We do recreational sledding. This is great exercise for the dogs and for us. :) Although we have done this for several years, I still consider myself a novice, but it is very fun. Sledding is what these dogs were originally bred to do and you can see how much they love it.   

 I spend a great deal of time learning pedigrees, going over dogs, talking, and learning from those in my breed and those outside it. When I have a litter, I raise each pup as if I gave birth to them and spend an equal amount of time finding them loving forever homes if they will not be staying with us. I only bring puppies into this world that I think will be the healthiest (mentally and physically) and best examples of their breed. I support each family who chooses one of our puppies and let them know they are now a part of our extended family.

I am there if one needs to come back and will aggressively pursue the return of one of my dogs if it is in a bad situation. I support my breed in rescue and education. I hold pups when they arrive (are born into this world) and when, in later years, they leave this world. I share my knowledge with others and am proud to have mentored a few wonderful young women. We socialize our dogs so that they will be the advertisement for my dedication. I don't keep track of the money and time I put into my love of dogs because it would never be a true measure of how I feel about this fantastic breed.

The price I charge for my puppies is never profit, but investment in the next generation. I work hard at being good at what I do and encourage others. I am a Show person, a sledder, a breeder and I am proud of it. If we don't support each other - we are doomed as a fancy.
