Puppies born after Hilma and Yukon October 18 2025

Willow the firstborn in the litter

After an intense and thrilling 24 hours in the whelping room, the long-awaited puppies of Hilma  and Yukon finally arrived this weekend! It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, excitement, and very little sleep, but we couldn’t be happier.

The first two pups needed a little assistance making their grand entrance, but they wasted no time heading straight for their first meal. The rest of the litter arrived smoothly, and now the whelping box is filled with peace and contentment. All the puppies are full, happy, and blissfully snoozing. Hilma has proven to be an incredible mom, and we can finally take a deep breath and enjoy this special moment.

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest additions to the Snykovet family — five beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm:

Snykovet’s Arctic Willow (born 11:30). A stunning golden-brown beauty and the biggest of the litter, weighing in at 515g.

Snykovet’s Yesenia (born 12:24). Black as a raven, weighing 480g.

Snykovet’s Betula (born 13:10). Dark like her mother, with a tiny white tip on her tail and a little white heart on her belly. She weighs 490g.

Snykovet’s Magnolia (born 14:45). The one who resembles her father the most, with a delicate white stripe along her nose bridge. She weighs 473g.

And just when we thought the excitement was over, a fifth little lady surprised us later in the evening! Snykovet’s Myrtle (born 21:35). Weighing 475g, she’s as beautiful as her four older sisters.

Hilma and Yukon’s Precious Puppies

This special litter is the result of our close collaboration with Ida-Helene, the proud owner of Yukon and a key member of Team Snykovet as both a talented musher and handler. Adding her creative touch, Ida-Helene also came up with the stunning names for these adorable puppies! We’re overjoyed to welcome these lovely girls into the world and can’t wait to watch them grow.
