K9metrix is a phone app for sled-dog kennels. It makes the day's teams from your own dogs and your own rules, keeps every dog's health and inspection record, and logs each kilometre a dog runs.
Most kennels plan teams on a whiteboard and keep health notes on paper. K9metrix does both on the phone in your pocket, and it knows which dogs can run together.
In October 2026 we compared 62 features, one by one, against the other kennel and dog-sport apps on the market.
Other kennel apps give you a board to drag dogs around. K9metrix makes the whole day's teams in one tap, under your rules.
Rest days, days-a-week limits, puppy and old-dog caps, and each dog's recent km decide who runs.
Tell it the going and the cold. It picks the dogs that suit the day.
Kilos from your booking system or typed by a guide. Each sled shows kg per dog in green, amber or red.
Everything Länsstyrelsen asks for, with the red flags worked out and listed first.
Run sizes checked against the Swedish table (SJVFS 2020:8), and a count of dogs over 12 months against your permit.
Water, bedding and temperature on every round, the frost-water rule, and which dogs left their pen today.
A senior badge, the 90-day vet check, a written senior plan and their time out of the pen.
Write the same thing about two dogs twice and the app asks: make this a rule?
Build at the same time with a live presence light. Lock the day, undo a move, practise in private.
Mark the race squad, read each dog's readiness in plain words, and let it pick the best line from the pool.
Who sleeps where, find any dog in a second, and the counts per row.
Every kennel gets its own private copy, its own yard map, its own rules and its own language. The pictures below are example kennels made for this page.
A spreadsheet, the app's template, or a photo of your whiteboard. Names, positions, birthdays, who is in season. We put them in for pilot kennels.
Who never runs beside whom, who must pair, who leads. Draw your yard so the app knows who sleeps where. Add your guides and what each may do.
Today's teams appear, rested and balanced. Drag a dog to change anything. Save, and the teams go to every guide's phone, even out on the lake with no signal.
This is a real training run from our yard at Altajärvi, 15 October 2026. The musher saved the GPS file once. All eight dogs in the team got the 9.38 km on their own record.

We are taking a few kennels in Sweden and Norway for the 2026–27 season. You use the app for real team-making. We fix what you find and build what you ask for.
Pilot kennels this winter: free.
Paid plans from spring 2027. No card, no automatic payments. You decide then.
K9metrix comes from Snowdog Arctic Adventures, a husky kennel of 74 dogs at Altajärvi, outside Kiruna in Swedish Lapland. We built it because we needed it: tours every day, guides who change through the season, and an inspector who wants to see the records. Our own crew makes its teams with it every morning.
