Description
Hi! I am Thomas, emigrated from Austria to Lapland in 2015. In 2019 I moved to my dream place. Here I live with my 13 sled dogs - Scandinavian hounds - on a 1ha property in the middle of nature.
I´m expecting puppies around 25th September, so part od the job will be taking care of them and play with them.
Training the racing team will start end of august.
My dogs are my hobby, I have a racing team of 10 and 3 retired sleddogs. My dogs are the most important thing and everyone who comes here should love dogs! The longer you can stay the better.
In summer there are excursions into the forest to collect blueberries, cranberries and mushrooms. There are several lakes nearby where you can fish and paddle. Whoever comes here comes into the middle of nature, a paradise for nature lovers! Northern lights season will start middle of august.
My residential area is very snow reliable. In winter you can go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and, if you're lucky, see the Northern Lights here.
In autumn and winter I need help with the dogs. That means feeding, training, repairing huts, shoveling snow out of the kennels, general snow removal. In summer and autumn, in addition to looking after the dogs, I need help with repairs, with building things, in the household and in the garden.
I like to go into the forest that is around our house, have barbecues by the river, like to ride the boat (canoe) and do everything that can be done here in nature.
I only have one room for one person! Strictly non smoker! You can not bring your own dogs.

He was really hard working and very helpful with all construction projects
and helped everywhere needed!
He is a nice and interesting person and we wish him all the best for his future.
Julius is always welcome at our home!
They are really nice and there was always good food.
The work I had to do was easy for me and the dogs were really nice.
I had a great time with them and wish them all the best.
Thanks for the nice time.
