On
the blue planet, many wild animal and plant species
are endangered because of mans actions in their
environment. The domesticated species (animal and
plant) also sustain pressures that could bring the
extinction of some animal breeds or lines and of some
plant cultivars.
The industrial production that is the trademark of
our century, together with consumerism, have often
resulted in the reduction of animal and plant genetic
pools. We believe that man has the responsibility
to preserve genetic diversity in order to preserve
global biodiversity. This way, we are protecting our
inheritance.

We
believe that Siberian Huskies out of working lines reflect
this perspective. They are the living legacy of the past
and illustrate the link that existed between man and dog.
One could say that we are preserving the inheritance of
the working dogs in our kennel. These dogs allow us to protect
a genetic pool; to avoid extinction of the working lines.
We cannot accomplish this alone. We need help. That is why
we hope that other Siberian Husky fanciers from across the
world will share this vision and this goal.
In the past, dogs were used to transport humans and goods.
They were later replaced by motor vehicles. This introduced
changes in order to create a dog better adapted to modern
life (more sedentary, able to live without the pack, calm,
squarer built, etc.). All this was done despite the true
nature of the Siberian Husky. The true Siberian Husky lives
in a pack, he is an active, energetic dog with an efficient
gait; he is fast, courageous and strong
Compared to other sled dog kennels, our kennel is small.
We have approximately 30 dogs; this number varies depending
on the period of the year. We aim to raise dynamic dogs,
always ready to work and happy to do it. Their built makes
running and working a cinch. They are fast dogs with attitude,
endurance and strength. They recover easily after work,
they eat and drink well, and can perform under stress. We
focus on the ability to live in a pack and to adapt to various
environments. We also look for dogs that travel well. Finally,
the dog must be healthy and have very sturdy legs..

In
particular, we like the dogs out of the Kodiak line.
They are very brave and have all the qualities that
we are looking for in a working dog. They are healthy
and versatile. You will notice that this line is prominent
in the pedigree of many of our dogs.
We raise our dogs in packs, they are penned in enclosures
surrounded by an electric fence and they are fed a
natural diet. To learn more about the diet of our
team, please visit the following Web site www.aa2000.qc.ca.
