it started with one
One became two. Then four. Now eight…
Cosmo was the first. Toward the end of school, we decided to get Sjosti. “What a fun training partner he’ll be!” Well, after learning how to ski and learning how to ski with a dog, we tried our hand a sledding with our two pups. This is fun, but what if it went faster?
So our pack of two became a pack of four. Skade and Yrsa were a handful as puppies, but they’ve turned out to be great sleddogs. At this point, friends and family want to visit us just to try sledding with the dogs. We thought, what the heck, four doesn’t seem to difficult to manage, what if we add a few more?
We discovered the joy in sharing our experience with others, and started giving tours to others. First friends of friends, then total strangers. Seeing our guests’ eyes light up and laugh like a carefree kid while playing and driving with us and our dogs is why we do this.
Our dogs have always been our family members, which is why we run such a small kennel. They get as much attention, love, and care as any family pet. Our dogs just happen to love adventures out in nature as much as we do.
Meet the pack
Cosmo
The OG. Cosmo has been with us since before the beginning. He’s shy around new people but loves scrinches once he gets to know you. He has the strongest will, and if you don’t let him out he’ll do it himself.
Sjosti
The second in command. His personality is bigger than he is - and he’s our biggest dog. Full of life, lots to say, and no sense of personal space. If there’s an inch of space for him to sit next to you, he’ll make sure he fits.
Skade
The princess, but also the drama queen. She’s beautiful and she knows it. She gets away with everything because she knows her puppy eyes will make you forgive her in a second. She talks almost as much as Sjosti, and loves to climb fences as much as she loves to pull.
Yrsa
The wild one. Yrsa knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it. Popcorn buried in a couch cushion? She’ll spend hours trying to dig it out. Luckily, what she wants most of all is to run fast and far. She will look for hugs after a long run, though.
DELTA
The shy one. While everyone jumps up on the couch for a movie, she might sit near the door. She loves to play and bother you at night by nibbling on your toe.
IGOR
The big giant. He does not know how big he is. Too big for his own good. Shy and clumsy but loves cuddles as soon as you get to know him. He will trip over his own legs.
LIMA
A bouncy ball. When food or any of us come up to her, she jumps up and down and up and down. Amongst her siblings, she’s the one in charge. Loves to bark as well.
Cosima
A diva with a lot of attitude. Keeps the order and makes sure everyone behaves. Likes to greet you with her favorite toys. Prefers to eat her fries dipped with cheese.
