Why This Pairing
Revi and Jacques each bring something the other doesn't have, and together they target the moderate, balanced Siberian the breed standard was written around. Both carry strong fronts. Revi brings overall structural balance and athleticism. Jacques brings expression, reach and side gait. Temperamentally, Jacques contributes a more considered, thoughtful presence alongside the higher energy and quick minds Revi consistently passes to her offspring.
​
For a family bringing one of these puppies home, that translates into a dog that is athletic and engaged without being overwhelming, trainable without being dull, and structurally sound for the long term.
Meet the Dam - Revi
Revi is agouti and white with heterochromia eyes that always get a second look when people meet her.
​
She carries old working lines and that heritage shows up in how she moves, how she thinks, and how she approaches the world. She came to our program initially to be shown, and ended up joining the family. Her show career had a much later start while we took the time to ensure she was mentally and physically prepared for it. Today she approaches the ring with so much enthusiasm that arriving at the venue usually brings her announcement to everyone that she has arrived.
​
Her show career officially started with IABCA where she earned her National Championship and is closing in on her next title. In UKC she needs a single Competition win to complete her Championship.
​
Away from the ring she is equal parts athlete and couch companion. She loves to cuddle, loves to talk back, and has strong opinions about most things.
​
She is an incredible producer and mom. Two of her puppies from separate past litters entered the IABCA ring at three months old and took their National, International, and Honors Baby Championships alongside group placements of first, second, and third. Her offspring are athletic, quick-minded, and consistently stunning.
Meet the Sire - Jacques
Jacques is grey and white with amber eyes that are incredibly bright. He is from lines that mature slowly and his best is still ahead of him.
When Jacques was four months old he and I walked into our very first show together. I had no idea what I was doing, but Jacques didn't let that stop us. He went into that ring like he owned it. That set the tone for everything that followed. In UKC he took Best Puppy in Show three out of four attempts. In AKC he went back to back wins against professional handlers and mature dogs. He has never needed me to be ready. He has always just needed me to show up.
​
What most people see is a striking, goofy boy with a presence that fills a room. What they don't see is the depth underneath that. Jacques has a peculiar ability to always know what you need. In the ring that means he is exactly what the moment calls for. At home it means he will be goofy when you need to smile, and will wrap himself around you when you need a hug. It is impossible to have a bad day with Jacques in it.
​
This year gave us two moments that defined the journey so far. In UKC he made it to the Best in Show ring and was being a little goofy. I made a decision in that moment to stop worrying about perfect and just have fun with my dog. He took Best in Show. The following weekend he needed his final AKC major for his Championship. The handler I had planned had to cancel day of. So we went in together and got it that major to finish his Championship. ​
​​
What to Expect
Every litter is a little different, but this pairing gives us a good picture of what is coming based on both genetics and what we have already seen from these two dogs together.
​
Colors and Eyes
This litter has the potential for a beautiful range of colors including grey and white, black and white, red and white, and agouti in both black and brown based variations. Eye color is equally unpredictable in the best possible way. Blue, brown, amber, green, and heterochromia are all possibilities.
​
Size
Both Revi and Jacques are moderate, well balanced dogs and we expect their offspring to reflect that. Puppies from this litter will likely fall on the smaller to moderate end of the Siberian Husky standard. Correct and compact, built for the work the breed was designed to do.
​
Temperament
Expect athletic, smart, and engaged dogs with quick minds and a genuine eagerness that makes them a joy to work with. There will be high energy individuals and some that are a little more measured in how they come out of the gate. What this pairing consistently produces is dogs that are trainable, adaptable, and deeply connected to their people.
​
Show Prospects
We are expecting show quality from this litter. The majority of our placements are pet homes and we know that. Families or individuals interested in showing are welcome and encouraged to reach out directly so we can have that conversation early.
​
Timing
This litter is planned for November 2026. If that timing aligns, puppies would be expected to go home in late January 2027. Approved families will be kept updated throughout the pregnancy and litter development.
