Haunani Kennels is a privately owned and operated kennel specializing in the improvement of the Siberian Husky breed. We breed our dogs to meet the SKC and the SUKC breed standard and run them through thorough genetics and health tests before we even consider breeding. We do not breed our dogs for looks, we breed our dogs for health, temperment and to improve the over all breed. First and formost our dogs are beloved family members and therefor we do not over breed our dogs. We simply breed our dogs when we decide we are looking to keep one to add to our sled team or replace another after it goes into retirement. We show our dogs regularly and compete, with some, in sledding races as well as obediance and agility competitons. We love our dogs and don't view this as a business nor do we breed to make a profit. We simply love the breed and want to help to make it the best it could be. 

 

We follow the aging system of 4 real life months = 1 sim year. Before their first year we follow the 1 real life week = 6 sim months and 2 real life weeks = 1 sim year, which gives us time to take pics and get the dogs registered.  Our female dogs offically retire from breeding at 6 years while our males retire around 7. Their competition retirement depends on the dog, but usually we retire our dogs from high stress competition around 7 or 8 sim years and officially retire them from all competition by 9  sim years. After that the breed tends to slow down and gain weight affecting their ability to compete and becomes a health risk for the dog. After our dogs officially retire they will either stay living with us or be spayed/neautered and go to live with non-competition homes with family members of our staff and friends.
