Q. & A. with Anika
Why did you start breeding?
It all started with mushing! Running with a team of sled dogs was a lifelong dream and so I began that journey shortly after college by acquiring a few top quality pure bred huskies and breeding them to form my first team. It was never for competitive sledding but just the sheer joy of being out with my pack and doing what we all love to do, run the trails! Breeding became a passion from that.
What makes your program special?
We start with beautifully tempered adult breeders who exhibit all the ideal attributes of the breed standard. Our dogs are an integral part of the family and all our puppies are raised by our side and underfoot from day one. Their young development and exposure to family life is integral in their transition to their new homes and enduring longevity as beloved companions and adventuring partners.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
