My Dogs-About My Kennel
I raised Mini Eskies, in Central Wisconsin, from 1981 to 2023. Sno-Pals is the home to multiple UKC Champions , GrandChampions, One National GrandChampion & National Best of Breed. My main emphasis has been on producing a happy, healthy, companion animal. Dog shows are something I did for fun from 1988 to 2011.
My dogs were UKC and/or AKC registered.
To raise a pup that you can live with, you must take time to socialize it to new things every week. You must teach it appropriate manners in a human environment. For the inexperienced dog owner, this is best accomplished by attending puppy classes or beginning training classes.
If you are interested in showing, that's wonderful. But please remember a puppy needs to be 6 mo. to 1 yr. old before you really know if you have a show prospect.

Thank you, Judge Joseph Allen for Apache's National Grandchampion & National Best of Breed Title Oct. 16, 2004 at Centreville, Mi.
It's going to take awhile before my head comes out of the cloud, & my feet land back on the ground. In 2010, I finally moved the trophies off the kitchen table & onto a file cabinet.
Apache's 3rd CH of CH win under Judge J Ray Johnson, turned into a Best in Show at the Multiple Breed show in Ixonia, Wi. 8-29-04
This was a "cool" win, a first for me. A big Thank-you to this Judge who was standing on his feet all day long.
Thank you Judge Patrick O'Donnell for
Apache's 5th CH of CH win, which turned into a Best of Show at a Multibreed show. Mount Vernon, IL Oct. 2, 2004.
Without this last win, shortly before the UKC Nationals, I would not have went to the National.
3 of Apache's CH of CH wins were earned at the Northern Lights American Eskimo Dog shows. Typically MN has a large Eskie entry. When you can win there, you know you've got a good dog.
1st CH of CH was under Judge John F Davidson April 17, 2004.
2nd CH of CH was under Judge Pamela Perdue April 17, 2004
4th CH of CH was under Judge Francis Geiger Sept. 19, 2004

'PR' SNO-PALS APACHE BIMBO (UKC & AKC reg)
Optigen A ( PRA Clear) 14in 20# male PEDIGREE
Retired from breeding. Went to live in Michigan
Mike taking "Happy" around the ring. This is Mike's first weekend experience of showing a dog. Considering he had never so much as done a practice walk in a ring, I'd say he did very well getting a couple major wins with Happy. UKC shows offer great support for the novice dog handler.

We do like other breeds of dogs. Mike wanted me to get a "Real" dog. "Thunder" a Bernese Mountain Dog. One of the most gorgeous pups on the planet. A lot of health concerns, which I learned after bringing him home.He was a vet checked, guaranteed healthy pup at sale. Yah, right. Entropian eyes, took 2 eye surgeries to correct. Umbilical hernia. Did not fix, as vet said I would not notice when he was an adult. Undershot bite at age 7 months. Neutered.
