Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 12…Nadia

Next in line for our Friday Focus is Nadia.  Nadia's story was special, and almost worthy of a "Saturday Stories" post.  Since she is now over a year old, her story is sometimes forgotten.  She is the daughter of Daisie and Denali, born 11-22-12.  The litter was very large, with 10 puppies in all.  When litters are that big, it's not uncommon to have small puppies, or even runts.  In most cases unfortunately, a runt won't survive.  We have had r...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 11…Kallen

In early 2012, as we started to expand on the number of females in our pack, we decided it was also time to add another male.  Kallen came to us from Southern Indiana in the late spring of 2012.  At first, Kallen was on the shy and reserved side.  But it didn’t take him long to warm up to everyone.  He and Rose hit it off immediately, and became playground buddies.  As Kallen grew, he became more and more mischievous.  If there are dogs getting...

Rose came to us in the spring of 2012, all the way from northern Michigan.  A musher contacted us inquiring on one of Daisie and Denali’s January 2012 litter, wanting an all-white male.  After a discussion with the individuals, realized they were also breeders that bred their huskies to keep for racing and also to sell.  We were both looking to expand our packs, and after we realized they had puppies to sell as well, we agreed to simply exchange puppies.  Daisie’s puppy, (Shemiah) is ...

In today’s edition of “Cartoon Alter Ego”, I am writing about Brutus, although it is difficult.  As most of you know, Brutus was a Frosty Meadow Favorite.  We’ve mentioned many times that almost everyone who came to the farm remarked on how beautiful and friendly he was.  Multiple times, when puppy buyers would come to pick out their puppy, they would see Brutus and ask if they could just buy him instead.  Of course the answer was always NO!!

Brutus was a very loving and even tempe...

Time for another “Cartoon Alter Ego”, and this time we will take a look at Aleu.  Last week’s “Friday Focus” was about her, so we will follow suit with her cartoon comparison.  The reason for these comparisons, (besides for fun) is to give the reader an idea of how they act on a regular basis.  Some of the comparisons stand out and are obvious, and some we had to think about a little more. 

Aleu was a tough case.  As mentioned in the Friday Focus, she is a very loving and hypera...

Our next Husky in line was Aleu.  By this time, we decided that expanding the pack was going to continue to be an integral part of our future plans.  We had decided that we only wanted to focus on Siberian Huskies of AKC Pedigree and Lineage.  To this point, all of our Huskies (except Sheba) were black and white, all-white, or gray and white.  We decided to look for a red and white, since we had some individuals inquiring on red and white puppies.  In March of 2010, we found a 10 week old...

In today’s “Cartoon Alter Ego”, we will talk about Nadia.  She was born in Daisie and Denali’s latest litter, born 11-22-12.  Nadia was the runt of the litter.  This litter was very large, consisting of 10 puppies!  When you have large litters, it’s typical to have some smaller than others.  Nadia was an extreme case.  She was less than half the size of the rest at birth, and remained about half their size as she grew.  Today, she is around 35 lbs., which is still about 10-20 lbs ...

Meet the Siberian Huskies…Part 8…Sheba

In the summer of 2010, we received an email wondering if we take in rescues.  We took in Akira earlier, and we decided we could still handle one additional Husky.  Rescuing Huskies is something we hope to one day do more of, but currently are very limited.  We currently will only take in puppies that came from us and try to re-home them.  But back to Sheba.  At that time, we thought she would be a good fit as a second house dog.  Her owners came a...

In today’s edition of "Friday Focus", we will do a Cartoon Alter Ego.  This being another re-post about Demon.

From the very beginning, Demon has been tough to figure out.  He certainly hasn’t lived up to his name!  He has always had a very “standoffish” behavior.  Even as a puppy, Demon preferred to be off on his own, and rarely get involved in the running around with the others.  He would on occasion, but mostly he prefers to sit back and watch.  The only theory I can come up with ...

Akira came to us in the fall of 2009, after a friend of a friend could no longer care for her.  They came for a visit to see how well she would get along with the others, and at first it seemed there would be no issues.  We decided to take her in, and we put her with the others.  It didn’t take long for us to realize however, that Akira was different from any Husky we have or have ever met.  She was very timid, and wanted nothing to do with the others.  The others (especially Daisie) se...

