Ziggy is about the sweetest thing on the planet. Nearly 9years old, this little cutie has lead countless tours in Oregon and Alaska, participated in local sprint races, given us 8 pups and has made friends with every human she ever met. She is now retired, trustworthy off leash and spayed. Now Ziggy is ready for a forever home with or without other dogs.

The first observation, most of our guests and passersby make is, “ these aren’t huskies! ” “these don’t look like real sled dogs“ or “you don’t use the real traditional sled dogs .” This is because most people picture the Huskies as seen in movies or paintings. That is of course the modern day Siberian husky. Well, these are beautiful dogs I present to you this picture of the famous Balto. He was a Siberian husky nearly 100 years ago you’ll see how the breed has evolved to to fit a certain “traditional“ look. And if you go on to read the article, you’ll see that the dogs we use have a great deal in common with Balto genetically.

The genome of the 1920s Siberian husky Balto suggests that greater genetic diversity and less inbreeding contribute to better health

Fun fact – VO2 max is defined as the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise. The average male aged 20-29 has a VO2 max of 44 to 51 and the average female aged 20-29 has a VO2 max of 35 to 43. Lance Armstrong's VO2 max was 85. The highest ever recorded VO2 max is 96 ml/kg/min, attributed to Bjørn Dæhlie. Elite sprint racing sled dogs have been tested and achieved a VO2 max of 240 ml/kg/min. Pictured is Kati Dagenais' champion sprint dog gulping in maximum oxygen. https://howlingdogalaska.com/collections/harnesses/products/light-weight-harness
