Bearhill Husky Annual Open Day - 6th September 2025
One of the traditions we are most proud of at Bearhill Husky is our annual Open Day, which we have been hosting for many years. It’s a highlight of our autumn calendar, usually in September, and a chance for us to welcome the community into our kennel in a relaxed and informal way.
The Open Day is exactly what it sounds like: everyone is welcome to visit. Our team will be on hand to greet guests, show you around, and answer questions about life at the kennel. Unlike a guided tour, this is a more casual opportunity to experience Bearhill Husky, stroll around the yard, meet the dogs, and see the daily life of a working kennel up close.
We see this day as our way of giving back to the community and saying thank you to our neighbours in Rovaniemi. Our dogs are part of the landscape here – you might hear them now and then, but this is a chance to see what they do and how we care for them. Over the years, many local families have made it a tradition to come by, enjoy the atmosphere, and see how the kennel has grown and improved.
During the day, visitors can:
- Meet the dogs, from the new puppies of the year to our experienced old-timers.
- Enjoy short rides, weather permitting (if it’s too warm for the dogs to run, there will still be plenty to see and do).
- Explore the kennel and see the updates and improvements we’ve made.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Finnish gathering without some warm food and coffee! We’ll have grilled sausages, juice, and coffee available, and a limited batch of our popular salmon soup, always a favorite, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
For us, the Open Day is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built at Bearhill Husky and a chance to share it with the community. It’s a perfect day out for families, a chance for kids to meet the dogs, parents to enjoy a coffee in the fresh air, and for everyone to feel a little closer to life at the kennel.
We believe our kennel is a valuable part of Rovaniemi, and we are proud to open our doors to all who are curious about what we do. Whether you’re a neighbour, a local family, or just a dog lover passing by, we look forward to welcoming you to Bearhill Husky’s Open Day this Saturday, on 6th of September!
