The "Ghost" of Amon-Ra

Call Name: Ghost
Registered Name: The Ghost of Amon-Ra
Birthdate- Unknown
Birthplace- Unknown

Ghost is a Siberian Husky with an ILP (Indefinite Listing Privilege) number from the AKC this allows him to compete in all AKC sports except the show ring.

We think I am about 4 ½ years old; Kari brought me home from a vet clinic where she worked because I had no home and no one wanted me; it was a low point in my life. As soon as Kari saw me she fell in love with me I mean who wouldn't have you seen my eyes! She also realized that I had a lot of extra energy like most Siberians so we started sledding and I loved it. I also began weight pulling which I am really good at. I have been ranked in the top 10 for my weight class on snow for the past couple of years. Because of the weather this year I didn't get to compete on snow, I can't wait until next year. I really like people especially kids, I enjoy licking their faces. My favorite pastimes are running and pulling. Ghost resides in Slatington with his kennel mate Keisha.

Wildwinds "Solo" Sit of Amon-Ra

Call Name: Solo
Registered Name: Wildwind Solo Sit of Amon-Ra
Birthdate: 1/5/03
Birthplace- Copenhagen, New York

Solo is an AKC (American Kennel Club) registered female Siberian Husky. I know that I am extra cute because I am fuzzy but Siberians are not supposed to have all this extra hair. It takes me longer to dry when I get wet and I get a little warmer than a Siberian with shorter hair. Worst of all I need to be brushed more which I hate just ask Kari! I came to live with Kari when I was a just 8 weeks old and boy was I cute. I enjoy sledding with Ghost, backpacking, hiking and weight pulling. Solo resides in Slatington with her part-time kennel mate Booth.

Keisha

Call Name: Keisha
Birthdate: Unknown
Birthplace- Unknown

Keisha is a Siberian Husky with a rough past. When Keisha came to join our family she has over six homes in the past two years.

We think I'm about 2 years old. I'm just like my new brother Ghost, I have a ton of energy; I've already been fitted for my brand new pulling harness and I can't wait to try it on. When I tried my brother Ghost's harness on I loved it! Unlike my new brother Ghost and new sister Solo, I haven't been to a weight pull yet, but will be going to one or two in January and can't wait. I love people especially kids who want to pet me. I just don't give kisses as much as my brother Ghost. Ghost has become my best friend, we share everything, Ghost is also helping me learn how to behave. My favorite past times are trying to get Solo and Ghost to chase me, hiking and coming to Dutch Springs. Keisha resides in Slatington with her kennel mate Ghost.
