Enniska

AKC female Siberian Husky Summers Enniska Moon

Born 28 November 2008

We have a beautiful little gray girl at Huskies Extraordianire of Cafitachiqui.  We call her Enniska.  She did not even look to me like a Siberian Husky as a puppy.  I actually believed I had been duped and she had likely come from an accidental breeding.  But lo and behold what a pretty little husky girl she is becoming! She is more petite than the other female Siberian Huskies we have in our kennel but she is every bit Siberian Husky. 

Enniska has brilliant sapphire blue eyes, beautifully erect ears, the proud yet graceful stance huskies are known to have, and is as light on her feet as a feather. She even dances with me, yes, dances.  She loves to stand on her hind legs and is so light and effervescent.  She looks like a husky ballerina fairy on her back legs dancing around ever so gracefully. 

Our Enniska has a beautiful, refined look that I have learned came from the Kontoki and Belote bloodlines of Siberian Huskies. Like Knut, Enniska's earliest beginnings stem from the Innisfree bloodlines of Siberian Huskies that came originally through the Wheeler and Seppala Canadian kennels and then into Monadnock and Innisfree.  From there, her bloodline veers off into Kontoki and Belote bloodlines.  Photos I have since found of the Kontoki and Belote Huskies almost duplicate the look that my little Enniska bears.  The muzzle is slightly shorter and very slightly narrower than the early Monadnock and Innisfree Siberian Huskies.  The legs are a bit shorter but still proportionate to the body and still in keeping with the AKC standard set by Enniska's very early ancestor, Monadnock's Pando.

The primary ancestral bloodline in Enniska's heritage stems from her grand dam Kitrina Arctic Pride and her great grand dam Kita Winter Dream.

It is through this bloodline that Enniska traces to Belote, Kontoki, Innisfree, Monadnock, Frosty Aire and back into the earliest of the continental strain originating from the breed stock of Leonard Seppala and Harry Wheeler. As with our boy Knut, Enniska's bloodline boasts a great heritage in ancestry with Monadnock's King and his progeny Monadnock's Pando, Mulpus Brooks The Roadmaster, Innisfrees Oomachuk, Innisfrees Pegasus, Innisfrees Beau-Tuk and Innisfrees Sierra Cinnar who mated with Happy To Be Innisfree with the result being the whelping of Kontoki's Royal Sinner.  Here is where the split takes place separating Enniska's bloodline from that of Knut.  From this point we encounter such names as Kontoki's O CH who sired CH Belote's Saber, Kontoki's One Mo Time and CH Belote's Summer SMOKEOFOJOKO.

The Kontoki name has earned a permanent place in the line of Siberian Husky Champions.  Beginning in the mid 1980's into the 1990's Kontoki Siberian Huskies took a monumental place in history. Kontoki's E-I-E-I-O became the winning-est Siberian Husky of all time and his progeny Bingo took Best of Breed at the Westminster Kennel Club in New York in 1999.  This is the lineage our little Enniska is a part of and we are proud to have our little beauty who takes first place with us everyday - well kind of because we have a pack of 22 and we are equally proud of them all.

Little Enniska is still one of our baby girls at the moment so she will not be breeding anytime soon but when she does she will be paired with our handsome AKC boy Prince Knut of Nanook.  Through them the strength of the Monadnock and Innisfree bloodlines they both share and the graceful quality of the Kontoki and Belote bloodlines will surely shine through in their progeny.
