Axaeco was born from a passion for mushing, and even though we are delighted to have expanded our horizons to include all active dogs, mushing equipment is still very much at the heart of our brand! We interviewed Petter Karlsson, who has been a top, multi-discipline, international musher for over twenty years. He has successfully competed in sprints, mid-distance and long distance skijoring and sled races. He wins competitions while never compromising on the well-being of his dogs.
