Majava a nice female from Sibiria did not feel good and did not eat yesterday. So we had an emergency call for the vet and Joanne and Mercy went in the evening to the vet. She had developed a pyometra and had been operated late in the evening. By now she is feeling much better. Thanks to Joanne and Mercy ... See MoreSee Less

After a lot of sleddog- and guiding theory the dinner prepared by chef George is welcomed by everyone. In few days the crew will be complete as also the staff for the Huskyvillage will be complete. As usual we are a very international crew: Finland, Canada, Germany, Austria, France, Slovakia, Netherlands, Nepal, Switzerland, Philippines and Kenya - long way to Lapland 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning from Lapland.

Still warm - yes, 3 degrees are warm for us - but temperatures are supposed to go in the negative numbers next week. The water in lakes and rivers is already cool so the freeze up should be good.

Homage for our old dogs. They have done so much work and given so much love and have a right to live a happy life. Between 20 to 30 % of the dogs in a kennel are normally retired - if you keep them and treat them well. So easy to know, how dogs are treated at their places. Treat them well and they will live a long life. ... See MoreSee Less

From top clockwise: Nansen, our superdog. Doing 5000 - 7000 km every year and just retired finally at 12 years old. Voice born 2013, just retired. Ussuri born 2013, just retired. Victory born 2008. One of our 4 "super old(ies)" Uando born 2013, just retired and brother of Ussuri, Ulvang, Uppea, Unari, Urengoi, Usko and Urson who also retired after last season as 11 years old.

We were so happy to see Emmi when we came in 2022... We knew her from our first trip to Äkäskero in 2011...

I remember Kimo who I met 2005 and had a really funny way of howling 😄 And then this beauty, whose name I don't recall

By now also the Z-litter (Cheetah/Quake) like to explore the outside of their box. Will take time to present all of them as they are 9 (!). Father Quake is our perpetum mobile - does not know that after few hundred kilometers he should be tired and calm down. Cheetah, out of Marley is a perfect mother. ... See MoreSee Less
