Jaakko Mölsä, Finnland, was born in 1981. He has about 20 years experience with sleddogs starting from the early childhood. His first “race” was in childrens class with one dog in 1986. In 2000 he moved from Kuusamo to Rovaniemi and started to study transport vehicle engineering. Jaakko graduated 2006. While still studying he started to work for Aki and Malla Holck in 2003. Since then he has been training the Huskypoint –dogs and also took part in few races every season. For Jaakko sleddog racing is a hobby, and nice way to do something else than working with dogs. He said: "I just want to do my best and see how far it takes. Never give up!"
