Canberra Pet Expo 9 September 2006

Well we started early to get Faith a good solid wash at the local hydrobath, to make her presentable and smelling pretty. We arrived with both Tosh and Faith at about 10am and by the time we had a quick walk around Richard and Mara had already rehomed Faith! Over the course of the Saturday the Siberian Stand was one of the busiest stands in the pavilion and it was great to chat with so many people interested in Siberians. Tosh had the pleasure of hanging out with his father Duncan (Aust & Am Ch Highlander's Duncan Macleod) and his friend Criket (Tarshona Black Magic) another result of breeding US imports. Tosh was the only chocolate Siberian there, and while he was with the rescue dogs, I received way too many 'is the chocolate one available for adoption?'

Bitch Hunting

Well the Ministry for War and Finance has finally approved our application for a female to accompany our two and a half year old male, Tosh. If you are a reputable breeder, and have a grey/white or black/white purebred siberian female, and are looking for a racing home please contact us. We are looking for a bitch between the age of about 9 months and no older than three years. Health is important, as well as a companion for our boy, she will also be a running partner. Happy to entertain co-ownership type arrangments for breeders wishing to retain breeding rights etc

Minding Faith

Over the last few weeks we have had the absolute pleasure of minding a rescue siberian for our friends over at Mikulov Siberians. Richard and Mara are very involved in the rescue program for the NSW Siberian Husky Club.

While they have been away on holidays, we have been looking after Faith. Faith is a friendly. affectionate female Siberian with some special needs. Faith has epilepsy, is a little overweight and is missing some patches of her coat. during her stay we have slimmed her down a bit, and given her some exercise and a bit of TLC.

Faith's epilepsy is not a huge problem, and the bad state of her coat is probably a reaction to something, but more likely stress from the rehoming process. She is a loverly dog, who would do well with a home where should could get plenty of human interaction. She is quite fond of watching TV on the lounge. Not for a home with cats unfortunately (we learnt the hard way), but would get on well with children.

Faith will be appearing at the Pet Expo at Exhibition Park in Canberra with Richard and Mara, and will hopefully find a new home. If you would like to know more about Faith, are interested in a rescue siberian, or would like to help out please contact us.

More details can be found on the Rescue sections of the Mikulov page, or the NSW Siberian Husky Club. She is listed as 'Faye'.
