Description
Hi! We, Ingrid and Thomas emigrated from Austria to Lapland in 2015. In 2019 we moved to our dream place. Here we now live with our 17 sled dogs - Scandinavian hounds - on a 1ha property in the middle of nature. Our dogs are our hobby, we have a racing team and a few backup "players". Our dogs are the most important thing and everyone who comes to us should love dogs! The longer you can stay the better. We prefer someone who, if mutually compatible, can stay for the entire summer season.
Our 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 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!
In autumn and winter we 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, we need help with repairs, with building things, in the household and in the garden.
We like to go into the forest that is around our house, have barbecues by the river, like to fish with our boat and do everything that can be done here in nature.
We only have room for one person! Only women are welcome! There are no exceptions either. Applications in German are preferred. You cannot bring your own dogs.

Hallo! Wir, Ingrid und Thomas sind 2015 von Österreich nach Lappland ausgewandert. 2019 sind wir an unseren Traumplatz übersiedelt. Hier leben wir nun mit unseren 17 Schlittenhunde - skandinavian hounds - auf einem 1ha großen Grundstück mitten in der Natur. Unsere Hunde sind unser Hobby, wir haben ein Rennteam und ein paar Ersatz"spieler". Unsere Hunde sind das wichtigste und Jede/r der/die zu uns kommt sollte Hunde lieben! Je länger du bleiben kannst umso besser. Wir bevorzugen jemanden, der falls es für beide Seiten passt, die gsamte Sommersaison bleiben kann.
Unsere Wohngegend ist sehr schneesicher. Hier kann man im Winter wunderbar Schneeschuhwandern, Langlaufen, mit Glück auch Nordlichter sehen. Im Sommer bieten sich Ausflüge in den Wald zum Blaubeeren, Preiselbeeren und Pilze sammeln an. Ganz in der Nähe sind mehrere Seen wo man wunderbar fischen und paddeln kann . Wer hier her kommt, kommt mitten in die Natur, ein Paradies für Naturliebhaber!
Im Herbst und Winter brauchen wir Hilfe mit den Hunden. Das heißt Füttern, trainieren, Hütten reparieren, Schnee aus den Zwingern schaufeln, allgemeine Schneeräumung. Im Sommer und Herbst brauchen wir neben der Hundeversorgung Hilfe bei Reparaturen, bei baudingen, im Haushalt und Garten.
Wir gehen gerne in den Wald, der rund um unser Haus ist, grillen am Fluss, Fischen gerne mit unserem Boot und machen gerne alles was man hier in der Natur tun kann.
Wir haben nur Platz für eine Person! Es sind auch ausschliesslich Frauen willkommen! Da gibt es auch keine Ausnahmen. Deutschsprachige Bewerbungen werden bevorzugt. Es können keine eigenen Hunde mit gebracht werden.
