Frost Valley Siberians

I have to warn you that huskies completely take over your life. So be careful as you look into owning one, soon they own your heart and you could very well end up with what I call multiple husky syndrome. I spend a lot of time with my Siberians. In fact, I can never go on vacation or date nights because of the constant care and attention that they need. But, I love it and wouldn’t have it any othe

r way. My own journey with the Siberian husky breed started when I was working at a doggy daycare. At the time I have never owned a purebred husky. I did own a half Husky half Saint Bernard but he had all the husky traits so I learned faster about the husky breed. Longer I worked at the daycare and the more huskies came in the more I fell in love with them and the breed. So I did my research on the breed and what was needed to own one. One of the things I loved most about the breed is that they are a challenge and I love a challenge. I did my research before owning my first husky. Finally got my first husky April 2014. I never really knew much about the world of show dogs. I have watched some videos online and my favorite movie was “Best in Show.” The first time I went to a dog show was in May 2016 and I fell in love with all the dogs and showing. I got to talk to a few people about showing and breeding. I started to gain knowledge on how important health testing your dogs is and about the Standards of the Breed. Also with the help from some mentors, I have learned that showing my Siberians is a great way to improve on what I am doing. If you are looking for a healthy husky with an amazing outstanding temperament, look no further. My huskies rule my heart & my home. I pride on raising very healthy huskies that come from champion lines. All of my huskies will stay with me for their lifetime in my home. I am not an industrial kennel where dogs are locked outdoors to be used just for breeding. They are family to me. My pack is my passion and I truly love each one of them like they are my own children. I have spent countless hours researching the best ways to give puppies an optimal start to life so they leave healthy, well rounded, and ready to join their families. My puppies are raised inside in my home. My dams are never exposed to radiation through unnecessary X-rays for puppy counts that would increase their lifetime risk of cancer. I do everything to make sure they start out healthy and can share the next 12-15+ years with you. I am happy to provide reputable references; I like to stay very close to the families who are raising one or more of my huskies. My dams never go through Labor alone. I stay with them all night and support them, watching for any issues. They are in a comfortable place with me by their side. I help each and every puppy that is born and make sure they are breathing, moving and eating. I take pride in taking care and loving my puppies. I bond very closely with each puppy from the day they are born. Once puppies are born and have spent some time with their mother for couple days. I do daily exercises with each puppy. There are four exercises I do with each pup every day. First by starting out by playing with their feet. I want the puppies to get used to their feet being touched and handled so that it makes it easier to clip puppy’s nails and handle their feet. Second by then using both hands, the pup is held perpendicular to the ground, (straight up), so that its head is directly above its tail. This is an upwards position. Third I have their head pointed down - holding the pup firmly with both hands the head is reversed and is pointed downward so that it is pointing towards the ground. Fourth I hold the pup so that its back is resting in the palm of both my hands with its muzzle facing the ceiling. While doing this I allow the pup to sleep. I do all four of these exercises once per day for no more than five seconds. I believe it helps puppies have a better circulation and will help with handling them better along the way. Once puppies get older I continue to rub and handle their feet. Also start to touch every part of their body so they’re not worried or stressed about it when they get older. When I wean the puppies I make them all eat together to help prevent any food aggression along the way. I watch each puppy to make sure that they all ate or got enough to eat. While they are eating I put my hand in food dish and mess with their mouth. This also helps with preventing food aggression. I do this till they leave my home. About two weeks before puppies have to go to their new homes I work on collar and leashing training. I mainly use a harness because I don’t want to hurt the puppy’s necks since most of them don’t like it. I care and love my puppies so much is why I do require that a puppy application to be completed in order to be considered for one of my puppies. Witch I would love the opportunity to stay connected with the families of my puppies whenever possible.
