McCracken's Huskies

We are currently in the midst of our last 3 litters for the year.   So far, Nanook and Shalimar have both delivered their puppies with no complications whatsoever and Sasha is due in a week.    I am enjoying every single second with these puppies as far too soon they will be going to new homes and will be incredibly missed.   

I am so pleased with the quality of these puppies and have spent hours sitting quietly observing the dynamics of the litters.   So much can be learned from simple observation and it is a joy to watch them grow up.   Nanook's litter has playtime daily now in the living room and are discovering toys, textures, new smells, belly rubs and romping as fast as little chubby legs will allow.   Shalimar's litter has just reached the point where they will start their bio sensor exercises and are content now to cuddle up with Shalimar and nurse to their hearts content.  

Over the next few weeks I will be finalizing our future breeding plans for next year.   We have several up and coming stars in our pack who will have their first litters this next year.   Katinka is Leo and Miracle's daughter and it has truly been a joy to watch her grow up in our home.   Leo's daughters tend to be "talkers", both Katinka and little Sophia (his daughter with Shalimar) do their best to carry on conversations with us constantly!    Katinka is her father all over again.   A beautiful build on this girl, with a stunning coat and grace that is just beautiful to watch.   She will be bred next year with Yuri who has proven to be an amazing sire with this first litter of puppies he's had with Nanook.  

Tatiana is another upcoming star in our kennel who came from Iowa and has been Katinka's best playmate since they were very small.   It is wonderful to see these two girls romp and play and chase balls, tug with ropes and leap on top of their doghouses, toppling them constantly.   Today's goal is to strap these houses down so we don't have to constantly fix them.   Faith Ann is queen of their little group and could not be happier with this arrangement.   She is probably half their size, but being a couple years older, keeps the girls in line beautifully and the respect they give her is just wonderful.   

We also have the exciting news of FINALLY ADDING A STUNNING WHITE FEMALE to our pack!!!!   I have searched far and long for a white female and was thrilled to find this beautiful girl in Louisiana who is so beautiful she reaches right out and grabs your heart.!   A beautiful plush coat, ice blue eyes and the most incredible structure I've seen in ages.   This little girl is going to be spoiled rotten!!!!   Pictures coming soon as she is arriving tomorrow night!  Many thanks to Val and Dana for this beautiful girl!!!!
