Hello, and welcome to Aspengrove Siberians online!

We are a small show/working kennel & site of a future breed rescue located in the heart of Nebraska, USA.  We love Siberians, and are working hard to ensure the health and soundness of the breed.  We OFA test (hips), and CERF test (eyes) our dogs; as well as having DNA on file with the AKC.  We do not breed until our dogs are at least 2 yrs of age, and only after they have passed rigorous health screening.  Our dogs also have to meet our expectations for the show ring or in harness.  We breed for quality, not quantity. 

We actually use our dogs for what they were originally intended.  Sledding!  This is a great test for the quality of any Siberian.  If they can't run and pull, they don't make the cut!  As many wise dog people have said, "Form follows function."

We do show our dogs on a limited basis in AKC (American Kennel Club) conformation.  We are just getting started, and have A LOT to learn about the dog show world!

Rescue and the support of our local shelters is very close to our hearts.  We adopted Yukon and we have never been the same!  I am a member of our local YAAP (Adopt-A-Pet), and do temperament assessments and basic obedience training to make the dogs more adoptable.  We donate time and supplies as we can.  We also foster homeless Siberians for local shelters.  We have decided to open our own Siberian Husky rescue in the near future.  Shelters often don't have the time or resources to be knowledgeable about every breed or mix that comes in.  Our goal with Aspengrove Siberian Rescue is to take in homeless Siberians in our area, rehabilitate medically or assess any behavioral problems, and re-home according to each individual dog and potential family.  We will take owner surrenders (after all else fails), help unburden local shelters by taking their Siberians, and save Siberians sentenced to death in high-kill shelters.

We are members in good standing of the Seward County Kennel Club & York Adopt-A-Pet.

 

A note about our pack...

In many of the pictures you will see on our site, the dogs are off-leash and running free.  This is because we have an underground fence, although we do have a few dogs we can trust without having a receiver collar on.  There are special circumstances within our pack dynamic that make this possible.  For your dog's safety, please have a fenced yard, and always keep him/her on leash.  Even the best trained Siberians will take off at a seconds notice.  The situation at our kennel is an exception, not the rule.  Please, avoid heartache and keep your pet safe!

 

So you want a Siberian?

Yukon poses with the hair I just raked off of him.  This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, folks.  We have been known to joke that it looks like a sheep exploded in our yard after a good grooming session with the dogs!
