  Description

  We are an adult couple with adult children and grandchildren. Anne works in a hospital Trust and Trond is partially retired. We do competitive dog sledding sports and winter expeditions with our Alaska huskies. In the summer we train the dogs when it is cold enough, specially the leaders, we cycle, take walkes and we care for and train the puppies and young ones. We wish to host one or two young people who are interested in outdoors activities with sled dogs, specially in the summer. We do fun trips and some dog sledding competitions during the winter. Our workawayers will only help with competition dogs, puppies and young ones, not with any tasks relating to tours with paying customers.
  Our dogs are very social, and in the summer they need and love to do things that are fun together with us. We live with the dogs close by, and have all gear needed - like sleds, skis, carts,, ATV, vehicles etc. We have cabins both in the wood and in the mountain where it is possible to have great hikes. We prefer people who can stay about a month, since it takes a little while to get to know the dogs and the routines.
