- Proud pet parent of:
- Sofia: 1/2 Siberian Husky, 1/4 Norwegian Elkhound, 1/4 Coyote
Ole: Norwegian Elkhound
- How we met:
- Sofia is a pup from a VERY Oops litter. Her mama was a red & white Siberian with blue eyes, who was let loose in the Manzano Mts. in New Mexico while in heat.
Ole is a rescue dog brought home to Alaska from the Lower 48 at great expense and also a great adventure!
- Pet likes:
- Sofia: loves to run run run and hunt.
Ole: loves FOOD, and doing and learning tricks.
- Pet dislikes:
- Sofia: being mauled by children
Ole: being separate from me
Actually, neither like to be away from me but Sofia handles it better. They both go to work with me every day.
- Pet’s favorite spot:
- Wherever I am.
- Pet’s favorite toy:
- Sofia has a golden lion tamarin stuffed toy. She loves "monkey" toys, and she never unstuffs them.
Ole doesn't have a favorite, though he is slightly partial to a stuffed moose toy.
- Pet’s silliest habit:
- Ole is not just an elkhound, he's an ELKLOWN. He's just about the silliest dog I've ever seen.
- My pet is unique because:
- Sofia is a coydog, so she is a dog-not-a-dog. She's very beautiful, very special, and quite brilliant. Sometimes it's more that she's inconveniently smart....such as when she got out of a locked campershell in a mere ten minutes to follow a passing dog....(I was inside a restaurant eating lunch). She has a mind of her own but she wants to please me, too.
I do not recommend, nor condone, the breeding of coy or wolf dogs. I think it endangers the dog, the community and the wild gene pool. They are very difficult to deal with and you have to be extremely dedicated to train them properly. Some are never stable. I took Sofia and her twin sister, Athena, in from the oops litter that a tenant had, and helped find homes for the rest of the pups. Sofia and Athena were the only coydogs. The rest were obviously sired by a golden. I did not know she was a coydog when I got her.
