Hasfun Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Our West Siberian Laika gave birth to five puppies on September 19, 2018 and all are big and in good health. They will be ready November 12th just in time for Christmas! There were three females and two male. The female is UKC registered and the male is registered by a similar group in the country of Ukraine - we have papers for both. We have a firm price, of $500.00 plus all expenses if we have to help in getting the pup to you. These dogs are very special and we are very concerned about the breed so we also require a telephone interview to make sure it is a good fit with the dog and the owner. The mother and father are hunting dogs, are seldom leashed and enjoy being free to run and run they do. Both are very good around children and other dogs but have dominant qualities. If you are interested drop me a note back to rjhuddleston@hotmail.com. The dark female has been placed. Info about Laika’s: Laikas, occurring on Russian territory, belong to northern primitive breeds retaining traits of their wild ancestor, the wolf, in the appearance and behavior. They are dogs with pointed muzzle, slightly rangy or nearly square body and often gray or gray mixed with red like in the wolf coat color predominate. Many hunters with Laikas living in Moscow and its vicinity have an old tradition to use their Laikas as duck retrievers. The West Siberian Laika picks up duck retrieving easily, does not hesitate to swim in water at subfreezing temperature and is strong enough to retrieve ducks from water bodies with thick aquatic vegetation and muddy shores. West Siberian Laika make great big game dogs. Usually good bear Laikas are equally good on wild boar. Some good moose Laikas are lacking hunting interest to go after wild boar.

Coach Report post Posted November 8, 2018 Those are some seriously cute puppies. However when they grow up, they'd probably eat my wife's yorkies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasfun Report post Posted November 8, 2018 The females grow between 30 and 40lbs and the male 45 to 60 - they get along well with other dogs and cats but are dominant in their behavior. We also have papers on both dogs - the female is UKC registered and the male from an organization in the Ukraine.
