Meet the Pack

The Dogs..

Meet Honey, Koda & Sitka.
Koda
Koda is the oldest out of the 3. He is 7 years old and he was my Christmas present the very first Christmas Kyle and I were together. We drove all the way to Vancouver to pick him up on Boxing Day (that's a 12 hour drive). He is a Shiba Inu, which is a Japanese rat dog, they hunt rodents. He is a definite hunter. HATES squirrels with a passion and hunts gophers. We don't take him out on long hikes that the kids wouldn't be able to do because he's starting to get sore hips.

Honey is the next oldest. She is going to be 6 in November and we rescued her from the SPCA when she was a baby. Her, her mother and her siblings (8 of them) were rescues out of Creston where they were living under an abandoned trailer. She definitely has husky in her and lab, but all the siblings look different from each other. Her main role in the household is to protect. She is very protective of the kids, particularly when it comes to other dogs. We definitely know when someone is on the property. She is also a hunter. She hunts (and eats) gophers and mice. We take her out on hikes with us.
Honey

Sitka is the baby. He is a year old and is a Korelian Bear Dog X French Spaniel. He is being trained to be Kyles hunting partner. We take him along on hikes with Honey. He is a very high energy dog and we run him regularly to keep him from being destructive. He is a definite hunting dog. We were hoping that more of the Korelian would come out in him but he is all spaniel. Loves hunting birds! He has caught a few and ended up having scratches on his face to prove it.
