Hera (Hilma) from Nellim Husky (Finish import)


Hilma was imported by us from Matti Salmi and Jane Helppi / Nellim Husky in Finland July 2022 (almost 3 years old). She is a beautiful, sweet, intelligent female. We love her efficient running and movements, her focus and work ethics. She is fast and energetic, with high endurance, and she has also proven herself to be a good lead dog who loves to take commands chasing speed. Hilma was mated 3 times with Nikolai av Chi-Ka Siberians end of July 2023. But the matings did not result in any puppies. Nikolai has later been used with two additional females - but sadly no offsprings from any of these matings either.

Dog shows

Hilma is not a big fan of dog shows - she really don't see the point in running in circles - and made that perfectly clear at the one show that we took her to.... She is only lacking one blue ribbon (Very good) to earn her NTCH title - perhaps we will try again - at some point in the future....
