We are planning an outcross litter this year with our male, Bear and the female shown above, Mia. Mia is a Border Collie x Siberian Husky.

The litter will be a mixture of around half solid White puppies that look like their Dad and the remainder will look like Mum with her Black and White markings.

The predicted genetic COI for the puppies is 0% making this a really genetically diverse litter with a very low chance of recessive health issues appearing.

We will be keeping one puppy back from this litter to join our Swish pack to add further genetic diversity to our lines.

Mia as a Puppy

The mating will take place early March with pups likely to born around early May and then ready to leave for their new homes approx. end of June or early July 2026.
