Important Information
If the right person came forward for Ivy, that home is more important to me than money. I want the very best for her and I need someone who can give her everything she needs.
At 5 weeks, at accident resulted in small transverse hairline fracture on her rear leg bone- for a fracture it wad the best kind (according to the vet). Because she had been on restricted activity and has missed some key socialisation with her litter, we want to make sure she has every opportunity to catch up and she is undergoing physiotherapy, laser therapy and hydrotherapy.
Her fracture has healed and has no pain from that area. Her current rehabilitation is needed due to muscle weakness in the affected leg. Her bones grew fast but her muscles and tendons were unable to keep up. We are working on strengthening that leg and encouraging her to use it and use it in a more normal way.
At home I am doing a variety of things to support her and I am keeping a watchful eye over her legs and weight distribution. Warm compresses before we do our training- it appears to be simple games of sit, stand, down and paws up but I am using those little games to encourage her to get into a normal position and for that leg to bear more weight. I am using different surfaces to encourage her to use that leg and to strengthen her core. Raised dog bowls to she isn't reaching down. Not allowing her to jump up and using "paws of" when needed.
Raven, Eden and Alaska have big roles in socialising Ivy and teaching her canine skills that Ivy missed out on when she could not play with her siblings. Eden's role is monumental. Her teaching skills are beautiful to watch. She will act as a sibling, allows Ivy to "get" her and will switch roles and teaches Ivy to submit. Ivy responds beautifully and she loves those interactions. She follows Eden around, mimics her behaviour and settles when Eden settles- Eden is an incredible girl and I expect Ivy to follow suit.
Ivy is fantastic in the car as she has travelled with us everywhere since the accident. She has never been carsick, has travelled for more than 4 hours in one day without issue and when she could not go safely on the floor, she toileted on a puppy pad in the boot when we stopped for a break. She likes the car seat which is a comfy bed although when it is hot, she likes to have the window down and stick her nose out. She has been in a variety of places- cafes, pubs, shops and manages herself well.
Ivy can show panic if a stranger suddenly touches her back legs- completely understandable especially with what she has gone through. Plus she is a puppy who is only just venturing outside and meeting people. We ca n build up associations, go slow and teach her that she will be respected.
Toilet training outside is ongoing. We had to rely on the toilet pads for safety as she could not go outside whilst she had the splint on. She uses the toilet pads but I am working on her toileting outside. We visited family who had grass in the garden- she only used the grass which is great. At home we have just patio slabs and she isn't as keen on using them so I am trying a few things to encourage her.
If my breeding licence inspector allowed her to stay then I will keep her but I am dividing my time between 9 dogs, Ivy and then future puppies so a home for Ivy would likely to better for her. I have been told there is an increased risk of arthritis developing In Ivy when she is older. Weight management, good quality food, salmon oil/flaxseed oils, controlled exercise and a motivated owner who enjoys learning about supporting dogs will be beneficial.
I will only allow Ivy to leave when the physiotherapist and the professionals involved give me the all clear- I want and need to her to be fully fit, physically and mentally ready to leave me.

I have reduced Ivy's fee as she has an underbite. Whilst this does not affect her ability to eat or chew, it is a cosmetic fault. Out of Raven's 29 puppies, this is the first time this has happened and I have not seen it in my puppies before. She must not be bred from and will be sold under a spay/neuter contract.
Temperament
At 4 weeks, Ivy is our lively confident puppy — expressive, bright, and full of character. She carries that classic husky independence, happily thinking for herself and diving into new experiences with enthusiasm. She loves being where the action is, joining in with a joyful energy that makes her a fun and engaging puppy to be around. She is naturally vocal yet when her mind is kept busy, she explores with quiet confidence.
At 5 weeks, I am impressed with how well Ivy is taking to the car and stroller. She enjoys the new experiences and looks around with curiosity.
The first 8 weeks and what to expect:
Puppies will be microchipped, receive a vet check and first vaccination prior to leaving.
They will be dewormed regularly and I will put a flea treatment in puppy packs.
All puppies leave with an extensive puppy pack with paperwork, an advice book as well as a minimum of 7 days worth of food (it will be raw food or Butternut). A full list of items will be added soon.
Puppies will be well socialised and at their pace. I like to build strong foundations, build upon them and every week brings new activities. I will upload photos and videos to Instagram and Facebook to show the puppies development and our little adventures.
Parents
Raven
Raven is the matriarch of my lines and I could not be prouder. She is highly intelligent, intuitive and she loves getting involved in family activities. I count myself lucky to have her due to the natural way she maintains the pack balance, and the everyday roles that she plays within the pack.
One of my favourite activities to do with Raven is to take photos. It may sound simple but as I want to develop further skills, Raven shows great patience and intelligence enabling me to be creative. She has actually seen me taking a test shot, came from behind me, realised where I was taking a photo of and hopped up, offering her head down pose. She knows me well and can correctly assume what I will ask for based on surroundings- even when we are somewhere new.
She has proven to be the most natural dog mum. Everything has come naturally to her- pregnancy, labour, and caring for her babies. She enjoys being a mum and caring for her babies- she will also clean and care for my other girls puppies. She is a godsend when I need to introduce a new puppy or dog to the pack and also when correcting teenage pups. Her canine social skills are truly fascinating to watch.
She is fully health tested- Embark clear from over 240 diseases, BVA eye test with gonioscopy- Grade 0, BVA elbows 0, BVA hip score total 14.
Reggie
Reggie is a lovely calm boy which complements Raven well. Having met him a number of times and watched his and Willow's puppies grow, I knew he would be ideal for Raven's final litter.
He is fully health tested- Embark clear from over 240 diseases, BVA elbows 0, and has a BVA hip score total of 10.
Embark results:
49% Husky, 37.5% Pomeranian, 8.8% Alaska klee kai, 4.7% Japanese Spitz
Puppies may inherit a small percentage of the other breeds or only Husky and Pomeranian.
