Coming to America
My Yakutian Laika Journey
This page is just being started. It will be used to share with you some of the fun and trials my friends and I had bringing the Yakutian Laika dog breed to the USA. Which actually started with the importing of our Siberian Huskies.
This page will be an ongoing project as I slowly sort through over 100,000 photos on my phone and share the fun and someday historic path of bringing a foundation for the Yakutian Laika here to the USA. I am thankful to those involved and excited to give credit to those who helped so much
This page is a work in progress. I am doing it in sections so that I can build the memories as I find the photos and then reoganize them chronologically.

This is the boy that truly started this journey.
Nat/Int Ch Natti Husky Goodinny "Flash"
Flash was the beginning of this journey. He we brought to Texas by Katya and Oksana. I only met them briefly that day but when Flash's breeder offered for Bosco to come to America I again requested that Katya bring Bosco as I felt really good with her. Flash came with us willingly but he had also clearly done some bonding with them so I really wanted her to bring Bosco.
And that's how the next part came to be.

| Spring 2018
In the Spring of 2018 a dog show trip was planned for Bosco to be brought to American and for the Russian hander who was transporting him. This trip would be the start of an amazing friendship and many more adventures.
I was so excited about this trip. Bosco was originally brought over to be co-owned and stay a year or so. I was thankful I was able to purchase him and keep him forever. Bosco was already a champion or grand champion in several countries before he ever came to the USA.
Bosco and Diana arrived safely. Johnny was originally imported at the same time by another friend that joined us but he later joined us here due to changes and medical issues in 2020.
During this trip Bosco would earn his first AKC points. We also did some CGC and trick testing on the Akita. Possibly the first Russian owned Akita (American Akita) to earn some of these titles.
An amazing friendship was formed and the next dog show/importing adventure was quickly planned.

The June trip in 2019 didn't go as planned. Astra, Single, and Happy came frkm Russia with Katya. But, we were delayed getting an import broker and then had vehicle issues. We ended up camping in Brooklyn, New York.
