As you may have noticed, I am fond of Siberian Huskies. You may have gathered that by the number of pics I have of them on my profile. All of those that are on my profile, are of dogs I have seen on line. I was collecting pictures of them in order to see if I had a certain pattern I enjoyed the most. Many of them are an "open" face pattern, but in the long run, I don't think it mattered.

They are a most remarkable breed.
I have been searching on line now for weeks, but without too much luck. There are a number of breeders on line, but nothing just jumped out at me.

Yesterday, while looking through our local paper, I happened to see an ad for Sibs right here in our own hometown. I was pretty sceptical , but I gave them a call and went for a visit.I stopped and picked up the boy on the way.....he is just about to turn 15, and I figure he deserved a buddy that could actually give him a run for his money!

Two litters, a week apart, 8 males, two females to choose from. Holy smokes!

We got over to the kennel, and they let all the puppies out at once. What great fun. In the course of the hour and a half we spent playing with them all, I must of tied my shoes 600 times. Why do puppies love shoelaces?


Both parents on site....Daddy is a magnificent animal. They let him out into the yard, ( and keep in mind, there is snow on the ground, wind is blowing, and it is around 18 degrees.) and this beautiful creature came bounding up to us both, stood on his hind legs and gave us each a big lick in the face, while never laying a paw on either one of us. He moved like liquid motion.....powerful, and always with the Siberian "smile".....his coat was thick and incredibly soft.

Momma is straight from Siberia. Another beautiful dog, large but not nearly as large as Dad. She is white.

After playing with the Dad for a while, we made our way back to the puppies.
Going back and forth and back and forth....we finally settled on our guy.
He is gonna be a monster, just like his daddy.
I would post a picture, and will I am sure, but for now he looks exactly like the one I have up as my profile picture. And in fact, did the very same thing with his water this morning as the stinker in the picture.

So....this morning, while the boy is in school.....Little Sh*t is with me here in the shop. He is a star already....a real chick magnet!
He needs a name as you can see!
I am taking any suggestions! Feel free to throw one at me!

We are going up on the mountain this weekend and watch the dog sled races and get to know some like minded folks. I already have plans drawn up for the kennel I will be building this spring and plan on talking with folks up there who might have some cool ideas.

This may not end with just one. We will see.

So there ya have it ....the news from Lake Damnitscoldhere. Where the women are freezing, the men are a bit chilly, and the children are frozen in time..

Mush you Huskies!
