Description
Hello there! We are two guys, age 48 and 58 y.o. living outside Trysil, a place called Jota, 618 masl. Together with us are a lot of really nice dogs, and a lot of wild animals outside our camp. In our surroundings there has been wolverine, lynx, wolf and bear. And of course moose, deer rabit and other species. We are aiming to create an excellent sleddog racingteam.
All our dogs are our own, the kennel is not for paid stays! Both of us work fulltime in the Municipality. Most of our sparetime is spend with our dogs and working on the property or taking the dogs out for training or recovery. Due to the number of dogs it demands good routines and passion for it. We try to live healthy by working out and eating healthy as well. We hope to get in touch with someone that could see them selves in this kind of place. We prefer workawayers that stay a longer period of time due to consistency and learning the routines and get to know each of the dogs. If you are interested, but not sure, please just send us a message, and we will figure it out!
Best regards
Jo & Kenneth

Help
Daily dogcaring, feeding, socializing puppies, all that comes along running a dog kennel including training. The total number of dogs is about 50. 25 dogs are born this spring and need to learn discipline and good behaviour. Everything in order to prepare them to be a sleddog. All in a secure way and with training before handing over responsibilty. If you like doing practical things, we are sure you can find something that suits you.
