Indium is all about the thrill of the training run! We believe in a careful approach to sled dog training. Our dogs start working with guests at 2 years old, but before that, they spend a season learning under professional drivers in guide sleds. This method helps them build confidence and skills for a safe, successful transition to a professional sled dog.

The trails around the kennel are becoming busy as mushers Emmi from Lohja and Kenneth from Levajok have returned with their teams, each preparing for the winter season ahead. Both have become familiar faces around the kennel, and their return brings added energy to the autumn training sessions.

20/09/2024

Training our huskies on swamp terrain offers a unique challenge compared to regular trails and roads. The swamp simulates deep snow conditions, requiring the dogs to pull harder and work together as a team to navigate the heavy, uneven ground. The mud and water also help to keep them cool during the workout, making it both physically demanding and beneficial for their endurance and strength. This type of training is an excellent way to prepare them for winter sledding conditions.

17/09/2024

Keeping the dogs properly hydrated is a crucial part of the training. Working out increases fluid loss for all athletes – dogs as well as humans. But like we humans do, dogs don't sweat while working out. They cool off and control their body temperature by panting. It is their primary mechanism for regulating body temperature. When a dog pants, they rapidly exchange warm air from their lungs with cooler air from the environment. This process helps to dissipate excess heat, making it the primary way dogs regulate their body temperature.

15/09/2024

At the age of one, our dogs start to train with the adults, but with less intensity. They already know how to work in a team but aren’t physically yet ready to do the same amount of work as adults. We work with them in the summer to reinforce good routines, building their confidence and physical condition. We are proud to see them develop.

14/09/2024

Resting between training runs is important because it optimizes our athletes’ performance and recovery time. It allows the dogs to lower their heart rate, replenish energy stores, and ensure their muscles are prepared for the next round. By incorporating rest between rounds our dogs can maintain the intensity of pulling a cart or a sled, and reduce the risk of injury or fatigue keeping in mind that the breaks need to have a good balance between calming the heart rate and not cooling down the muscles too much otherwise it will increase the risks for muscle injuries.

12/09/2024

We can feel the crispness of autumn in the air, as the season slowly starts to unfold around us. 🍂

10/09/2024

Autumn at the kennel is a highly anticipated time of year. As the summer heat gives way to cooler temperatures, it's time to kick off the training season. Huskies are not born fit, it takes lots of preparation and conditioning before the dogs are as fit as they can be. If you're seeking an autumn adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, our Born to Run tour and Running with the Pack tour are your ticket to an unforgettable, but also educational experience. Come and join us!

Meet our Mountain puppies Tengri, Tabor, Kazbek, and our only male, K2. We got these puppies from with whom we shared this litter.

Their parents are Nyla and Sailor. Sailor comes from Mats Pettersson and has participated in the Iditarod, Tobaccotrail, Lapland Quest, and Gold Rush Run as part of his team. As a personality Sailor is more selective towards people he's interested in and always wants to run.

Nyla has never participated in competitions, but as a sleddog, she always does her part and works as one of the best lead dogs on her owner Jake's team. A rare part of Nyla's character is her ability to communicate with other dogs which can be seen in her puppies.

Nyla and Sailor have one previous litter from two years ago. Those siblings are good leaders and very social towards other dogs and people. These characteristics can already be seen in these pups as well, our Mountain pups are very social and not afraid to explore the world around them.

In a pack, the older dogs often correct the younger ones when they misbehave, teaching them vital information in a natural way.

We utilize this behavior in our own training and often pair young dogs with more experienced individuals. When they are running, the experienced dogs can correct and teach the youngsters immediately, making it easier to learn the right ways of working as a member of the team and giving them a four-legged role model to look up to.

01/09/2024

Morning cart rides are the best. it’s quiet, the temperature is not too high, and the dogs love it.

30/08/2024

Looking back to 2022, when our Cookie’s “elements” pups were just beginning their journey at our kennel. Fast forward to now, and these young adults are gearing up for their first winter as professional sled dogs. Last winter season they practiced in our guide teams to gain confidence and experience under the eyes of our experienced mushers. With their training complete and their confidence boosted, they are now ready to join our guest teams. Join us this winter, and you might have the chance to meet these young adults running in your team as you enjoy the thrill of dog sledding!

Meet Charlie, the wise gentleman with a twinkle in his eyes and a soft spot for the ladies.

16/08/2024

We expose our pups to a variety of environments, helping them develop confidence and adaptability. We want them to explore at their own pace, supporting them as needed. It's a joy to witness their transformation from curious pups to confident explorers.

Tried to get to participate in this process but we did it ourselves with and had a blast while doing something good for the environment.

Small waterbodies have suffered significant damage in the Lapland region due to drainage, dredging, forest management and migration barriers such as road culverts. The diversity of the riverbeds has diminished and the deep areas needed by larger fish have filled up. A lot of material, not part of the aquatic ecosystem, such as tree leaves, plant matter and substances carried by runoff from surrounding areas accumulates in the riverbeds. As a result, there is an abundance of breakers in the bottom-dwelling community, contributing to a natural balance maintained by water flow.

The purpose of this project is to improve the habitat in Viiksoja to restore the trout population and return the stream to its natural state, as well as maintain it. Another goal, is to remove migration barriers that block the migration of fish.

This project is a part of the HELMI Small Waterbodies initiative, managed by the Finnish Water Foundation, which aims to restore, plan and invest in small waterbodies across Finland. The restoration of Viiksoja began in the fall of 2023, when the restoration plan was presented to the landowners and local residents.

