Siru has achieved a lot in her life, despite her colour! She worked well in harness (retired now due to her age), she has a real sweet nature, is great
Mom and has produced some very nice pups (including Star & Wayne) and has also done her fair share of winning in the show ring. She inherited a
lot of good points from her father, Sunny, and is a full sister to Astra. In Canada her colour has been more of a hindrance than in Europe but
she has still won a BOB over specials for 3 points! Siru has produced our first litter in Canada, which we are very pleased with so far. She was "retired" to enjoy her veteran years in
stress-free peace (deservedly so!) but she still insisted on performing maternal duties just one last time in 2002 - maybe retirement wasn't what she had in mind?!
Show wins include numerous BOB wins and Group 5 (FCI) placements as well as BOB brace with her Dad (Sunny) at the World Dog Show in 1998.
At almost 10 years of age, Siru came out of retirement and became a Canadian Champion. Then at over 12 years of age she strutted her stuff again and won BOS at the NY/NJ Specialty in October
2005. In November, at the AMCA National Specialty she won Best 12+
Veteran in Sweeps over 6 other 12+ Malamutes, as well as placing 2nd in
the 12+ Veteran Sweeps class at the Regional Specialty and winning both
regular 12+ classes at the Regional and National Specialties! All good
things come to an end and in November 2008, at 15 years of age, we lost
Siru. She is sorely missed by all who knew & loved this wonderful girl
- she really was something very special.
