i actually need to be put down like the dog that wasnt loved as much. the mostly blind mutt who barked when she was a little too scared. who peed in the house and refused to eat her food. taken to a petsmart because footing the bill for a proper euthanization was too expensive. put in a back room and iv dripped to the echoing screams of her abject horror and confusion. seen one last time for a repulsed stroke of her mangled and rotting fur by the owners that doted on her when she was palatable. dragged back into that dark room and never seen again. a quick cleanup and a short drive

REMINDER: Sudden Collapse (Also referred to as Sled Dog Sudden Collapse) is an emerging health issue that is occurring in (Working Line) Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Huskies and the cause is not yet determined. The outcomes from this heath issue can be and are often tragic (dog death) and a previously healthy dog passing in this way is not because of 'being worked too hard' (in some instances it occurs with light exercise) nor it is a reflection of a musher/owner's lack of care. The dogs I know of that have passed from this were well loved and cared for. Loosing a dog like this is traumatic and I hope none of you ever experience it.

What to know:

The cause is currently being investigated both from an Alaskan Husky standpoint and a Siberian Husky standpoint. It is likely a genetic issue that originates through a shared genetic link that is coming to light now due to 1.) greater scientific understanding of other heath issues in dogs and how this differs from other issues, 2.) both the SH and AH have been bred in their specific circles in North America for about the same period of time and something is crossing in their limited gene pools (bc yes, AH's do have a limited gene pool in many instances, please see **) that is making this crop up more frequently at this point in time.

The mushing community overall very much wants to understand what causes this and prevent it from happening.

**Although Alaskan Huskies are not a registered breed and have an open studbook they are a distinct enough group that they are Embarkable (DNA breed testable). Many Alaskan Huskies have a similar COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) to the purebred sled dog breeds unless a recent outcross has been done. This does not happen as often as you think, ie: competitive long distance line dogs will be bred to competitive long distance line dogs most of the time. Those with Alaskan Huskies are also currently less likely to health test than their purebred counterparts, although recently there has been a greater push for testing. It is important to note that because we don't know where Sudden Collapse originates and how and what is occurring it is not yet possible to test for (currently as of 2026). Open studbook does not = less health issues or lower COI, it just means they aren't involved in purebred dog nonsense and are more open to outside genetics overall if those genetics can serve them.

#sled dogs #health issues #iditarod #dog death #having had my childhood golden collapse suddenly on a walk #and be euthanized because she had heart cancer at age 9 #after jumping in and out of the lake for hours the literal DAY prior #makes this issue very close to me #i hope none of you ever have to have your dog suddenly collapse #and i hope you all have some empathy for people who do #bc the ARAs have been downright nasty to the mushers who have weathered this #be it a pro or a simple recreational individual #the way it's cropping up suddenly and with more frequency reminds me of dwarfism in malamutes in the 60s #just sudden and out of nowhere kinda but bc of the necessary genes to express such an issue coming to the forefront #im guessing it originates with early sibe founders that both became the working line siberian and were used in early alaskan husky breeding

How hard it is for toxic F1 fans to comprehend death and let the driver have his space and time instead of wishing or commenting "Prime Lewis incoming" now that Roscoe is dead. It's hella insensitive, grief is heavy and severely destabilizes mental health. Not everything has to be about his job or YOUR WISH for his 8th wdc. Read the room and shut up.

I was saying to Emet earlier that one of the big things I was worried about with this fucking Kristi Noem thing was that she was trying to present this as "a rural thing"

Like "oh you city people just don't understand, this is just how it is in rural places"

And I really didn't want to see this just accepted by the news media, most of whom have never lived anywhere rural, as just "how we are"

Like, no, absolutely not, we don't just fucking shoot dogs bc they aren't good at being hunting dogs. Everybody I've ever personally known who hunts with dogs knows that a dog that is a bad hunting dog may be a great family pet. It's clear that people like that must exist - she's a person, after all - but it's not just How Things Are.

There are enough bad stereotypes about Rural People. We don't need more.

However, I have been relieved to see that a bunch of places covering this have had people on who grew up in rural places & who were pushing back on this hard, saying exactly that: no, this isn't normal.

Ugh.

I will never forget you.

It’s with a very, very heavy heart, I have to let you all know that Cloud is no longer with us. She passed peacefully on 22nd April this year.

While I don’t want to go in to detail about it; she was suffering for a while with no relief in sight. In the past 6 months she deteriorated a lot.

I know she was adored so much on this blog, at one point we got sent mail, I met many friends through them discovering Cloud. She knew she was loved! She was such a diva, and she had every right to be! I will never see a cuter, more beautiful dog in my life.

Thank you so much to everyone who ever showed her love, to anyone who found comfort through our photos, or ever met anyone through our blog.

Rest easy, Baba.
