My name is Sophie Verla, I graduated in agricultural engineering at the Hungarian Szent István University in Gödöllö.
I wrote my thesis in theme of animal breeding, with title of "Purpose Breeding of Working Sleddogs". I have been a musher for 16 years, I got my first sleddog in 1992. My first team was 8 show Siberians. They were a little bit slow, and we did not reach good places in the races.
Now I have 15 racing dogs... They are working Siberians, 11 of them are of my own breeding.
