Tina is the owner and right off the bat I had bad feelings about dealing with her. She was very unprofessional, answering my emails with several typos and grammatical errors. Then she claimed to be a Vet Tech and to have worked several years in research, but she couldn't even put together a coherent sentence.

She is a husky breeder and I currently own a husky so am very familiar with the huskies breeders.

They also exhaust their females and breed them way too often. According to their twitter, Zascha had a litter end of Nov 2012 and another in early May 2013. Giving only a five month break between puppies which is not healthy.

There was miscommunication and she became very hostile, insulting me and sending me sketchy screenshots of our messages. These screenshots were very odd as she made sure to exclude parts of our messages. She also claimed the root of the conflict was that she had not received one of my emails with my phone number. Oddly, that same email contained several questions which she answered in her reply, but she still claimed to never have seen it.

All in all, my experience with her was VERY unpleasant. Would not recommend. Find a different breeder because I found Tina to be very unprofessional, shifty, and rude.

I strongly Disagree...for the lady regarding that Tina couldn't tell you who the father was, is false, she only had one male until recently. Being despiteful and ugly will get you no where. You do not know the truth about her huskies as for a fact they are DNA tested. Not to mention she has passed an AKC Kennel inspection with flying colors. For someone to go out of her way to build a new Kennel and have it heated and cooled for her Huskies, that shows where her heart truly is. Before you go claiming she is not a vet tech, do some more research, and quit making assumptions on things you do not know.
If you truly feel you don't want a husky puppy after reading these people's comments, then you have not seen all the good reviews and true happiness Tina has brought to all her puppy buyers. She always tries to do right and make the best for everyone, and goes out of her way doing so.

She had bred to an out side male and than to her own male. I did know she only had the one male as I we t our and saw all her huskies in person. She did not know for sure if it was the out side stud or hers. I am not making assumptions only stating facts that I saw for my self. If she loved her dogs as family why did she ditch all her CKC ladies to replace them with AKC ones unless it is only about the money. But atleast with ALL SHE can not over breed them as she did her CKC females.

I agree with every thing you said. I the same experience. She does not care for her dogs and has actually replaced the female you mentioned with an akc female. She has done this with all her ckc females. She also told me herself of several puppy deaths that could have been prevented if she took the time to care for her huskies. She couldn't even say for sure who the father of one of her litters was. When I wanted to do genetic and back round research on my husky I got from her she was very rude and refused to answer questions. Please get your huskies from some one ells that treats there huskies like family and K Owsley what they are doing.
