Christina Linder: I have always lived with dog´s around me, my family have had a smaller breeding of German shorthaired pointer and English cocker spaniel. 2009 i took over my parent´s kennel and now i have a smaller breeding of German short-haired Pointers (www.vinterlandetskennel.se).  Has trained and competed with sled dogs since I was 8 years old. It started with skis behind my family´s dogs, and over time, turned it into running sled when my parents bought my first sled. Has competed actively in Nordic style (the dog pulling a sled and driver skiing behind.) For many years. Drove my first vindelälvsdrag when I was 11 years. Winters was to go around to competitions in Sweden and Norway almost every weekend. But it is thanks to my parents I was able to get involved with this sport, it requires time and effort, and they have really been there for me. Another interest I have is to take photos, has always liked it but never really had time with it, or rather it has not been prioritized. Are a beginner, but trying to learn more about it. I love to shoot dogs, they are incredible beauties in front of the camera.
I started working as a guide for a tourist company here in Kiruna, it was sleddogs in the winter and fishing trips in the summer. It was after that it became more and more to just run and race sled, there is a feeling to drive sled that strikes the most. The interaction between the dogs and the driver is something you must experience to understand. Dogs are my life and will probably always have them around me. Any spare time is spent on my dogs and my doughter, there are a lot of work, but it's something I enjoy doing and feel comfortable with. and you get a lot back.

I live together with Niklas Dirland and our daughter, Nova in Kauppinen, a village outside Kiruna in which both we and the dogs have plenty of space.
 

Are working on MTAB as terminal workers and who hope to have a job that can be combined to compete and train at the elite level.
