Start of the winterseason!

Hello, hello everyone 😊 We are so happy here in Saija´s dogkennel!! We have started our Winterseason, and we are excited about it! We are proud to present this video to you:

It feels so good to get to real action again. We have enjoyed of our summer: cosy walking trips with Saija´s guests and staff, hugs and pettings. But, of course, we enjoy more of the winter because we love to run in the snow! It's our nature, and we are born to pull the sled.


In the summer time we had some construction works in the dogkennel: Asko and Timo built new fences for us, and a new, 4th starting point for trips.You can see the new starting point in the video, when we start from the kennel.

Looking forward to see you all in the winter💓

End of the winter season

That´s the way, how it´s looked like here in our Kennel in April... empty sledges without us and mushers... It´s time to check the sledges, and put them to a storage to wait for a next winter.
That also mean, that our holiday starts and we will have time to enjoy of the sun and free time :-)

And we, Frosty and Lily, have time to play together and time to relax with our mother, Isa.
For us it will be a first summer, and there will many new things for us. Grass, blue water in the lake, green leaves in the trees will be experience for us, if we believe, what our mother has said to us. Looking forward of that!

Here you can see one of the most famous position in the summer time... laying on the roof and enjoying of the warm, sunny days :-)

Happy summer for everyone!

The first time in the sledge :-)

 Sled dog news from Saija´s Kennel!

 It was snowy Wednesday 24 on February, when we, Inuvik, Bea and Beth had our first pulling in the sledge.
We were running with our mother Jessica, and she told us, how to act in the sledge. The start from the kennel started fine, we didn´t have any problem with that. Because we are running/pulling dogs, we know naturally, how to run :-)

On the lake we were able to run little bit faster, but in the first time we have to be carefully, that we don´t run too fast. Our team´s leader dogs, Susan and Alaska, noticed that we are first timers, so they kept the speed suitable for us.



We just made a short trip on the lake, but it was so funny! Now it´s good time to train for the next winter, then we are ready to make a normal short dog sledge trip (13 Km). And it´s so true, that we are born to run, we enjoy so much of it!

Greetings from Saija´s seniors!

We are appreciated by our long sleddog career. When we don´t run anymore in the sledge, we stay here in Kennel and enjoy of easy-going pension days :-)

Smawwa. 12 y

Usually we, walking dos, are over 10 years old. But we have also one "steel grandpa" here in the Kennel, Pirta, who is now 14 years old, but still running in the sledge!

 Of course, sometimes we feel a little bit blue, when younger dogs start in the mornings to safaris, and we can howl a while when other dogs leave us to the Kennel. Then we all seniors togerher can think back "old good days"... But we have so good well taken here in the Kennel, all nice guests and carers give many extra hugs, pets and snacks to us. And we love it, and we also deserve that :-)
