We decided on a second addition so
quickly because we really felt
Star needed a playmate. We would go to shows, and she would see
all the other Eskie families with multiple members, and be almost depressed
when it was time to go home and leave her friends. Siku filled a void
in her life that only a second dog could. People started giving us a
bad time because we got another puppy so soon, but it was perfect timing.
He fit into our “pack” without a hitch.
Siku came to us from Mary Ellen
Eichelberger and
AWD
American Eskimos in Salem, OR. Siku has matured into a handsome boy.
He has beautiful movement and is a sweet mellow boy.
Siku’s first groups of shows were in
Longview, WA as a Novice Puppy. He surprised me by winning Best in
Breed for Novice Puppy. I was so proud of him. Siku became a UKC
Champion at 7 & 1/2 months old. He won Best of Winners in three
consecutive shows under 3 different judges earning his 3 majors and 105
points giving him his Champion Title. I was thrilled that he did so
well, so early in his show career. Thank you to judges Judy Jones,
Roger Bennett, and Jim Jones for recognizing his beauty.
Siku became a UKC Grand Champion on
his 14th month birthday. This was an incredible day for us since it
was a year to the day that Siku became our puppy and the show was hosted by
AEDAW. Thank you to judges Sandra Drake, Joseph Allen, Dennis Morgan,
Judy Jones, and Andrew (Gene) Mills. Working towards his Grand
Champion Title has been very exciting for us as Siku is our very first Grand
Champion.
In February 2007, Siku became an
International Champion and also placed Group Two in the Non-Sporting Group.
The judge remarked at what an impressive package that Tristan and Siku made.
Tristan is proving he has a very special way handling his dogs.
Siku became an AKC Champion in April, 2007! He's done very well for us
in the ring and we couldn't be more proud of his accomplishments! I'm
excited to start working towards his obedience titles now that he has
finished his conformation titles and let him mature and grow. He's
never been too thrilled with the show ring, so I'm certain he'll be very
happy. In early 2009, Siku started back up in his obedience training and
will make his Rally debut in the spring.
I’m sure Siku will continue to make us
proud as he matures. He’s turning out to be the show dog of our
dreams! Click here to see more pictures of

We are very excited about Siku’s show and obedience in the future.
Check back often for Siku’s development and progress in the rings.
