Please see below for some of our most frequently asked questions.
What is your adoption process?
We prefer a personal approach and getting to know a bit about the families our puppies are going to. We love to hear about you and your experience with or knowledge about huskies, a little about your lifestyle and what sort of home you would offer a husky. Our only objective is to make sure you are fully prepared for the energy, love, and long term commitment of these incredible dogs. In return we are happy to answer any questions you have. We are here for the lifetime of the dog.
Once we have established this is truly the right choice for you, then you are free to put down a deposit on any available puppies. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable to a future litter, and may be made via PayPal or Venmo in the amount of $500, or in person if you are visiting the puppies and make your selection then. Deposits are applied to the cost of the puppy, and the remaining balance is due at the time of puppy pick up.
I want to pick out my puppy in person before I put down a deposit. When can I visit the puppies?
It is recommended by most veterinarians, and we strictly abide by this, that outside visitors wait until at least 5 weeks of age to interact with the puppies. This limits the litter’s exposure to unfamiliar pathogens, allows their immune systems to develop, and they get to mature to a point where they are eager to interact with people.
We do make puppies available for adoption well before five weeks, so it sometimes happens that they are all adopted before we invite visitors. To help in the selection process we post plenty of photos and are happy to answer any questions you might have about any of them.
At five weeks of age, (or any time after), adoptive families are welcome to come visit their puppy, or if any are still available for adoption, serious interested parties may come visit at that time.
What do you provide with the puppy purchase price?
Prior to leaving the puppies receive a vet checkup and vaccinations. They cannot leave before this vet checkup! And we will not release a puppy unless it receives a perfect health check from our licensed veterinarian. Puppies also come with their AKC registration papers, vet record, signed purchase agreement, and plenty of other resources to get you started.
Do you offer Full AKC Registration rights?
Sorry, no. We work very hard to establish quality breeding practices with outstanding huskies who meet the breed standard and are excellent in conformation, temperament, and lifelong health with no known genetic disorders. Before breeding we spent many years working with huskies as active companions to fully understand their characteristics, demands, incredible abilities, and even their shortcomings. This is something we take very seriously and share a trust with the AKC and other highly experienced and reputable Siberian Husky breeders, and breeding rights are not something we hand over unless with a partnering kennel. Our puppies are for pet homes only and they are required to be spayed/neutered. This is also important for the health and longevity of the dog.
What puppy food do you recommend?
There are so many high quality foods out there nowadays. We personally like a high end, good quality food, and there are lots to choose from. Our puppies are fed Taste of the Wild – Bison and Venison dry puppy formula. It seems to be a favorite for our weening puppies with a very easy to eat kibble and it’s easy on the digestion. We are happy to provide a small bag of their current food when they leave regardless of which food you choose to go with in your home.
Please note that a high quality food is very important for a puppy’s development. The first year is especially critical as they grow so quickly, and a good food has complete nutrition and DHA for proper growth.
