Introducing Anvik...picture heavy.

[Ginger's Mom]

Aww, welcome to Wandering Spirits, Anvik. I love the picture of the two of you together. And I agree with Pat, he looks very long-legged (looks like he could give [who is it Ozzy?] a run for his money).

[Bengalz]

Wow!! Now we know what you've been up to - he is gorgeous Congratulations Anvik - you've scored big time buddy.

[BC_MoM]

Oohh.. a definite beauty!! I think you should keep him.

Aren't Alaskan Huskies mixed with Greyhounds? No wonder he's such a long-legged beauty!!

Aren't Alaskan Huskies mixed with Greyhounds? No wonder he's such a long-legged beauty!!

Alaskan Huskies can be any mix of breeds. The only requirement to be called an Alaskan is that they must have been bred to pull a sled. Many of them have very little Siberian Husky in their mix. Currently, greyhound, coonhound and german short haired pointers are the most popular mixes. A few years ago it was border collies(like Pingo and Sundin). The hound mixes are extremely fast, but hard to keep in true sled dog climates. They need as much clothing as their mushers at -30C! Anvik is double coated like a husky, long legged like a hound and has the facial shape of a collie!

We had a purebred greyhound stay with us one night last week. She was on her way from Fairbanks, Alaska to Calgary, Alberta. Can't do that trip in one day. She was delightful! If we were properly set up for that kind of dog, she would have gone no farther! Stuart and Anvik both fell in love at first sight! I'd never spent time with a greyhound before, but I can see how easy it would be to fall for the breed!

What a sweetie! He reminds me of my Vallis, (a failed foster ) who is also very clingy. They even look a bit alike! Anvik is adorable.

I think the closest thing to doggie heaven up north is YOUR HOUSE! I mean you can't get much closer to heaven right?

[RobiLee]

I think he is gorgeous! I have to admit that I hope this boy doesn't go anywhere . He has already stolen a piece of my heart and I hope I get to see lots more of him.

[finn's mom]

Oh my gosh, he's wonderful. What a smile! And, he actually looks appreciative, like he seems to know he's being given a second chance! What a lucky dog.
