Nova is the smartest husky I have ever known. Nothing can fence her in - except of course the new roof that we have now built above the dog yard to keep her from climbing out. She is also the only one among our huskies that I trust with our cats. In many ways I think she IS a cat!! She is beautifully built - slim, athletic and long legged. I love the way she moves - completely effortless and at really high speeds. She proved to be an extremely robust and hard working sled dog during Finnmarksløpet - never showing any stiffness or soreness during the race. She knows all the commands and can work at all positions in the team. She is hardworking and focused except when bored! And she is really good at resting when possible! Whenever the team stops she immediately lays down to take a snow bath and power nap! Super efficient! Nova is of course one of members in our A-team of long-distance athletes. She turned four years in February and has completed all races including Finnmarksløpet 600 km with no injuries. She is sweet tempered, social, talkative, uncomplicated, playful, happy and everybody´s darling with the softest fur and the best husky kisses.

Nova selected us - and we are so grateful to have her in our life!

National dogshow in Tromsø 29.08.2020 G. AK
Judge Hans Almgren, Sweden: "1 og 1/2 år. Lett tispe. Der hodet og kropp behøver å utvikles da ulike saker mangler. Substans. Store ører. Kunne ha bedre pigment noen partier. Bra halslengde. Tilstrekkelig benstamme. Hun rører seg med bra steg. Parallelt bak. Savner harmoni og tilstrekkelig sosial trening for utstilling. Bruk mye tid."

Three years later Nova was back in the ring and got her well deserved excellent and CQ (champion quality):
