Cainnisa's Prince Juneau
Date of Birth - May 12, 2005
Team Position - Public Relations Director
Height - 25"
Weight - about 60 lbs.
Neutered male
Red and white - bi-eyed (one blue, one amber)
Juneau - or "Mr. Bug" as he's affectionately called - is my first Siberian. From a mix of old working and established show lines, he truly is a gorgeous dog. Problem is, he knows it!
I got Juneau with the idea of skijoring - we added Diamond to the pack and used a little homemade kicksled. Now Juneau is a bit lazy. He would much rather be getting attention from people than working hard. I spent some frustrating hours with him, wondering, "This is supposed to be a Siberian Husky - why doesn't he want to pull?" One year during a skijor race he quit about a kilometer out from the finish in order to duck into the crowd for some love!
Mr. Bug's attitude was probably a blessing in disguise as it led me to learn about the various bloodlines of the sibe. He does alright now in our daughter's team as a wheel dog, primarily because the leaders keep pulling and prevents him from goofing off! He comes with me as Public Relations Director when we do dogsledding demos and school programs.
