Throughout the year the Karluk Team attend charity events helping to raise money for good causes & bringing a smile to lots of faces when they"hug a husky". At christmas time the K9 sulky (a sort of wheeled sleigh) is transformed into a Christmas sleigh and we visit schools etc to give sleigh rides to children. We have visited a pack of brownies, a young farmers club ,lots of fetes & events explaining the history of the breed & the ups & downs etc of owning a Siberian Husky.

Pets as Therapy. Within the Karluk Pack there are two Huskies, Orga & Cub who are now both registered Pets as Therapy dogs, they visit nursing homes , schools, hospitals etc where the residents/patients are able to hug, kiss & just generally make lots of fuss of the dogs, the dogs in return give them so much happiness, some of the people Karluk visit used to have their own dogs and miss their pet very much, the visits cheer them up so much, this kind of work with the dogs is probably the most rewarding work that Karluk do.

Siberian Huskies. The Siberian Husky was the winter sled dog of the Chukchi people of Siberia. They were expected to travel fairly quickly for long distances pulling a moderate load in low temperatures, while not eating their masters out of house and home. They were welcome in the dwellings as playmates for the children and as hot water bottles at night. During the summer they ran loose, hunting and fending for themselves. This lifestyle, which continued unchanged for centuries, produced a breed of dog which retained the pack living and hunting attributes of the wolf, while being unaggressive and affectionate towards people.

Husky Temperament. Siberian huskies are an amazing breed of dog and truly stunning in appearance,they are however not one of the easiest breeds to look after and train. They need lots of exercise which must be done on the lead or in harness,they crave company and can become destructive when left alone, they love to howl, they shed their coat twice a year and it is a serious amount of shedding. They need lots of mental stimulation they get bored very easily. They are keen & efficient hunters of any animal non canine . It is said that have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires & a touch that never hurts.

F2 Motorcycles Ltd and Karluk A chance meeting between Lizi Angel and one of the Karluk team resulted in a long chat about dogs and the work Karluk were doing. It was also mentioned that they needed a sponsor to help keep this work going. If you have ever been to the shop and talked to us you will know we are a bit soft when it comes to dogs. Karluk do a wonderful job of promoting the correct care of the Siberian Husky and the Pets as Therapy program they participate in helps hundreds of people every year. We are now their sponsors.

Outdoor Events. Karluk attend steam shows, country fairs and heritage shows throughout southern England. Keep a look out for them and give the dogs a hug if you see them.
