The Rundown

Throughout the website, you should be able to find answers to most of your questions. If you need clarification or have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Below is an overview of our process for purchasing a puppy from North River Siberians.

​

Our Breeding Philosophy

Each planned litter is part of a long-term goal: to improve the quality of our Siberians while preserving breed type and function. Every pairing is carefully considered through pedigree research, health testing, structure, temperament, and working ability.

We do not produce litters casually each one is intentionally planned with the next generation in mind. First pick is always reserved for our program as a show or performance prospect.

​

Application & Waitlist

If you are ready to move forward, the first step is to complete the puppy application. This helps us understand what you are looking for and the environment the puppy will be placed in.

Once your application is reviewed and approved, you will be added to our waitlist. We may follow up with additional questions to ensure the best possible match.

We do our best to keep the waitlist updated, but typically reach out once a breeding is about to take place to confirm continued interest. If we do not hear back, your name may be removed and the next person will move up.

Breeding & Pregnancy Updates

Once a successful breeding has taken place, you will be contacted with updates, including an estimated due date and the scheduled ultrasound.

After pregnancy is confirmed via ultrasound, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your place. This deposit goes toward the total cost of the puppy.

​

Puppy Selection Process

Puppies are not selected at birth. At 8 weeks old, each puppy is evaluated for both structure and temperament. This allows us to make informed, unbiased decisions about placement.

After evaluations, we will contact you to discuss your puppy. While preferences such as gender, color, and personality are considered, placement is ultimately based on what best fits your home and lifestyle.

We know our puppies best and take pride in making thoughtful matches that set both the puppy and owner up for long-term success. Preference may be given to show, performance, or working homes.

​

Pricing

Our pricing reflects the cost of responsible breeding, including health testing, veterinary care, pregnancy and puppy care, and the ongoing development of our program.

Raising Our Puppies

Our puppies are raised inside our home in a clean, safe environment and are handled daily from birth. They are a part of our everyday lives, which helps build confident, well-adjusted temperaments.

We follow the Puppy Culture program, which includes early neurological stimulation, structured socialization, and confidence-building exercises from an early age.

You will receive regular updates, including photos and videos, as the puppies grow. Around 4 weeks of age, personalities begin to develop, and we will start sharing insights as they continue to mature.

Health & What Comes Home

Puppies are dewormed starting at 3 weeks of age and remain on a regular schedule. They will receive age-appropriate vaccinations, including Bordetella.

Each puppy goes home with:

• Microchip

• Blanket with familiar scents

• Toys

• Transition food (Purina Pro Plan)

• All necessary paperwork

All puppies come with a 3-year genetic health guarantee and are guaranteed for life against all testable genetic conditions

.

8-Week Evaluations

At 8 weeks, each puppy is evaluated for structure and temperament. These evaluations help us determine which puppies best meet the breed standard and which are best suited for specific homes.

Proper placement matters. Matching the right puppy to the right home helps prevent mismatches in energy, temperament and expectations setting everyone up for success.

Puppy Pick-Up

Once puppies reach 8 weeks of age and evaluations are complete, we will schedule your pick-up date. Puppies are picked up at our home, and you are welcome to meet the parents if you have not already.

If you are unable to pick up in person, transportation via flight can be arranged at an additional cost.

​

Final Thoughts

Adding a puppy to your family is exciting, but it is also a long-term commitment. Siberian Huskies are an active, intelligent breed that require structure, training, and regular exercise.

We strongly encourage puppy classes and continued training. In many cases, training is just as much for the owner as it is for the puppy.

We are always here as a resource and are happy to help guide you through life with your new puppy—from day one and beyond.
