Farstrider Sleddogs

A bit about myself and the dogs: I keep a *very* small kennel in the northern hinterland area of the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. I never let my total number of dogs go over 20, and I aim for an ideal small team of 5-8 healthy adults to keep here for the small teams I like to run. Anything beyond that, I place pups with proper working (sledding) homes either competitively or recreationally - but I breed only very rarely! I choose to run small back country teams because its the kind of mushing that I feel connected to and that I feel fulfils my dog's purpose and strengths.

I began with Alaskan village dogs (modernly known as Alaskan Huskies) of a more traditional Northern type than the racing dogs typically seen today in mid-distance and even long-distance kennels. One of my first dogs, Mirku, actually came directly from a native family in one of the villages here. Around 1 year ago I was contacted by a former training partner, Ace from Hootalinqua, Yukon Territory in Canada asking if I could take one of his female Seppala Siberian Sleddogs, a rare strain Breed descended from the original bloodlines that gave way to the Siberian Husky. I accepted, and a short time later I received a letter from another musher asking about a possible leased litter for a stud service. Instead of leasing my girl Tikna out for the stud owner, I offered to house her while she whelped the litter in exchange for one pup back of the litter. That began my very small forre into breeding Seppalas, and I have fallen in love and plan to keep them on my team with my Alaskans always!

A Grand Seppala Welcome to our Newcomers!
I am beyond excited to welcome 4 beautiful new Seppalas from Starry's Dawn Chorus kennel: Ashe, Wolf, Zukala, and Spidops - Starry is one of the most prolific Seppala breeders, and her lines are an amazing addition to my Seppala program. I have also welcomed two Seppala sisters from a recent litter at LupaTricia's Husky Farm: Suka and Sessi. I look forward to seeing their future on our teams! In addition to these youngsters, I've also imported two male Seppala studs from project founder Lainar; Pedro and Divers. These boys come from a rare bloodline established by former Seppala breeder Petra, so they are a precious genetic resource to the breed and to our kennel.

If you are interested in puppies from my dogs, message me as soon as you are sure - I breed only once in a rare blue moon and often have pups spoken for far in advance!
