Every breeder wants their puppies to have ears like the ones described in their breed’s standard.

About a year ago I met Tom Schonberger at a show where we were on the same judge’s panel. In our discussions, he told me he breeds Siberian Huskies and also his passion is the sport of mushing with his dogs–especially long-distance mushing. I received an invitation to judge in Alaska in November and told him my desire to go on one of his training runs and watch the dogs work in harness.
