Anika's Aurora Peak CGC - "Mischa"

When we decided MANY years ago, that human children were not going to be in the picture, we began the search for a dog to share our life with. We were considering either a chocolate lab or a liver colored Siberian. On our way to Sunday River for a day of skiing, we spotted a sign at Clarance Tyner's house in Mechanic Falls, ME advertising Siberian Huskies for sale. It just so happens, that both the sire and dam were red coated! Well if we were going to add a dog to the household, it might as well look like us eh! Paperwork problems prevented the sire from being registered with the AKC so our pup would instead be ILP registered. Mischa's name is a combination of her mother's call name and our favorite peak at Sunday River.

Mischa is never one to push herself too hard in harness. The few times Mischa would join the racing team on a longer run, she would either hang back in the dog truck (not one of her favorite occupations) or run for awhile on the team then rest it out in the sled bag. She is the team mascot and cheerleader.

When Mischa was younger, we attended obedience class and entered a few local matches. To this day, she will perform a perfect recall and will come from yards away to the word "cookie".

Rather than have bestowed on her, a less favorable title (couch potato, Queen B, etc) she is currently working toward a Working Pack Dog degree.
