Introduction
Send us a quick note about yourself to our email address hakunavota.siberians@gmail.com, or via WhatsApp at +380633597469. Tell us about your experience with dogs, as well as your hopes and expectations for a Husky. We’re not asking you to fill out a 50-question questionnaire, this is just a simple, friendly conversation. We’re also open to video calls.
Waiting List
If we feel we're a match, you're placed on our waiting list. Our litters are rare - once every two years. So it's best to sign up early. The waiting list doesn't commit you to a purchase, it's a mutual introduction
The Litter
When a litter is born, we announce the birth and notify everyone on the waiting list.
Choosing a Puppy
When selecting a puppy, we follow the goal: the right puppy for the right family. We don’t operate on the principle of “pick any one from the photos.” We observe each puppy, assess its temperament, and by 7–8 weeks of age, we can determine which puppy is best suited for whom. That’s why choosing a puppy is always a collaborative process between the future owner and us.
Reservation
If we have reached an agreement during the puppy selection process and you are happy with your choice, we will move on to the reservation stage, which allows us to formally secure your puppy for you. This typically involves a monetary deposit that you pay in accordance with the Puppy Purchase Agreement.
Raising Up
The most important aspect of a puppy’s future life is proper upbringing and the development of its basic outlook on life. During this stage, we continue to communicate freely and share videos and photos of your furry friend. You can also participate remotely. There is also the option of an interim visit to see the puppy.
The Move
At 3 months of age (4 months for international families), the puppy is ready to move. There are two options for bringing the puppy home: you can pick it up in person, we can bring it to you, or we can help arrange shipping. The puppy comes with a complete set of documents: FCI puppy card, veterinary passport, microchip, vaccination records, and an export pedigree for international families, as well as a puppy sales contract. We stay in touch with you, providing personal support from the breeder throughout puppy’s life.
Payment Terms and Conditions
- A deposit is required after selecting a puppy to secure your reservation. The amount of the deposit is determined on a case-by-case basis. The deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to the next litter if circumstances change. The terms and conditions are outlined in the Agreement.
- The remaining amount should be paid prior to the puppy’s handover, in accordance with the Agreement. The full amount must be received before the puppy is picked up.
- The Agreement, actually. We draw up a Sales Agreement for each puppy. The contract includes: the buyer’s information, the puppy’s information, the breeder’s information, care instructions, and the obligations of both parties. This serves as protection for both you and us.
- The currency and payment method are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the buyer’s country and are also specified in the Agreement.
Delivery
In-person visit. Come visit us to meet the puppy and its parents. See how we live, check out our living conditions, and meet our adult dogs. This is the best way to start a relationship. We are located in Lviv, Ukraine, and are always happy to welcome guests from abroad. Lviv is a relatively safe place in Ukraine.
Europe. Ground transportation. For European countries we operate delivery by ground transportation. Poland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and other EU countries. We can either deliver the puppy to you ourselves or arrange it with special animal delivery service as agreed.
Other countries — air cargo. For countries outside Europe we use Air Pet Cargo services. Israel, the United States, Canada, and others. The puppy travels in a special IATA Box with a complete set of documents: an international veterinary passport, certificates, travel documents and a microchip.
Shipping costs and export documents are not included in the price of the puppy and is paid separately.
option of co-ownership
Co-ownership is a special way to get a puppy, but it’s very popular among breed fanciers and enthusiasts. It’s for those who want to be part of the breed’s story, rather than just a pet owner. If this interests you, please contact us. We’re open to discussing it.

A good breeder = a responsible breeder.
Look at the dogs’ health and overall condition, their living conditions, and how the breeder treats all the dogs in the kennel, including the puppies. Pay attention to the puppies’ behavior, how they approach to people, the breeder’s openness, and their willingness to answer all your difficult questions. Read the detailed guide in our blog. → link to the blog post

Of course. You can definitely have siberian husky in an apartment. We have four years of experience living with siberians in an apartment.
And here’s what we want to tell you: What matters is not square meters, but the quality time and attention you give your husky → link to blog

Yes, siberian husky sheds. It sheds heavily twice a year. During the off-season, it sheds almost not at all. Regular grooming and a vacuum cleaner labeled " for pet" will come in very handy
This is a philosophical question. When training a husky, you have to use various methods which work well for them. not for every dog. Hsky isn't difficult it's just different. Because they think, make decisions, and listen to those they trust. With husky, it’s about partnership, not a boss-subordinate relationship. They don’t need drill; they need to recognize a true leader in you. And then it’s not hard at all to train a husky
Dogs of all breeds run away. But husky does it more often because they are an inquisitive breed; they love to explore the world and venture into the unknown. They are able to do this more easily and quickly than any other breed because of their natural instincts.
But a siberian husky that trusts you has no reason to escape. The problem isn’t the breed, but a lack of trust in the owner’s decisions and a sense of not having a role in this family.
If your husky escapes from you, it’s a clear sign that you’re doing something wrong

A siberian husky doesn’t need to run a marathon every day. It’s enough to take an adult husky out when it needs to relieve itself, and once a day to go on a longer, engaging walk lasting 1–1.5 hours that includes a variety of activities: let's say morning jog, an evening jog, simply exploring new routes, and mental stimulation exercises. That’s enough for a happy dog.
A knocked out husky is a happy husky. You can tire them out both physically and mentally
Siberian husky hardly ever barks. It usually howls, "talks," growls, and makes a whole range of sounds. Howling is a way to express its emotions loudly but not a problem.
If we interpret "howling" from dog language - it is a call to members of the pack
So, if a first-time owner consciously chooses a siberian husky, is ready to fully accept the husky's nature, is willing to learn, has an open mind, and has enough time to devote to the dog.
Our puppies have undergone basic socialization, which makes the transition much easier.
Plus, we’re always there for new owners, our comprehensive support for owners comes standard with every puppy
