Breed Information


This page is still under construction and likely always will be. :) Although I am starting to work on this page now, I really see it as a long term retirement project. My hope is that this will become a place where anyone interested in the Siberian, from the pet owner to the long time dedicated Siberian breeder, will want to visit. Whether a person is just looking for some general information on the breed to decide if it is the right choice for their family or a breeder looking to do some in depth research, this I hope will be at least a good starting point for them.
