Staff
Our husky farm keeps its workers busy all year round, and fortunately we have good and reliable staff that does all kennel work. Our employees as well as dogs are the greatest resource to our company.
Winter safaris season lasts about 5-6 months, and about 2-3 months before that we train dogs using ATVs so that they will be in good shape before actual season starts. Dogs care, feeding, watering and keeping the kennel clean require continuous work. In addition we do maintenance works in the kennel and on the treks, equipment maintenance works - 30 sleds, 4 snowmobiles, 2 ATVs, etc. not to mention the rest...

Seppo Viemerö, operative manager, main guide
When Husky Farm moved to its current location in 2002, Seppo started working with sled dogs. His plan was to stop by for a month in the busiest time of year, but he enjoyed the work so much that month has turned into several years already. And there seems to be no end in sight… =) Seppo is in charge of everything that takes place at the kennel.
