    <description>You will meet our lovable Siberian Huskies when you come. They are very friendly - super friendly - somebody said. They love to be patted. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We have females and males, all working style Siberians, who have ‘running in their veins.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Once in a while a litter is born to one of our females.

She has shown open field leadership qualities and has a strong appetite.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Astrid on omna koiramme kaksoisvalion &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/9/18_Kasakan_Jack_Sparrow_Nappi.html&quot;&gt;Nappi&lt;/a&gt; ja kasvattimme Vetoava Birtan jälkeläinen. Johtajakoiramme &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/6/30_Vetoava_Beata_Beata.html&quot;&gt;Vetoava Beata&lt;/a&gt; on Birtan sisko. Niinpä Astridin vetoasiat ovat kunnossa. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Astrid on nätti tyttö. Se on melko nuoresta iästään huolimatta erinomainen johtajakoira, joka toimii myös vaikeassa ‘avoimen kentän johtajan pestissä’.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

He is one of the few dogs in the team, who doesn’t seem to be much interested in wild animals. This allows us to keep him quite often unleashed.</description>

He keeps the line tight all the time and just wants to pull. Irgad has a strong character and does not want to be left as the bottommost dog in the pact hierarchy. He behaves nicely with everybody, humans or dogs and has a big, lovable, often licking big tongue:)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Irgad syntyi reippaaseen &lt;a href=&quot;../Puppies/Merkinnat/2019/3/13_Merkinta_1.html&quot;&gt;I-pentueeseemme&lt;/a&gt; 2019 alussa.

Se pitää aina liinat kireinä, koska sillä on niin vetäminen verissä. Se on uskomattoman ystävällinen. Jos on omasta suihkusta aikaa, voi käydä Irgadin luona ja sen ‘nuolemissuihku’ ei jätä ketään kylmäksi. - Irgad on korkea ja iso jässikkä.</description>

He looks and works very much like his dad, who has been competing in several long distance dog sled races. Gamot  is a very friendly guy, who doesn’t have any hunter instinct, thus we can keep him quite often off the leash. He gets excited in the beginning (like his dad) and is an awesome puller (like his dad). Quite often we have put him as our lead dog. Gamot has twice the best results  REK1 in sled dog speed competition and SA ERI from a dog show (Excellent).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He became Finnish Working Dog Champion FI KVA-REK in the autumn of 2021.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gamot syntyi 2017 hyville johtajkoirillemme &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/6/30_Moon_Runs_Cannonball_Cannon.html&quot;&gt;Cannon&lt;/a&gt; x &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/6/2_Arctic_Soul_Hera_Neva.html&quot;&gt;Neva&lt;/a&gt;.  Se on hyvin paljon isänsä Cannonin oloinen ja näköinen - täynnä muskelia. Isä on juossut paljon pitkän matkan kisoja.  Gamot on hyvin ystävällinen. Sen erikoispiirteenä on, että se on yksi niistä harvoista koiristamme, joilla ei ole riistaviettiä. Niimpä kävelyretkillämme Gamot juoksentelee yleensä lähellämme.  Se on aika innostunut ennen lähtöä (kuten isänsä) ja vetää ihan hullun lailla (kuten isänsä). Unohtamatta että se syö superreippaasti (kuten isänsä).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gamot on erinomainen johtajakoira, mistä osoituksensa se sai syksyllä 2021 Suomen Käyttövalion arvonimen. Sillä on paras tulos REK1 rekikoirien kilpailukokeesta ja JOH1 55p/60p rekikoirien käyttökokeesta. Näyttelystä sillä ERInomainen ja SA - sertin arvoinen.</description>

Nimba is a fast young male, who wants to be in the lead. He is one of our main leaders 2018-2020. In the Kuusamo mid-distance race 2019 in 12-dog-class  (2 x 42km) he was in the lead together with &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/9/18_Kasakan_Jack_Sparrow_Nappi.html&quot;&gt;Nappi&lt;/a&gt; the whole time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nimba has a nice and friendly character. He is the grandson of Kennel Sainen’s major leader Sainen Ylläs, thus has running truly in his veins. He has scored top points both in the speed test (REK1) and in the Finnish sled dog working test (REKÄ). In the fall 2021 Nimba became a Finnish Working Dog Champion (FI KVA).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nimba tuli pentuna meille Sainen kennelistä. Tämä sanakari on innokas menijä, joka on 2018-2021 yksi pääjohtajistamme. Mm. Kuusamo MD:llä 2019 johti teamia tuon 2 x 42km kisan. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nimba pitää kovasti ihmisistä. Sillä on vetäminen verissä ja rekikoirakäyttäyminen hallussa.  Käyttökokeesta Nimballa on paras johtajatulos JOH1 57/60 pistettä. Kisoista on tuloksena REK1. Syksyllä 2021 Nimbasta tuli Suomen käyttövalio FI KVA-REK.</description>

