We are so proud that the Siberian Huskies ancestors were developed by the Chukchi, a tribe of native people in the eastern Siberia of Russia. The Siberians thick, luxurious double coat, pleasant personality, and love of action make him well-suited for the climate of cold of Arctic winters and for his labor as draft dog, guardian, and family companion. The Chukchi developed the progenitor of today's Siberian Husky, eventually producing a medium-sized dog that could work in a team, pull moderate loads, and complete the job with minimum energy expense. Siberian Huskies made their debut in Alaska with dog musher Leonard Seppala early in the 20th century. Several of Seppala's Siberians were part of the heroic team that rushed life-saving diphtheria serum the last miles to Nome, Alaska, in 1925. Balto, the lead dog in that team, is memorialized with a statue in New York's Central Park. In 1930, the breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club. Todays well-bred Siberian Husky maintains the personality, the stamina, and the courage of his ancestors, but he is more playmate than guardian and is not a watchdog. The Siberian temperament is outgoing, friendly, and gentle. The Siberian Husky makes a fine family pet. Although generally healthy, the Siberian Husky is subject to hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (a genetic eye disease), cataracts, corneal disorders, thyroid deficiency, and zinc-deficiency disease. Buyers should therefore beware of backyard breeders and pet stores whose breeding stock has not been found free of hip dysplasia and tested for PRA and thyroid diseases. A health guarantee means nothing if the breeding stock has not been tested. Poor breeding also has caused temperament problems in Siberians; in addition to being poor physical specimens, pet store puppies may be high-strung and hyperactive, difficult to housetrain, and very tough to obedience train. Our kennel is the only kennel in Russia which issues a written guarantee for our puppies’ health and quality. We have nice stock from healthy show quality dogs.
