Welcome To Amarok Siberians!

Ashram (CH Amarok’s Inner Sanctum) known as “Ash” is now the Patriarch of Amarok Siberians. Stephanie Cunningham~photo credit.

Amarok Siberians is a small kennel dedicated to the preservation of purebred Siberians located in Western New York. Amarok has loved, owned and bred quality Siberians for more than 30 years. It is owned and operated by BJ Swansfeger. I am guided by the principals of the Siberian Husky Club of American, the AKC and several other local dog clubs of which I am a member.

The Siberians that are shown and bred are all genetically health tested, as per the SHCA, for eyes and hips through the OFA. These tests are always made available. They are also on Pawvillage, where many of my dogs’ records are also online.

The breeding program here is small, with a litter every year or two. The pups are born and raised here, in my home. They have exposure to multiple close friends and associates from the time they are only a few days old. The pups are socialized in all ways, means and manners. There is a link to each litter that I keep updated daily with their progress so you can follow their development and gains. My goal is for each pup to be well, happy, healthy and a great functioning member of society, whether going into a loving family as a pet or into a loving family as a show prospect!

Above, I have reorganized the menu line with sub-menus that you can see them when you do a roll over. You will also find a link to Soft Siberians and a link to the page on Cushing’s Disease on the Siberian Information page. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email (akei1@netsync.net) or phone (716-672-6155). We can also set up a visit.

This is Ash when he gets very (VERY) excited. He has done it from when he was a very young puppy. The Siberian “Death” Scream is a term that is in the vocabulary of Siberian folks for this type of vocalization the Siberians have. It is not pleasant, as the howl is. I have found, however, that with positive training I have been able to help Ash learn to control this as is evidenced at the end of this clip. And, yes, I have found it to be genetically linked, as are so many traits.

: One of my favorite huge Virginia Poplars was dying. Instead of chopping it down and grinding out the fabulous root system, I had it sculpted. The video from start to finish can be found below. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I loved putting the video together and seeing this beauty everyday. Big changes have happened to the sculpture this winter and it is now GONE! But it has returned to its new home at the front of the property. The journey continues.

: This is a night shot of the Poplar Sculpture. Beautiful~ It has several solar spotlights on it that come on at dusk and start recharging @ dawn.

: The sculpture needed to be cut from the roots due to some insect damage. It went on a big trip to PA and the damage was repaired. Now it sits in its new placement where it is more visible, along with Kaho’s memorial. All is well.
