Our family has roots in both Finland and Sweden and we spend time in both countries with our dogs.
During the last couple of years we have spent increasingly more time at our cabin in Finland, located 300km north of the Arctic Circle in the county of Enontekio as this
his place offers a more secluded location with safer trails for training and lots of space where our Malamutes can run and play!
Our long, snowy winters and cool summers are ideal for Malamutes and we are surrounded by a vast wilderness that offers
endless opportunities during all seasons. In theory, we could reach the Arctic Ocean in a week by dog sled without crossing a single highway. Perhaps we will try this some day?
Northern Lapland is on the same latitude as Brooks Range in Alaska and we also have a similar climate. Our winter begins in October and ends in mid-May. During a long period of
the year our trails are hard packed and frozen, and the temperature below -30° centigrade - putting Malamute feet and coats to the test. While the winter is long we also have a beautiful summer with more than two months of midnight sun. During all seasons, Lapland provides an ideal environment for
polar dogs, and for anybody who enjoys exploring the great outdoors.
Our home in Finland is situated a few kilometers from the Pallas-Ounastunturi National Park which offers a friendly forest and low-mountain terrain ideal for
sledding and skijoring. In addition, our local trail system connects to the extensive cross country trail network which connects Finland
with Sweden, Norway and Russia. When it comes to opportunities for long-distance sledding, the sky is the limit!
