Meet Our Boys
Our males are an important part of Thistle Hill.
They are raised in our home and valued for their temperament, structure, and presence. While we continue to work with select outside studs to strengthen and diversify our program, the dogs we keep here shape our daily lives and the future of Thistle Hill.

Name: IntCH North Star's Jacques Cartier (Jacques)
Status: Upcoming
Titles: IntCH, MBPIS, Int/Nat/HnrSRCH, Int/Nat/HnrBACH, AKC Major Pointed
Description:
Jacques is an exceptional young male who combines presence, structure, and temperament in a way that immediately draws attention. From the moment he entered the ring, he stood out for his effortless movement, confident carriage, and natural showmanship. He has already earned multiple international titles and is just one major away from completing his AKC Championship, accomplishments that reflect both his quality and consistency at a young age.
What sets Jacques apart is his balance. He is eye catching in the ring, yet calm and composed outside of it. While many Siberian Huskies can be vocal or excitable in busy environments, Jacques remains quiet and steady, turning on his charm and animation only when it is time to work. That ability to shift seamlessly between relaxed companion and focused show dog is something we value deeply.
At home, Jacques is affectionate, playful, and endearingly goofy. He is easy to live with, socially appropriate with other dogs, and has a naturally sweet, people oriented temperament. His confidence never tips into pushiness, and his demeanor makes him a joy both in daily life and in structured settings.
Jacques will be used thoughtfully within our breeding program. He has already sired one exceptional litter, and we plan to repeat that pairing with Revi, as well as a complementary breeding to Islay. Beyond that, he will not be overused. We continue to value outside studs and believe careful, selective use is essential for long term program success.
What excites us most about Jacques is his ability to pass on presence, structure, and temperament together. He has a star quality that cannot be taught, paired with a personality that makes him genuinely easy to love. Jacques represents an exciting part of Thistle Hill’s future, and we look forward to watching both his career and his offspring continue to develop.
