Thank you for visiting my site and thank you for taking the time to 
read just a bit about me and about the kennel. 

I started my journey into the world of Siberian huskies in 1996, when a female named Aklavik Jennifer came into my life. In 2001 I have registered X Ni Ra with FCI under No 04/01 - a name that today stands for a small family owned facility. One more fact to be mentioned is that our kennel is the successor of the very successful kennel in the late 90's - Spassuk Valley.

I take breeding seriously and do it selectively, providing enough  time to follow up results. We truly believe that breeding dogs is a responsibility that should involve knowledge, understanding, love and care. Our future plans are to breed on limited basis. The most important element of my breeding program is dogs' health. X Ni Ra is the first Bulgarian kennel ever to X-Ray breeding stock for Hip Displasya and to have them regularly checked for hereditary eye diseases (PRA, Juvenile Cataracts, Corneal Dystrophy). Furthermore we are trying to stay as close to the breed standard as possible. Starting with the dogs temperament (friendly, gentle, alert and outgoing), we like our dogs medium-sized, well muscled, with correct angulation, free in movement, and with beautiful heads.

We also believe that Siberian huskies were meant to work, and as of the winter of 2002 we've formed a small amateur recreational team. Here I would like to say a big thank you to Eileen Puge from Fastrk Registered Kennel, Canada for giving me my first lessons into this great sport.
