I have always been an animal person, from the day I could walk and talk, I loved animals. Some of my earliest memories revolved around our old family mutt or the barn cat we had when I was six. Around the age of eight I asked for my own dog (by then our mutt had passed of old age)- It was a no. My mother wasn't really a dog person so she got me a cat. I loved that cat but I still begged and begged for a dog. It took me three long years of begging before she gave in. It wasn't a planned new addition. We were visiting a relative one August morning and we walked into her house to see a little pair of puppies- Just fourteen weeks old. We all can likely guess how my mother held up to those puppy eyes. This little mutt became known as Chinook (I wanted a unique name). Now, around the time Chinook was two he started settling down enough that another puppy seemed like more than just a dream. I was infatuated with huskies. Their blue eyes and shiny beautiful coats and their talking. My mom agreed- under one condition- We had to move first. So that's what we did. We moved out and bought a puppy along with our new house. This was Whisper. She was a black and white, blue eyed, Siberian husky. I was enamored. After a couple months with Whisper I started researching breeding. I learned so much that I even decided I wanted to delve into the dog world. But, there was one catch- I had to do health checks that would be able to be done until she was 12-24 months old. Now, that was a ton of time to wait. But I waited. Miss Whisper is now nearly three years old and will be bred later this year. Since we got Whisper we've also added a young male puppy (Cinder). We'll see where it goes from here.
