Team 1 — Luna (Solo)

Our original lead. Luna now runs solo in harness since Lokie's paw injury. Still first on the trail, still charging forward with that same unstoppable spirit.

🥈

Team 2 — Oden & Angel

The balanced pair. Oden brings power and focus while Angel balances perfectly with her loving nature and joyful energy.

🥉

Team 3 — Thor, Zara & Pella

The trio. Two experienced runners with young Pella keeping up proudly beside the older two.

Lokie — Free Runner

Luna

Playful, adventurous, curious inspector with high standards

Luna is our resident quality inspector — she checks every kennel project meets her standards! A winter walk warrior and experienced runner, Luna now runs solo in harness as Team 1 since Lokie's paw injury. She was one of the earliest members of the pack, already part of the family by winter 2022.

Lokie

Playful, full of excitement, focused energy — now running free

Lokie still charges into the forest with that same unstoppable energy, but due to a paw injury he can no longer pull a sled harness. He now runs off-lead alongside all three training teams, keeping his spirit alive on every run. One of the original pack members, his snowy Skärplinge trail walks remain some of our most beloved content.
