It has been two years since we whelped a litter of Alaskan Husky pups at SP Kennel. In the next week (or so) that will change.

Junior is pregnant.

As all of you SPK fans know, Olivia “Junior” was born to Olivia and Nacho’s first litter six years ago this week! She is one of our most talented sled dogs with the sweetest personality. She will gallop down the race trail and make friends while doing it.

Junior is a first-time mother and seems to be handling the issues of pregnancy well so far. The whelping / puppy room is set up and she has claimed her favorite spot in the crate full of cedar shavings. This indoor dog room has a doggie door to the outdoor pen. She can go in and out to her heart’s content.

Who is Daddy-O? Rodney.

Rodney brings excitement, enthusiasm and attitude to the puppy genetics. And a lot of barking. (Junior is a constant howler – so pups the might be rather vocal!)

Rodney is from the Chica and Clyde litter born four years ago. Rodney and Junior are first cousins with common grandparents; Zorro and Venus.

 

We hope to bring a New Feature to the SPKennel Website: A Puppy Cam. The internet upload speed in Two Rivers, Alaska is not fast, by any means. Our website guru has taken this to task and is working on a set up this coming week.

The Puppy Cam will most likely not be functional on a 24/7 basis, but as soon as we have the kinks worked out… you will see:

P – U – P – P – I – E – S !

  • Oh, what wonderful news!! Junior looks content like her mother Big O!
    I’m sure she will be a Great Mother!! Can hardly wait!!!

  • Puppies! Can’t wait and can hardly believe my guy Five and his siblings (papa Rodney to the new pups) are four. And Aliy, so happy to hear from you! Looking forward to puppy pics! Since Five is “my guy”, does this make me a grandma??!! LOL!! Best regards from The Straw Ladies!

  • Yes! This is so exciting! Between an SPK puppy cam and my Wedgy cam, how will I get any work done? Best wishes to all of the expectant family.

  • As Junior’s sponsor, my family is absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to see Junior and Rodney’s new pups! This is such exciting news! Go SPK!

  • So happy for all at SP kennel!!!

    Junior is gorgeous as is her man Rodney – gotta be a super litter coming (and if Olivia’s genes continue [her Mom ChaCha was pretty prolific too} I mean that could be almost a whole team in CB300…

    Thanks so much for all the news so far this summer – and this bit is the best!!!

  • That’s great news! Congratulations Junior and Rodney! I am so excited about the new SPK puppies!