I've decided to add the Cartoon Alter Egos to the Friday Focus category.  Seems to be a better fit.  :-)
Today, I will start by re-posting the very first one, Denali.  Those of you that have read this one, please bear with us as others catch up.

Denali’s chosen alter ego is the bumble snow monster from the classic seasonal cartoon “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer”.  Besides the obvious fact that they are both white, they shared other similar qualities.  In the beginning of the cartoon, bu...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 6…Peyton

Like I mentioned last week in the segment focusing on Miya, we decided to expand the pack, and found Miya and her sister Peyton.  They both came to us around Christmas of 2010.  While Miya has the ice blue eyes, Peyton had deep brown eyes.  It was quite a noticeable contrast from the start. The other big difference was the personality.  Miya seemed more playful, and Peyton seemed more relaxed.  As a puppy, she was more content on your lap than any...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 5…Miya

Miya came to us around Christmas of 2010, along with her sister Peyton.  After the original 5, we decided that it truly was our destiny to be breeders of this magnificent dog.  Our combination of God-given talents made us suitors to take on the responsibility of helping others enjoy the Husky.  It was time to expand the pack and Miya and Peyton were the perfect additions.  Miya is a beautiful gray and white Siberian Husky with ice blue eyes.  She ha...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 4…Denali and Demon

In today’s edition of “Friday Focus”, we will focus on both Demon and Denali.  Since they are brothers, their stories are similar.   In February of 2009, we started looking to expand the pack by adding another male.  We wanted to stay with AKC, and in our searches we found Denali and Demon.   We were actually looking for a black and white Husky, and found Demon.  When we went to pick him up, we discovered that an all-white Husky wa...

Today is Akira’s turn for a Cartoon Alter Ego.  Akira came to us via rescue in 2009.  Her previous owners brought her to us when one became allergic.  Originally, we put her with the other dogs in the stalls, but realized quickly that she was not fitting in.  Her extremely friendly and timid nature did not mesh well with the others who wanted to play aggressively.  At the time, we had no Huskies in the house, and decided she would be a good fit there.  Now 5 years old, Akira has become a ...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 3…Daisie

Daisie was our third Siberian Husky, and our first AKC Pedigree.  She came to us in July of 2008.  We quickly learned that her personality was a bit different than Holly and Brutus.  She was more moody, aggressive (toward other animals only), and domineering.  Daisie and Holly have always seemed to be in competition with each other over human attention.  If one is getting it, the other comes running.  Unlike Holly, Daisie has a desire to be a lapd...

Our segment today in “Cartoon Alter Egos” will focus on Kallen.  Kallen is about a year and a half old, but still very much in the puppy stage.  I guess you could say he is a dog teenager.  While most Husky puppies are very playful and bounce around a lot, Kallen seems to have it down to a science!  To Denali, Demon, and the older females, he is the “annoying little brother” that always wants to hang out with the big kids.  To Nadia and Chance, he is the “mean older brother” and i...

Meet the Siberian Huskies…Part 2…Brutus

After Holly, we truly realized how much we loved the Siberian Husky Breed.  We decided it was time to expand the pack.  Our second Siberian Husky was Brutus.  Brutus was our only CKC registered Husky.  CKC is the “Continental Kennel Club”.  We really didn’t know the ins and outs of kennel clubs at the time, so we didn’t think it made much of a difference.  Holly was non-registered, and we were wanting to be certain all of them from that p...

It's time for another "Cartoon Alter Ego."  Today Chance gets the nod.  Most of our readers know of the issues that Chance has had to deal with throughout his young life.  He is the son of Holly and Kallen, born 3-18-13.  He was one of 10, which is a very large litter.  Chance was born with a condition called a “Persistent Right Aortic Arch”.  Basically, this means his esophagus was wound with a band of tissue that prevented anything but liquids from going down.  Surgery was needed to c...

Meet the Siberian Huskies…Part 1…Holly

Our first Siberian Husky was Holly.  To this day, she is our most active and athletic dog.  We noticed early on that that she also seemed to take charge when out playing.  Whenever she runs, the others tend to follow her.  She seems a natural leader.  My belief is she would make a great lead dog on a sled team.   Holly is also very smart tends to be stubborn.  She is without a doubt, our chief escape artist.  Since Siberian Huskies love to run so ...
