Description
Meet the Siberian Huskies that pull sleds through the Icelandic snow on this visit to a dog sled kennel in North Iceland, between Akureyri Town and Lake Myvatn. The tour suits animal lovers who want to meet and play with friendly dogs.
You start the tour at the kennel at Vallholt Farm, where an experienced musher and at least 20 sled dogs are waiting to greet you. Toilets are available, and you can borrow extra clothing and gear if you need it.
The dogs are friendly, used to visitors, and love attention. Your musher tells you about each dog, including its personality and family ties, and you have plenty of time to cuddle the huskies and take photos with them.
Siberian Huskies have a gentle nature and are good with children. They are known for their thick fur coats, pricked ears, and intelligent faces.
While you spend time with the dogs, your musher explains the basics of dog sledding and how the dogs are trained, worked with, and cared for, so that they are happy to do their jobs.
Sled dogs have been bred over thousands of years to excel at their work and enjoy it. Huskies have strength, energy, resilience, resistance to the cold, and a strong pack mentality, which make them suited to the job.
Because of these traits, the dogs enjoy being outside and roam the farm freely when the weather allows. They can handle almost any conditions but are brought into the kennels for their comfort during storms.
