Update:
Dewi's heat started a month later than expected and she was in heat during my work trip to abroad. The breeding plan is postponed to 2025. ***PLANNED 2024*** Winter Wind's Pluto x Levajok's Cherry I've been cautiously dreaming of Dewi's offspring ever since I put her in harness for the first time. Already at that time I had to put her in lead and that have been her position in my team ever since. Dewi ran her first race last fall as a guest dog in wheel at Alma Off Snow. All we got from that trip was a nice weekend in good company, valuable racing experience. Because of other problems within the team the result was REK0, 4th out of total of 6 teams. However, Dewi's performance as a guest was pleasing, all the dogs in the team were strangers to her. During the whole weekend, she was completely herself, ate and drank well, was calm in the stake-out and slept in the car. On her father's side, Dewi has American and Canadian MD and LD dogs. On her mother's side, there is more classic Nordic lineage. Dewi is linebred to two great dogs, Blizzard Run Sibersong Kadee and Northwapiti's Lincoln at Kelim. For a year, I regularly and irregularly browsed pedigrees and what kind of litter I would like to have out of her. Due Dewi is SHPN1 carrier, I was primarily looking for a dog in who's pedigree would not be known to have this same risk, so I set my eyes on Finnish males. I once again took my aunt as a helping hand and asked her opinion about the pedigrees that interested me. |
After much thought and, frankly, browsing through hundreds of pedigrees, Riitta gave the green light to this combination and I ended up asking Krista Kanerva (kennel Winter Wind's) for more information about two brothers she have bred and raised. Krista talked openly about the boys and honestly also told why she would choose the other one over other. Together with Krista and Riitta, we ended up at Winter Wind's Pluto.
Pluto has six REK1 (excellent) results from MD races and he run also as a safari dog at the Kuusamo Husky Fun safari. He mainly runs in a team, but also as a leader on safaris. Pluto has two "Excellents" in the dogs shows, both in Siberian Husky Speciality.
According to Krista, Pluto is a main dog at the races and has never had problems . He is always excellent eater and drinker, would gladly eat also other dogs' food. In general, Pluto is calm and peaceful, never restless or agitated in any situation. He is tough-tempered and self-respecting.
By lineage Pluto strongly represents Finland and the Nordic countries. Pluto's dam Trip has run in the 2018 World Championships in Sweden to 2nd place in the MD. Father Ronin have run as a race leader in a team that include mostly Alaskan huskies.
Based on the parents, I would expect the puppies to be smart, calm dogs that work in a harness and have great self-esteem. The combination is primarily for my own use, any "extra" puppies are only sold to working homes.
Pluto is tested as negative for SHPN1 and SPS1 genes. All the puppies will be tested for these genes before going new homes.
This combination is supposed to fulfill in the spring/summer, if heat schedule allows it.
