Mike and I were not long married and living in Kent when we first met a Siberian husky in the grey shape of Forstal’s Yakov, owned by the Leich family. He was looking for a home, and we were so taken by his character, temperament and looks that he promptly joined us. He lived till he was 16 years old, ever young in spirit and outlook.

Our first bitch was a black and white one, Forstal’s Reina. With these two dogs we established our kennels, in 1975.
Subsequently that year we moved to Scotland, where we met Fay and Kevin Kolz, stationed over here with the American Air Force. They had two huskies with them, Am Ch Nivek’s Dona Copo de Nieve, a black and white bitch, and Jlahka’s Play It Again Sam, a red and white boy.

These two dogs were outstanding examples of the breed. Both Fay and Kevin were extremely knowledgeable about huskies, and had made up champions in the States; we learned so much from them about the breed, from its beginnings with the Seppala dogs, through to our modern day breed. Their dogs had a litter, and the one we kept, Nivek's Peaches & Cream, became our foundation bitch. Her litter sister, Nivek’s Rusty Ginger, went back to the States when Fay and Kevin left the UK and was made up to a Champion over there.

To go with Peaches we bought Skimarque Checkov, who was by Jlahka’s Play It Again Sam, out of Kolyma’s Uluk. These two dogs became our foundation kennel, and trace back to famous kennels such as Weldon’s, Karnovanda, Mondadnock’s and Innisfree. A few years down the line we were fortunate to acquire Satanta’s Sundancer of Acryse, an outstanding black and white dog who had such lovely pups. Following him was another very influential black and white boy, Rajarani Kimba Bear. Both these dogs threw superb examples of the breed. Over the years we also introduced new female lines, such as Rossfort Natasha, (Arcticlight’s Silver Shadrin x Arcticlight’s Canadian Crystal), and Paskinal Nanney the Mazer. (Kachoko Nivek’s Dallas of Paskinal x Skimarque Love Affair).


We are a small kennel, breeding one, possibly two, litters a year, and try and keep as close as possible to the breed standard. We have watched the breed in the UK go through cycles and fashions, as any breed does, and we have watched the splits develop in the Clubs about the different ‘types’ of husky. It is our belief that there is the one Standard, and that for the sake of the breed it is imperative to breed to that standard, for type, temperament, and soundness. We were founder members of both the Siberian Husky Club of Great Britian, and the Siberian Husky Club of Scotland.



Our stock has helped to set up such kennels such as Alascotia, and Muiryetts in Scotland, who trace their foundation stock to our lines, eg Acryse Nearctic of Alascotia and Acryse Iceberg Lady. Our female line now is in direct descent to Peaches and Cream, and the red colour features strongly, as do blue eyes, but we do get blacks and greys in the litters. We do not now keep boys, and all our girls are hip and eye scored for soundness; whilst we don’t run them in harness, nor show them anymore, this is due to lack of time. We encourage our puppy owners to work their dogs, and to show them as well.
