Last time they were running after my snowmobile 😍. I miss it so much.
They are looking so patient in this photo. And is that black puppy Xia? Or is it a W-puppy amidst the Vs??? 🤔
First group out on the infamous Kangosjärvi. This time no overflow but overblown trail. Yentna and Ginny in lead. Guide Alina

Meine Güte, ich erinnere mich noch an meine erste Überquerung des Kangosjärvo. Hatte mich so etwas von verfahren und wurde per Handy gelotst. Passt alle auf euch auf und geniesst die Saison.
Last chance that we all are together - the most international crew ever: Finland, Denmark, Germany, France, Switzerland, Slowakia, Austria, Kenya, Greece. Only Kyra missing who will join us soon.

Vor 17 Jahren war ich einer von euch. Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz.
We wish you all a happy and healthy saison 🤩 Special thanks to Marc for the fantastic trip in February 23🙏👍
We start the "real" season with Whiskey on the rocks. Outside minus 24 and some real cold spots with minus 30 and below

Wir möchten auch...!! Unsere 38 Nordische Schlittenhunde warten sehnsüchtigst auf kalte Temperaturen und auf den Winter mit Schnee. bei uns Regnet es seit Tagen wie aus Kübeln. Alles matschig und grusig
I remember 2016 as one of my favorites of my life…. 😍
Wie wunderschön die Landwirtschaft ist aber natürlich sind die Hunde der Star auf dem Foto.

A palm day to run a team on the 22 km. Being on the brack all time to keep them in a nice trott. Some fresh snow helps to keep them slower than they like.

When not working with the dogs, our people get the chance to visit the reindeerherders having their reindeers in the fence.

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.

By now the water is cold enough, that even rivers start to freeze nicely.

The princess tower🫅👸
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🍩🥳