Viiksoja originates from Lake Viiksjärvi, which is classified as having excellent ecological status. Viiksoja was used as a timber floating route more than 100 years ago, and before that, it was dredged by hand, with the largest stones moved to the edges of the ditch and the sharper bends straightened to create as straight a path as possible.

Our goal was to restore the riverbed by using the stones along the banks to stone-line the channel and create threshold structures, in front of which we made a flow deepening/pool. Larger stones in the faster-flowing rapids provide shelter for the fish and help form protective ice cover in the rapids. We built the threshold structures by digging up stones from the riverbed and placing them at the lower part of the pool or reinforcing existing natural threshold structures by moving stones in the riverbed to better locations.

Kookos and Dozer agree that mud baths aren't just for spa days! Swamp water and mud provides a cooling effect, while training our dogs during off-season. Their coats may be covered in mud, but their spirits remain high.

Around our kennel, we have a variety of training trails that offer different terrains for our huskies to navigate - forest trails with uphills to train muscles and power, dirt roads for long-distance training, allowing our huskies to develop endurance and swampy trails to build strength and muscle. By exposing them to different challenges during training, we ensure they are well-prepared for the winter season ahead.

After the training run, Diablo is still raring to go! Working dogs are driven by a deep-seated passion for the tasks they were bred for. Whether it's the Alaskan Husky's relentless love for running, the Border Collie's instinctual herding prowess or the Golden Retrievers' passion for retrieving balls, these amazing dogs demonstrate remarkable dedication in their work.

Our puppies got to run freely in our woods and do some training, like recall, at the same time. #visitrovaniemi #bearhillhusky #lapland #finland #husky #viralbeauty

The dogs get to run free in the running fence and socialise with other dogs. The dogs get to let loose and run freely in a safe and monitored environment with their friends. #visitlapland #bearhillhusky #lapland #finland #husky

Our rehoming program is always an ongoing project. While some of our seasoned sled dog veterans are entering their well-deserved retirement, sometimes we're also rehoming younger dogs who we believe would thrive better in a different setting. Maybe the tourist kennel life isn't their scene, and that's totally okay. Our goal is to match them with mushers or families who are ready for the adventure they bring. Troy had found his happy trails in a new home with our crew member Betty @ms.bettybarks. He is thriving in her small team, running with joy. We believe in the well-being of our huskies above all else. Rehoming our dogs is always hard, because for us they are loved co-workers. But we're excited to create space for new beginnings and tail wag. Interested in being part of this journey or giving a retired husky a forever home? Reach out at [email protected]

Exciting news! This Saturday at 10:00 we will be opening the rides in Santa Claus Village. A quick ride with the huskies is perfect for anyone who wants to feel the speed of a dog team pulling you in a sled. You as a guest get to enjoy the scenery and the experience, while our experienced guide is mushing the team. More information on our website www.bearhillhusky.com

10 Year ago we were honoured to deliver the winner of the "Helsinki International Horse Show" to the podium. We ran the dogs with a sled on just sand..so it was a lot slower as we expected..but this was a super strong team.. This was in the "Hartwall Arena" and because of this gig I was happy to claim that Bearhill has driven dogs from Hartwall Arena in the south of Finland to Halti in the North, and everywhere in between.

Meet Zulu, a charming boy who's looking for a retirement home. Zulu was born at our kennel in 2018 and is part of the African tribe litter from Sweet and Wilbur. Zulu is a special boy with a heart full of love to give. He's people-oriented and loves nothing more than spending time with his human companions. He is not only affectionate but also intelligent and easy to train. Whether you're teaching him new tricks or reinforcing good behavior, Zulu is a quick learner who is sure to make training a breeze. Zulu gets along nicely with other dogs, also males. If you have dogs at home, he's more than happy to share his love and playful energy with them. Zulu has an endearing way of expressing his love - with gentle love bites. It's his unique way of showing affection. Zulu has brought so much joy to our lives, and now we're on a mission to find him the perfect retirement home where he can continue to thrive and bring happiness. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to share your days with, consider giving Zulu a forever home. Please reach out to us if you're interested in providing Zulu with the retirement home he deserves. #visitrovaniemi #rovaniemi #ourfinland #sleddog #dogsledding #greenkeyfinland #visitlapland #visitfinland #responsibletourism #animalwelfare #husky #koiravaljakko #suomi #finland #lapland #travelfinland #tripadvisor

Introducing Joel, the lovable boy in search of his future retirement home! Joel is a 8-year-old male and he came to us from Alaska in 2019 from Jim Lanier’s yard. In a team he is a hard working dog, but now it's time to take it easy. When Joel moved to us he was a grumpy young man but he turned out to be a very gentle, human focused dog. He gets along well with other huskies, but would also be happy as an only dog. When it comes to singing, he's quite the "unique" talent. Joel’s attempts at hitting those high husky often fail, but it doesn't faze him one bit. Despite his years, Joel still has a lot of energy to enjoy outdoors. He would thrive in a family that cherishes outdoor activities as much as he does. So, if you're ready to make a furry companion a part of your life and create lasting bonds, don't hesitate to get in touch with us by [email protected] #visitrovaniemi #rovaniemi #ourfinland #sleddog #dogsledding #greenkeyfinland #visitlapland #visitfinland #responsibletourism #animalwelfare #husky #koiravaljakko #suomi #finland #lapland #travelfinland #tripadvisor

Meet Kosher! He is looking for a retirement home. Kosher is a seven-year-old male who moved to us from Alaska in 2018 from Nicolas Petit’s yard. Kosher is a pleasure to work with, he is social by nature and gets along with everyone. He would make an ideal addition to a family that spends time outdoors. During a few winters Kosher has been practicing skijoring with our guides and despite his age, he is always ready to go for a run!
