her dogs while watching the pure enjoyment of each one doing what they Photo By: Mike Forhan love most. Seeing them develop each season from lazy dog to pure extreme athlete running as the perfect team in the quiet of her surroundings as they effortlessly pull the sled on snow. The thrill of how it pushes her to be a better dog owner, more in tune to both their health and hers. With a strong support system from her parents who still follow their daughter to each race and a son who makes a fantastic dog handler Tamara is here to continue to make waves in the sprint world. The dogs get into your blood, whether you have only recently started training and running a team or you were born into the life, it becomes an addic- tion. The adrenaline and deep history of the sport along with the bonding and love for your dogs nev- er leaves you no matter how far you stray. [END] 9 10 11 12 By: Rochelle Byiers In the world of dog harness sports if you were to sit down and speak with the owners about what techniques they use to train and raise their dogs nutrition inevitably comes to the forefront of the con- versation. They know there is a science about what goes into these amazing canine athletes and they are always searching for products that will give their dogs that competitive edge.

    BRITISH VETERINARY ASSOCIATION / KENNEL CLUB HIP DYSPLASIA SCHEME Breed Specific Statistics – Data collected 1st November 1999 to 31st October 2014 Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of a responsible breeding programme, and it is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hip scores around and ideally below the breed median score, depending on the level of HD in the breed. It is also recommended that hip scores of parents, grandparents and siblings are considered (available for K.C. registered dogs via the Health Test Result finder on the Kennel Club’s online health tool Mate Select – www.mateselect.org.uk). For further advice on the interpretation and use of hip scores see www.bva.co.uk/chs The breed median score is the score of the ‘average’ dog in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have better and worse scores).
