Hjördís is the mother of Sæmundur and the cornerstone of our journey into dog sledding. Without her, we would not have any dogs, and without dogs, there would be no dog sledding company. Her influence and dedication have shaped the very existence of our business.

Pioneering Siberian Husky Breeding in Iceland

As one of the first Siberian Husky breeders in Iceland, Hjördís has played a pivotal role in bringing these remarkable dogs to the country. She acquired her first Siberian Husky in 2003, laying the foundation for our future endeavors. Thanks to her vision and efforts, we were able to establish Snow Dogs.

Our Dogs’ Lineage

In 2015, Hjördís had a litter for us, followed by another in 2016. Nearly all the dogs we have today, except for the three we imported from other countries, are direct descendants of these litters. During our early years of operating dog sledding tours, she generously lent us some of her own dogs, helping us build and maintain our team.

Ongoing Support and Care

Currently, Hjördís owns four Siberian Huskies. Our partnership goes beyond breeding; she sometimes takes care of our dogs when we have days off, and we return the favor by watching her dogs as well. This close relationship has been invaluable to our company and the well-being of our dogs.
