At Skidi Siberians we are dedicated to providing healthy, loving companions and/or winning showdogs to appropriate homes who are willing to make a commitment for THE LIFE OF THE DOG!  If you are not willing to make this kind of commitment, please go elsewhere!

General information:and answers to frequently asked questions:

1) All breeding stock is AVCO eye checked clear of hereditary eye defect and SHOR registered.

2) Pet puppies come with a replacement guarantee should the dog be diagnosed by an ACVO veterinarian as going blind due to hereditary defect such as juvenile cataracts, PRA, corneal dystrophy, OR become crippled because of hip dysplasia as diagnosed by xray.

3) Show or Racing prospect puppies come with a replacement guarantee should the dog be diagnosed as having an hereditary eye defect or hip dysplasia, or if it becomes unsuitable for show or breeding because of other hereditary defect. Eye and hip checks must be completed by age 28 months. This guarantee becomes null and void if the dog has been bred and produced puppies.

4) All pet puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract requiring the dog be altered by the age of one year. They can be registered with AKC on LIMITED registration.

5) Pet puppies are generally priced at $300. Show prospect puppies are generally priced at $600. Anyone buying a show prospect is expected and required to seriously show the dog. I ask for a $100 deposit to reserve a puppy, and buyers make their choices in the order they paid the depposit. The deposit applies to the total purchase price. It is nonrefundable should the buyer change his/her mind. In the event I do not have a suitable puppy available, it will be refunded.

6) The difference between a show prospect and pet puppy is usually something cosmetic such as a too tightly curled tail, too long and soft a coat, or (in males) an undescended testicle. These puppies are equally healthy and make wonderful loving companions.

7) Puppies are not ready to go to their new homes before 8 weeks, or 9 weeks if they are traveling by air. They will have been wormed several times and have had at least 1 shot. I ask that the puppy be taken to a veterinarian for a check-up within 48 hours of leaving my premesis unless it was shipped via air. (Those pups are checked prior to shipping.) 

I have some questions for potential puppy buyers.  If you copy and paste these questions into an email along with your answers, it would greatly expedite our conversation.

1) What experience, if any, have you had with the breed?

2) Why do you want a Siberian?

3) What do you plan to do with the dog?

4) What facilities (such as fenced yard) do you have for your dog?

5) What are your preferences in sex and color? Are you willing to take a different sex or color if your first choice is not available? NOTE: I seldom get blue-eyed puppies, so don't expect them.

6) Do you under stand that Siberians are active dogs needing exercise, that they are pack animals and need companionship, that they are not good guard dogs since they are very friendly to everyone, that they dig, shed, howl (but not bark,) and that they are NOT trustworthy off leash and MUST be kept confined at all times?
