Nenana
This is Nenana Nightshadow.She is registered AKC and we are going to breed her for pure bred puppies.These pictures were taken 2/03/07.She is very inter"jet"ic!If you decide you want to get a Siberian Husky be prepared for holes in the yard and their escape attempts.Brace yourself for when they run into you and try to knock you down(personal experience).They are also known for their eye and hip problems.They also love to chew on sticks and plastic but mine have been known to chew through chain link fence.Siberian Huskies come in an assortment of fur colors and eye colors and eye color mixtures.Siberian Huskies were made famous for the antitoxin run during the diphtheria outbreak in Nome Alaska with the famous Balto as the lead dog.Nenana was a small town where the sled dogs picked up the antitoxin from a train to carry it back to Nome.That is what Nenana is named after.
Siberian Huskies are made for extreme cold temperatures and snow.If you do get huskies and decide to become a musher make sure you check their feet for ice buildup and wounds.It is best if you equip your dogs with special made boots for sled dogs.Huskies are very intelligent and vocal.Sometimes it almost sounds like they want to talk to you.When training sled dogs,if their is no snow,they can pull ATVs and specially made carts over dry land and can be done with as few as 2 dogs.Sled teams are usually made up of 7-12 dogs and can have 1-2 lead dogs in front.The 2 dogs in the back by the sled are called the wheel dogs.Your strongest dogs should go there.Some people use Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies on the same team.The huskies are good runners and leaders but the Malamutes are made more for endurance and weight pulling.Malamutes are more muscular and bulky than the slender,light Huskies.It is best to train Huskies for sledding at about 6 weeks starting with getting them used to the harness.
Theses are pictures of Nenana's mom and dad.
Their will be more updates on Nenana and more pictures to come.
