I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Rusty River Huskies. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about their dogs. The care and attention they give to their breeding program is evident in the health, temperament, and socialization of the puppies.
Our new pup, Mesa, has been an absolute joy—healthy, well-adjusted, and full of personality. It’s clear that Rusty River Huskies puts a lot of love and effort into raising their dogs in a nurturing environment. They also provided us with detailed guidance and support throughout the adoption process, which made everything smooth and reassuring.
Since losing our previous Husky, Kojax, earlier this year, we were ready to move forward with welcoming a new furry friend to our family. We have two young children, 6 and 9yrs old and wanted to give them the experience I had growing up with a dog. Mesa fits in perfectly with our family and is great with our kids.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rusty River Huskies to anyone looking for a responsible, ethical, and caring breeder. They truly go above and beyond!

Brooke was very responsive and knowledge about the breed. You can tell that she really cares for her dogs. She stayed in touch and sent me regular updates about my puppy. The special touch of a take home bag with puppy basics, a blanket of mom's scent and the important paperwork was an added touch of love that she shows to her puppies and new families ! I am so glad I found Brooke through Good Dog and I couldn't be happier with Bleu (now known as Nova) !

I recently got my Siberian Husky puppy Maverick, from Brooke - Rusty River Huskies, and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From my very first contact with her, Brooke was friendly, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the breed. She made the process simple and stress-free, answering all of my questions and providing helpful guidance along the way.
It was clear Brooke really cares about her dogs and raises them in a loving, well-socialized environment. Maverick came home healthy, happy and already full of personality. He's absolutely beautiful and such a joy to have in my life. I can't thank Brooke enough for her professionalism, honesty, and dedication as a breeder. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a quality Husky puppy. Thank you Brooke.

She's the best i could have asked for, we drove 6+ hours from 2 states away to meet our Maeva when she was about 8 weeks and knew it was exactly what we wanted. Brooke met us out front and got to spend a bit over a hour with her the first time. Was zero pressure to buy and was completely focused on the questions we had and making sure she was going to have a good loving home. In the month between then and 12 weeks pickup we got pictures about every week and a response in less then 24 hours each time. Always super nice and super helpful. Maeva was already into her training upon pick up and has been able to sleep though most nights peacefully without any potty breaks. She didnt howl or throw a fit on the drive home. Can be touched and pet anywhere including each paw, tail, ears and mouth even when eating. Isn't food aggressive and doesn't hoard resources at all. Took her to the vet for a checkup as soon as we got into town and vet was impressed by the amount of shots she had already received and got a clean bill of health. All in all our little Maeva is exactly what we wanted and so much better behaved then had any reasonable expectations of. I have been and will continue to praise Brooke for being a fantastic breeder.
