As we drive to the kennel from Levi, our guide will tell you a story about Balto and share some interesting facts about huskies.
In this excursion you will visit one of the oldest in Finland husky kennels in Finland, which belongs to the famous Finnish musher Reijo Jääskeläinen. During a kennel tour You will meet genuine Siberian huskies of different ages, arctic fox, tundra wolves, mixed dog-wolfs, spitz and puppies. Some of these animals are real movie-stars, as they were specially trained for filming. Your host will demonstrate some of the tricks the animals can do. As an additional option on this tour, you can go inside the cage with brown foxes and take selfies with them.
