Birdie came to us from Kalara Siberians. This girl is everything I ever wanted in a dog. She is confident, social, athletic, playful & beautiful. She has had amazing handler focus and engagement from day one; is food-motivated, will work for toys, is smart, easy to train (for a Siberian :)) and super bonded to me. She has been extremely reliable off-leash from day one and has never lost this. She has been a dog I can literally take anywhere, from the very beginning. She is solid and trustworthy around all dogs, all humans, and any environment. Since 8 months old, she has stayed in several hotels with me, gone on at least a dozen camping trips, countless road trips, regularly goes to stores and outdoor restaurants with me. On top of being extremely easy to travel and live with, she has also enjoyed just about every sport she has tried so far. She has even dabbled in dock diving!

Birdie absolutely loves lure coursing. She competes in every all-breed venue in our area (AKC CAT & Fast CAT, ASFA LCI, & RACE AOK9). She may not be as fast as Rhys, but she has the drive! She is famous for barking at the lure the entire time. LOL

Birdie began her nose work training in July 2022 and has come along very quickly as she is a natural! We have been very much enjoying this sport and she is going to give Agent a run for his money! I finally entered her and she earned her ORT title in Jan 2025, and her NW1 title in October.

I began barn hunt & NASDA lessons with her in 2022 as well, and we were instantly hooked on NASDA. Just like all my other Siberians, she lost interest in Barn Hunt almost immediately when she realized she couldn't get to (or see) the rat, though we continued our training using food rewards and I am proud to say that Birdie earned her RATN and RATO titles in a single weekend, with zero NQ’s.

Birdie LOVES NASDA trailing & locating and she is phenomenal at it. She now has her TL-1 and TL-2 titles, having running every course off-leash successfully. We took a bit of a break from trialing but came back in 2025 and she became the first Siberian husky to earn the TL-3 title! She also earned her Urban Locating level 2 title at the beginning of 2024 and we have been enjoying the challenge of UL-3. We took a break from UL-3 in 2025 to focus on TL-3 and do some more training. Birdie was #33 in TL3 for 2025 and earned an invitation to the national. We plan to work on that UL3 title in 2026, and maybe even MTLCH..

We started agility training in 2022, and spent most of 2023-2025 doing weekly private lessons. So far the limiting factor in her agility career has been her handler.. :) We entered 1 weekend of AKC agility at the end of 2024 and she did GREAT, earning a couple Q’s, but we still had some things to finish training. Now in 2026, we are ready and plan to start competing this summer!

We attempted to breed her in 2024, but it was discovered that she had some type of stricture. The hope is to instead breed her niece, Larch, in 2027. Birdie was spayed in 2025, and can now enjoy her sports career to the fullest. :)
