ABOUT VILJA
West Siberian Laika with excellent results in both conformation shows (CQ, BOB, Excellent) and hunting trials, including two first‑prize awards in off‑leash moose hunting trials in 2025. At home, Vilja is calm and easy‑going, but in the forest she transforms into a powerful, fearless worker. In the hunt, she is cooperative, stays in good contact with her handler, and is a true favorite—both for the family and for the moose hunter.
Vilja is still a young dog but based on Vilja's fine qualities, the idea is that she will become the mother of many puppy litters.

Vilja is born in February 2022 on the West Coast of Sweden and moved home to Luleå in April 2022. During the spring and summer, she trained basic obedience and game tracking, which gradually increased in difficulty. Vilja picks up interest in moose and tracks fresh moose tracks 150 meters at 13 weeks of age.
Vilja participates in her first dog show in June 2023, at the age of 15 months. She receives the assessment Excellent and is awarded BOB and CK and recieves fantastic praise from judges.
Vilja’s first moose was harvested in October 2023, at the age of 1 year and 8 months. Her interest in the big game grew steadily throughout the season.
The second full hunting season began a bit unsteadily due to her heat cycle falling right in the middle of the season, but her development improved with every day in the forest. Vilja demonstrated excellent hunting qualities and strong endurance in her moose work, resulting in several successful harvests
In 2025, Vilja earned 2 "first prizes" in hunting trials, making her one of Sweden’s top West Siberian Laikas that year. A planned mating is scheduled for 2026
