Our sled dogs are a part of our adventures offering. They are an inherent part of our SJG family.

It is important to us, that our dogs feel well taken care of and relaxed in their common routines, that they are healthy, and can live out their fascinating, breed specific behaviors. Happy, healthy dogs are the foundation to offer our guests an unforgettable, sustainable adventure with sleddogs.

This includes a.o., that

• our kennel and the dog houses comply with the requirements of the Swedish Jordsbruksverket (Administrative Board of Agriculture and Animals)

• our kennel underlies regular controls of the authority to re-confirm resp. upon changes in the law amend any new requirements respectively

• the dogs are taken care of every single day and when there is a medical issue, that they receive the respective care/help of a vet

• the dog’s resting spots, sleeping rooms and the outdoor enclosures are cleaned, maintained and repaired on a regular base

• the dogs have social contact and amounts of petting and cuddling regularly

• we feed them with high quality food consisting of a premium dry food enriched with fresh meat. This is to ensure that our dogs remain healthy and strong. .

We work with our sled dogs in different sports. They love to follow on snoeshoe hikes or to pull us on cross-country skis (Skijöring) through Europe’s last wilderness. Of course, the younger dogs also pull a sled. These adventures take place in winter.

​

In summer our sled dogs enjoy a long break with a lot of relaxing, petting, grooming, sun and mud bathing, running and playing in the free-running enclosure. Given the temperatures, they follow on short hikes or run in front of the mountainbike/fatbike.

​

Our guests often fall in love with our dogs and would adopt one straight on.​ Although we can perfectly understand the desire, we highly recommend to wisely consider all the pros, cons and challenges, sharing your life with a Nordic sled dog include. The decision should never be made without common sense.
