Willow Windz Farm History
We have worked with dogs for most of our lives and have had many different types of dog breeds. Since the early 1990's we started out the same way most Dog Sledders start. We had a team of mongrels, meaning nothing that really looked like a sled dog a real Motley Crue and did not get very far on the trail. I watched dog sledding on T.V. and thought all dog sled teams were pure bred and this is how it was. I learned from some of the best in the country. They gave me a lot of good pointers working with the (Alaskan Husky). I did not like the Alaskan Husky (husky, houndX) and wanted to breed my own type of dog. I wanted to keep the Husky look, make it better for pulling heavy loads, a fast, sturdy (draft) dog.
The history behind my kennel dates back 30 years and the dogs that I have bred can date back some 150+ years with the Canadian Eskimo Dog we now have. In the beginning we had pure bred Siberian Huskies. We just did not get the performance that we were watching at events and hearing about. I bought a male and female Malamute, Siberian cross (TUNDRA,NAKUTA) and 2 female Siberian Huskies (ARCTIC & ALASKA) and 2 males (BOU,KODIAK). These Siberians were not from show stock they were beautiful dogs, long legs, small head, light b***d and a short loin. Tundra and Nukutta were heavy b***d (125 lbs.) strong, small head for big dogs, they had long legs and a short loin. I say beautiful because show dog types have been destroyed by making them with short legs and big heads. This is not what a Siberian Husky looks like. Look up on Google (Leonard Supalla)1rst Sibs to North America. When we finally bred them, we were amazed when the pups were older (2 months old) how well they moved and stepped so light. Four years later we placed second and third at the Kearney Dog Sled Races. Tundra and Nakutas great grandfather a pure bred Giant Alaskan Malamute was a three time weight pull champion of Ontario in the late 1970's. Arctic and Alaska were from a touring kennel in Northern Ontario. We bred what is called a Hybrid Vigor meaning to have two of the same type of breeds in a dog, we did not stop there however.
In 2007 we were looking for a third breed to add to our lines that would produce a Hybrid Vigor Husky. We came across an ad that a man was selling his team of Canadian Eskimo Dogs. We picked these dogs up in Thunder Bay. One of these dogs (GLORIA) ran to the North Pole in 2005 and the dogs were right out of the Pond Inlet. These Eskimos are smaller than there High Northern Cousins that can reach up to 200lbs. The Canadian Eskimo should not be confused with the American Eskimo, there is a big difference, size is one, colour is another. I would like you to view these videos (Peary North Pole Expedition 2005) one of my dogs is on that team, Eskimo Dogs playing with Polar Bears. The Canadian Eskimo Dog is the only breed that can handle a Polar Bear, just the way the dogs are acting around the bears, and not acting nuts like most dogs would. We think the Canadian Eskimo is a mysterious breed. The Inuit have some amazing stories to tell about this dog you can also research. This breed unfortunately may also be dying out.
We have ran our dogs on snowmobile trails and at Winter Carnivals. Huskies as a breed are not vicious dogs they are quite out going. They like to communicate by some howls, yelps or light growls, this is normal Husky communication and should not be confused as vicious behavior. Some are more head strong than others, some do not want to be hugged and fused over, this is normal. Most of the time they want you to work them. The breed that we have bred are all Husky. Working them in some way will not hurt them. At the time you decide you want a Husky you should know what you want to do with it. Some of our clients Ski-Jor with their dog, some run them beside their bikes, some go hiking and camping. Our dogs that we have bred can do all this and more. Temperament is very sound and do very well in the family household.
