Silvia born June  8, 1961 in Cologne Lindenthal. She is a happy mother of three children and grandmother of for sweet grandchildren. 

She lives together with her family on an old cosy farm together with totally 44 sleddogs.

She completely spell - bound by the sport of driving with sleddogs and the close bonds that ties her to the dogs....

In fact in the beginning she just wanted to have a dog that could acompany her on his bicycle trips. Because of troubles with her back, her doctor recommended that she had to quit playing handball and suggested that she should get occupied with some other sport. And then silvia got the dog Chan, an Sib.Husky.

Thanks to an friend, silvia participated in her first sleddog race in 1985.

Since then she is not been able to stay away from this sport. Beside her family, driving and tending of the dogs has become a major part of her life.

What makes me so facinated by this....?

Dogsled driving is very exhausting - and at the same time wonderful and magic.

Silvia had absolutely no idea of how humans and animals grow together trough common experiences in the nature.

Today Silvia live by the words of George Bernard Shaw:

But you say: Why......? - But I dream and say: Why not......?
