By now the males are already loosing their antlers. Females and castrated males keep their antlers during the winter which gives them a higher position in group.

Every kennel has one of these in their free run area for the dogs to take a rest from all the playing and running when they are out of their cages. In hotter periods the steps are used for some sunbathing😎 but as soon as the rain starts appearing it provides a nice shelter🌧

As the summer in southern Europe is reaching new temperature records, the summer in Finland is cooling down 🌧 Instead of lying in the sun or finding the shade, our dogs are resuming their donut positions for warmth. This gives us some funny looks, side eyes and the 4 in a row donut bingo🍩🥳
