Do
you want to know more about the Siberian Husky? Then
I recomend these pages:
 In addition to my bengals and my sokokes I have a two year old Siberian Husky. His name is Klarelvens Esky
Endurance. At a daily basis I call him Esky. Before I bought Esky I called a lot of Siberian Husky breeders and asked if they had any
puppies. Some weeks later I got a phonecall from Ann and Jan Jensen, Klarelven kennel. Nala had given birth to six puppies to Klarelvens Aiko Amundsen. Four of these puppies were boys. When the puppies was about one week old they had their photos taken and I could pick my
puppy. One of the boys had red color down his nose, this little detail made me choose
him. Esky is a racing husky and not a show dog. His family as far back as they go have always pulled sleds and not been show
dogs. He's a true working polar dog. I think these Siberian Huskies are even more beautiful than the show version of the
breed.
Now I was to find a name to my puppy. I was told from the breeder that a name starting with the letter E would be the best. This was their
E-litter, the fifth in almost twice as many years. I wanted my dog to have a name related to his
breed, and hopefully I could find one that a 150 other dogs didn't have. After a lot of searching I found the word
esky. It was short for eskimo and later on became the word husky. I decided to call him that right
away. In addition I gave him the name Endurance. A Siberian Husky is supposed to have a lot of
endurance, so I think it fits him. His three brothers are named E-Fenriz, Elmer and
Elvis. His two sisters are named Emma and Embla.
When Esky was about 9 weeks old I went to pick him up. I had never seen him before so I was quite excited to see what he was like in real. The breeders had sent me a lot of photos so I had a very good idea of what to
expect. I was so looking forward to have my very own Siberian Husky again. The trip from Eskys breeder to my home is very
long, so I went by my parents for a couple of days to ease the trip for my little
friend. First time he was indoors he didn't move around a lot. This  new floor was so strange to step
on! It didn't take him more than a day to get used to it. Today he is a cuddling, indoors Husky. I don't think he would be happy to stay outdoors
today!
Esky managed the changes form being in a pen with other dogs to be indoors with people very fine. He soon attached to me and I became very found of
him. Esky is a mentally well balanced, clam, secure and happy Siberian Husky. His breeder should have allot of credit for Esky's social skills. He gave the puppies allot of individual attention from birth and took them on short trips in the
woods. The last two weeks before I got my dear dog, he went on short trips with him
alone. He got used to traffic and a collar. It was a success!
The first thing I learned my little Husky boy was to teach him to come when I
called. The first two moths he didn't learn anything else. I did this because my last Siberian Husky ran off as soon as he
could. I succeeded! Esky doesn't run off. He might not come when I call and there are another dog or two in his
sight, but he doesn't run off. I never let him off the leash if there could be
sheep or other "prey" animals in the area.
I haven't managed to train him not to pull in his leash yet. He pulls, and pulls and pulls. I doesn't really matter. I love my dog very much and besides pulling in the leash he is quite a obedient dog. And he's almost always very kind to my
cats.
Esky is very clam indoors. He doesn't demand much and may sleep far into the day. When he's outdoors on the other hand... He's full of
life, have lots of energy and is very happy like a young dog should be. He is very interested in other dogs (and
cats) and he doesn't mind weather the dog is a female or a male. He just loves
dogs. He wants to play with them, and don't make any trouble. Ofcourse he'll defend himself against an equal dog in the
hierarchy, but he has never been in a fight.
I hope Esky will live to be an old dog, and that we have many good years ahead of us
together.
