Kennel Gegwen

Siberian husky is an arctic sleddog and the only reasonable way of giving a pack of huskies all the excersize they need is to harness them in front of a sled or a wheeled vehicle e.g. an ATV in a less snowy season. The training season begins in September when the weather starts cooling and continues until spring. In summer the huskies are on vacation and enjoy the sun and warm weather like we men do. And life with huskies is not mere mushing. Our daily activities include obedience and agility training and what’s best − a lot of frolicking.

As time has passed the hobby has become more like a lifestyle. The winters used to be the void dull period between far too short summers. Now they are highlights of the year. Holidays in the world metropols are but a memory and weekends are spent in training camps and competition trips which are an esstial part of your life when you've got huskies. Racing is not all about winning but also testing your dogs − not only their speed but their temperament and attitude, too. Moreover, races and common training sessions give you a possibility to spend quality time with like-minded friends and discuss all kinds of dog issues.

However, personally I am more interested in hiking with my dog team out in the distant snow fields: alone as well as together with friends or clients.
