We are devastated to announced that Enya left us suddenly after a brief battle with an unknown medical problem. We are still trying to make sense of everything but our veterinary team had narrowed down the possibilities to an autoimmune disorder or cancer. By the time they had come to these considerations she was extremely compromised and we decided to let her go with peace and dignity rather than prolong suffering with unknown expectations of recovery. Enya joined the family in July of 2012 as a fiery little ball of fluff. We had aspirations of her being one of our next show prospects and potential foundation for the future of our kennel. While some plans didn't come to fruition she found her place in harness on our early sled teams. She took to her work in harness with enthusiasm and drive. Enya brought many years of joy to our team and home. It is hard to imagine our kennel without her happy woos, her enthusiasm toward everything she took on, and her fiery spirit. Words cannot express the depth of our sadness having to have let her go so soon. Enya has earned her Silver Harness and we know she is wearing it with pride - until we meet again baby bird, we miss you and love you.

I bought my Siberian Husky, Jasmyn, in July 2008 from someone who had acquired her as an 8-week old from Galena Creek in Oregon. Jasmyn died this past week and the head MRI reveals that she had severe brain atrophy, which at 14 years old was so extensive that it could only be attributed to a genetic issue. I have been trying to find contact for Galena Creek, just to see if this is something they have seen occur often in their pups (I'm not litigious, just curious). All of their websites are defunct and their facebook has been inactive for 8 years. I was just wondering if you had any insight into GC and their breed line? I am truly sorry for the loss you had a year ago with your girl. One of Jasmyn's puppies actually looked a lot like the coloring of Enya. Thank you in advance for your response. Warm regards, Angel

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. I have let the owners of her four puppies know.

I have bought beautiful Siberian Huskies from Galena Creek Kennels for years until Susan’s passing in 2014. All of the dogs have been sweet natured & healthy — all but 1 living well into their teens. Susan was very particular about her gene pool & healthy & happy Sibes were her top priority.

Jasmyn, my girl from Galena Creek, was over 14 years old and her puppies are alive and well at 10 years this year. I was so impressed with her health and intelligence her entire life. I was just trying to know if there was anything more than I would need to let the owners of her puppies know as they age. I am glad to hear that Galena Creek touched so many lives with their great dogs. I have only heard such great things. Thank you for your response.

CategoriesAuthorMy passion for the Siberian Husky began early in my Montana childhood. The journey has been enlightening so far, with much learned and even more to discover. I hold the conviction that one is never too old, too seasoned, or too self-assured to learn something new. Moreover, I consider knowledge to be of no value unless it is shared with others. |
