Hi Paul
and ~welcome to CD~ :-)

First port of call to my mind should always be the Breed club (Siberian Husky Club of GB has a puppy lists available if you call 0871 277 6783)

Just to clarify it is 'Show type' types of Siberian Husky as seen here, that your looking for.. as opposed to the dogs/lines you see doing well at shows here in the UK (which would be Racing type predominantly, though not exclusively)

If that the case I'd say get in touch with Teri and Mick at Dreamcatcher Siberians they have a chat forum on their website you can join and ask there or mail them, the show type supporters are more the minority so Im sure they'd be happy to chat and advise. (they have a very friendly site)

Im sure your aware... but please be careful and choose a reputable breeder who will have the dogs properly registered, there are alot of opportunist breeders out there that may well have dogs with great pedigrees but if that breeder makes a bad mating.. that good line breeding is out the window, and really that pedigree counts for nothing! Choose someone who has an ethos to breed, researches the genetics and betters a line, rather than someone with a 'nice' dog who'd like to have a go (or make money...) There is a HUGE problem within our breed at the moment with an over abundance of teenage dogs needing rehoming unregistered poorly bred dogs.. to the extent the Breed club rescue had to close its doors for a while :-(

Appologies! (ranting!!) my pet niggle there! Wish you the best of luck..let us know how your search goes!

Hi huskygal, thanks for the welcome!
I have tried to call to husky club telephone a few times but noone seems to answer, i'll try again in the evening as i understand its run by volunteers.
After reading the Types of siberians link you gave me i think the standard/working type would suit us better because i'd like to be able to cycle/bikejor with her in a harness.
hehe i have dreamcather sibes on my list of people to contact already, i think i'll try them first
thanks for your info!
