Ron & Susan welcome visitors to the cyber-kennel
for Kaliya Siberians. We are a small, family-based
Siberian Husky kennel located in Eagle River,
Alaska. Kaliya Siberians takes its name from
two grandchildren, KA-leb and ALIYA (Kaliya).
Our primary interests are in conformation and
recreational mushing. In the past, we have worked
some of our
Siberians in agility.
Ron started
with his first Siberian named Simba in
Tucson, Arizona back in 1995. From the
Sonora desert to the northwest rain forest
of Ketchikan, and presently in Eagle
River, Alaska, we have grown to 12 Siberian
family members in residence.

First
and foremost, the Siberian Husky is an
athletic, moderate-sized working dog.
To gain an understanding and appreciation
of what this means for the breed in terms
of structure and locomotion, we work
our dogs in harness all winter and enjoy
the conformation ring in spring and summer.
All
of our dogs are members of the family,
and temperament is a key factor in our
decision to breed and raise pups. Puppies
are socialized with other dogs and people
and needless to say, we spend a great
deal of time with them. We will only
breed when interested in keeping puppies
for our kennel. All dogs in our breeding
program are certified free of hip dysplasia
(OFA)
and inherited eye defects (CERF).
Please feel free to contact us with questions and inquiries about the breed.
