| Being Owned By A Siberian Siberian Huskies are a unique breed. People who have had the pleasure of sharing their lives with a Siberian Husky dog know what we mean when we say, 'being owned by a Siberian Husky'... Please be sure to research these beautiful and devoted companions before considering one for yourself! The Siberian Husky is an active, energetic and resilient breed whose ancestors came from the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. A Siberian Husky puppy can be a challenging breed of dog to train due to their strong will and independent nature. Proper Siberian Husky training requires persistence and patience. Siberian Huskies are not generally recommended for first time dog owners who are not informed and prepared, as their breed-specific traits and desire to run can sometimes be difficult for inexperienced dog owners to understand and manage. I put that first paragraph in because I'm ashamed to say, when we acquired our first husky we were exactly the type of people we warn against. Steve had wanted a Siberian for years because he loved their beauty but we did very little research before deciding they were the breed for us. Due to the winter weather, it took Santa's magic to get Nuka to us. At 11:30pm on Christmas Eve, Steve picked him up at the airport and our son Dawson's Christmas wish had arrived. Nuka was the most striking puppy we had ever seen and he immediately stole our hearts. As he grew and we began to research Siberians we realized how unprepared we were for this dynamic breed of dog. When Nuka came to live with us, we chose to keep him indoors. Although we exercised him daily, at about 6 months we realized that he yearned to be outside. We enclosed our back field and Nuka loved his new surroundings. When Nuka came to us we had aspirations of training him to be a show dog. He attended training classes which were as beneficial to him as to us. His trainer was constantly amazed at how intelligent Nuka was. Although we still believe him to be the most beautiful and intelligent Siberian Husky in the world, the world of dog shows wasn't meant for Nuka. We know we have a superior dog and having titles to prove it is now of little importance. As Nuka grew, we learned so much about his wonderful breed of dog. Our three boys love to play with Nuka and we became one tight pack. Since Huskies are pack dogs, we decided last year to expand our pack and get Nuka a playmate. In February of 2007, Saraha joined our pack. She and Nuka quickly bonded and his entire demeanor changed as he now had a playmate full time. We weren't certain that we would breed the dogs when we got Sahara. It was more important for us to make sure we were devoted to our two dogs because of the joy they brought. Not knowing a lot about female dogs, when Sahara went through her first heat cycle, we began our research venture again. We separated the dogs and began learning all we could about breeding to determine if we wanted to go that route. We decided that when the time came we would let nature take its course and in May of this year, we were blessed with four beautiful female puppies. Watching the puppies grow and develop was such a wonderful experience and now they have all found homes with wonderful families whom they will bring years of joy. It is our desire to share our beloved dogs with you. This site is our way of helping new, current, and future Siberian Husky owners learn more about this magnificent breed, and to show off our Siberians! Enjoy! |
