About Husky Iceland

More than just a business, Husky Iceland is a way of life, fueled by our passion for dogs and the stunning Icelandic landscapes. Learn about our family, the dedicated care of our huskies, and the unforgettable adventures we’re eager to share. Here’s our story.

Living the Dream: The Husky Iceland Family

Husky Iceland is a small, family-run company located just outside Reykjavik, at Fitjakot Farm.
 
Our huskies are at the heart of our lives—they’re not only our passion but also our beloved family members. Primarily house dogs, we train them year-round, keeping things varied and exciting. Whether we’re sledding, cross-country skiing, cycling, scootering, inline skating, jogging, or simply walking, our goal is always to ensure both the dogs and humans are having fun.
Well-exercised and well-fed dogs make the happiest house pets!
 
We’re active participants in sled dog competitions across Iceland, from the South to the North, and we also take part in exhibitions at HRFÍ, the Icelandic Kennel Club. For us, seeing our dogs thrive is the most rewarding thing. This active, joyful way of life is what drives us and brings us so much happiness, and we’re excited to share it with you. There’s nothing we enjoy more than introducing people to the thrill of dog sledding and the beauty of our Icelandic surroundings. With many years under our belt, we know the trails like the back of our hands, and we’re a lot more comfortable in the wild with our incredible dogs than behind the desk.
 
If you’re looking for a truly memorable adventure near Reykjavík, we’re eager to share our love of the sport and these incredible landscapes with you.

The Mushers

We’re a team made up of people who genuinely love dogs, exploring, and just being out in our breathtaking nature. We’re here to give you an amazing time on the sled, but more than anything, we want to make sure you’re safe and having fun the whole way. Our huskies are full of energy and the Icelandic scenery is incredible, that’s what gets people interested in the first place. But what really makes us different is our crew. We’re all really passionate about what we do, and we think that shows. We’re not just mushers, we’re people who want to share this experience with you and make it something you’ll always remember.

The Pack

Let’s talk about our huskies. We know they’re a big reason why people come visit, and honestly, they deserve all the attention. Sure, our husky journeys have amazing views, adrenaline, and a real adventure feel, but it’s the dogs that truly make it special. They’re the heart and soul of Husky Iceland, and we simply couldn’t operate without them. These dogs are friendly, they work incredibly hard, they’re playful, and of course, they’re super cute. We treat them like part of our family, and they show us just as much love back. So, let’s introduce you to our wonderful pack.

Sled Dog Welfare

At Husky Iceland, the well-being of our dogs is our top priority. During summer, the adjacent river Leirvogsa offers a perfect spot for the huskies to cool down after long hikes, and they have the chance to swim and enjoy the refreshing waters.

Our modern, secure kennels are built to the highest Icelandic animal welfare standards, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for every dog. Elevated benches provide shade during warmer months, while the integrated ground/flooring offers a cozy resting place. For winter, the kennels are insulated to protect the dogs from Iceland’s extreme cold. With a large run, the dogs have plenty of space to play and enjoy themselves, and to strengthen their bond with their two-legged friends, the huskies can take turns staying overnight in the house with us. This helps to enhance their social interactions and enrich their lives outside of their training routines.

Additionally, we offer individually bookable husky tours in both summer and winter, allowing guests to spend quality time with our dogs and provide a welcome break from their athletic schedules.

For their medical care, we work closely with an experienced veterinarian who specializes in sled dogs, ensuring they receive the best possible attention and care whenever needed. At Husky Iceland, we go the extra mile to ensure our huskies are happy, healthy, and always ready for the next adventure!
