North Wapiti Siberian Husky Kennels

"OLENA"
FOUR TIME IDITAROD VETERAN
Alaskan's Olena of Anadyr - Born: July 28th, 2000
(Alaskan's Meekur of Anadyr x Alaskan's Yakut of Anadyr II)

Dominant, outspoken, opinionated, and EVIL are probably the most often used words to describe Olena. Yet, despite it - well, probably because of it, she is among my very favorites in the yard. 

She is a dog full of contradictions - ridiculously confident and hard driving - yet very sweet and loving to people - and a fabulous Mom to her pups. She has never managed to finish an Iditarod with me, but she is a asset to any team she is a member of for any time she is in it. She is absolutely DRIVEN in harness. I have described her as, possibly the best dog I have ever hooked up.
