Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely! The Life of the Husky tour is one of our family friendly tours, which is also suitable for very small children. If you have an infant with you, it is also possible to join this tour with a baby carriage or stroller.

The tour takes place at our kennel, so bring comfortable clothes that you can spend time outside. Please also dress according to the weather and wear something where you would not mind that it gets a little bit dirty.

The tour will last just two hours, so we will only be offering juice and cookies here at our kennel. If you feel like having some snacks with you please feel free to bring your own. Taking something to drink is advisable, but we are selling some here at our kennel as well.

If you will not be using our transfers for the tour, you can meet closeby to our kennel by the locked gate. Our guide will then meet you there and lead you to our kennel area to park your vehicle. You will get a google maps link to the exact meeting location when you make your booking.