Ealas has very good genes and runs any position in a team. He has the best grade REK1 * 2 from sled dog competitions. Ealas was &lt;a href=&quot;../News/Merkinnat/2018/10/28_Arctic_Expedition_Racing_team_became_5th_in_the_European_Championships_in_Sweden.html&quot;&gt;in our team in European Championships 2018&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ealas is really friendly by nature. He is always there to ask for some patting (when he is not in the lead of the puppy team searching for interesting things to sniff and to explore in the nearby woods, of course) :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;--&lt;br/&gt;Ealas tuli joukkoomme 2017 kun johtajakoiramme &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/8/25_Moon_Runs_Tiara_Tiara.html&quot;&gt;Tiara&lt;/a&gt; ja &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/6/30_Icesmiles_Kirima_Kiri.html&quot;&gt;Kiri&lt;/a&gt; saivat pennut. Ealas on tosi ystävällinen ja aina tulee rapsutuksia hakemaan (Niin -- paitsi silloin kun se johtaa pentulaumaa lähimetsän seikkailussa, jossa etsitään mitä mielenkiintoisempia hajuja, uusia varpuja, kiinnostavia kannonkappaleita ja outoja metsän koloja :) ) &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ealas juoksee kaikkia valjakon paikkoja ja on ystävällinen. Sillä on REK1 *2  ja se oli &lt;a href=&quot;../News/Merkinnat/2018/10/28_Arctic_Expedition_Racing_team_became_5th_in_the_European_Championships_in_Sweden.html&quot;&gt;valjakossamme EM-kisoissa 2018&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

He is a bit highter than medium-sized youn male and comes with an interesting LD-racing pedigree joining Swedish, Finnish and American lines: His dad Nordvikens Tigeröga is World Champion in dog sledding from 2015 and many of his nearby ancestors have run Finnmarksløpet, Pasvik Trail, Eastpoint Open or even Iditarod and Yukon Quest. - From the beginning we fell in love with his truly friendly and modest character. His trot and gallop are beatiful to watch. He has got pulling in his veins: He was part of t&lt;a href=&quot;../News/Merkinnat/2016/10/16_Merkinta_1.html&quot;&gt;he winning team to win the best Siberian husky team-price in the Finnish dryland sprint Champtionships 2016. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nappi tuli joukkoomme syksyllä 2016. Nappi on hieman keskikokoista urosta suurempi erittäin ystävällinen ja vaatimatonkin nuori poika. Napin kaunista ravia ja laukkaa on hienoa katsella. Se on hieno vetäjä ja osallistuikin omalla panoksellaan &lt;a href=&quot;../News/Merkinnat/2016/10/16_Merkinta_1.html&quot;&gt;Jämin sulanmaan SM-kisoihin 2016, joista 8-tiimimme voiti parhan siperianhusky-valjakon palkinnon.&lt;/a&gt; Napin lähisukulaisissa yhdistyvät mielenkiintoisella tavalla Ruotsin menestyneimpiä MD ja LD-koiria (mm. isä Nordvikens Tigeröga, MM 2015, isoisä Fenrisulven Faste), USAlaista Yukon Questin ja Iditarodin juossutta  Manitou-linjaa ja suomalaisia pitkänmatkan kisakoiria (isä Pasi Ollikaisen Taiga Quest Cheetah, jolla myös hieno Polar Speed-tausta).</description>

He is always ready for pulling, is very friendly to the people and licks guests with her big tongue. She is one the favorites of the tourists visiting us. Uhta has a fine dog sled racing pedigree. Her name is according to a city in Siberia. Uhta is strong and bigger than average female.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Uhta on todellinen työjuhta, joka menee parhaiten pyöräkoirana. Se on tosi ystävällinen - ja kun saa yhtäkkiä jostain märän nuolaisun, se on useimmiten Uhtalta. Uhta on matkailijoittemme suosikki, jolla on mahtava rekikoiratausta. Uhtan nimi tulee siperialaisesta kaupungista. Uhta on normaalia isokokoisempi narttu.</description>

She knows her place in the team.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Arctic Soul Top Leader ‘Gaissa’ pitää hurjasti rapsuttelusta ja monet vieraat tykästyvät siihen. Eikä syyttä, sillä Gaissa vetää iloisesti, vaikka on hieman kevyempirakenteinen. Gaissa osaa pitää puoliaan koiratiimissä.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

He is the definite alfa-male of the pact. He is very friendly and keeps with his quiet but decisive authority the packt in peace. We have competed a lot with Kuru. Kuru is strong and big and runs well as an open field leader. We also have Kuru’s sister &lt;a href=&quot;Merkinnat/2016/6/1_Our_friendly_Siberian_huskies.html&quot;&gt;Ava&lt;/a&gt; in our team.</description>

Neva has a happy and friendly character: She listenes and understand well and is obedient. - When harnessed, her drive to run is awesome: Without a single temptation to sniff around, she just wants to press forward. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Her drive and speed have won her dog team several trophies. Her racing ancestors probably did give her ‘the right blood’. She also runs single dog roller well. Her hobbies include agility and obediance training.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When her master has taken her to the show ring, they have awarded her several ERIs (Excellent) and SA (Worth a certificate).  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When she received &lt;a href=&quot;../Puppies/Merkinnat/2014/7/30_Vetoava_B-puppies.html&quot;&gt;her first babies 14.9.2014&lt;/a&gt;, she has proved to be a great mother: Always keeping her babies clean, not forgetting to lick even their faces :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What more could one hope from a great dog and a friend?</description>

She likes people, patting and thanks often her friends with a wet kiss.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Many of Ava’s ancestors are known to be leader dogs, according to Jenni Hasa, Kefeus Kennel. They have also won several Finnish Sled Dog Championship titles.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ava’s eyes have been checked to be healthy. In a Special Dog Show for Siberian Huskies of Finland she has received ‘Very good’  (EH) qualification.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ava has had two litters with us. Please look at the nice story and pictures on her litters: &lt;a href=&quot;../Puppies/Merkinnat/2013/8/1_Vetoava_A-puppies.html&quot;&gt;A-puppies 2013&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;../Puppies/Merkinnat/2015/1/1_Vetoava_C-puppies.html&quot;&gt;C-puppies 2015&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>
