Able Alexandra "Xandra"

About Xandra ...
Xandra” (Zan-dra) joined our family in
December 2004, hailing from Ann and George
Cook of Alkas'iber Kennel in Campton, NH.
She comes from a long line of successful
show and race-proven sled dogs with a
pedigree that features White Water Lake
lines from Nekanesu and earlier Kodiak
before other strains were added. She is
sister to our Alec. In her first season
running with the Braeburn team, she was very
enthusiastic, but somewhat unfocused and
squirrelly owing to the fact that she had
just moved from the kennel where she had
lived her entire life; she chewed necklines
and barked incessantly whenever the team
stopped, although, in her defense it was
because she wanted to keep running! Three
seasons later, her enthusiasm has been
channeled, she has settled into her life
with us and she has developed a focused and
steady work style in harness. |

While she knows how to lead, her comfort
zone is as a team dog where she leans into
the harness mile after mile. Xandra has a
gorgeous howl and is almost always the one
to start the kennel singing. One chorus we
can count on is a thank you howl about 20
minutes we've left the kennel in the evening
(the howling dog on the home page is Xandra).
Perhaps most importantly, Xandra is one of
the founding dogs of our kennel as she is
the mother of our first litter of pups, and
what a super mom she was! The sire is TWD's
Argonaut of Alkas'iber (“Jordan”), a first
string leader for Ann and George. Xandra
delivered eight healthy, gorgeous huskies
into this world October 29, 2005 (click on
the Puppies signpost for pictures). Four of
those pups, one daughter and three sons, are
now a part of our kennel and team. |
