A Showcase of Siberian Husky Sled Dogs

Saturday, April 21 2012

613 7th Line Belmont South, Havelock, ON

We all know once the harnesses and sleds are put away there is little to do when you are a sled dog. The SHCC South Central Ontario region would like to invite all to come show off their sled dogs in this early spring event.

The rules for the Untitled and Veteran classes encompass recreational dogs. All that is needed is a signed witness statement stating the dog has indeed run adequately in harness.

For further information, see the event's Facebook wall at this link.

In 2007 the Inuit people established the Qikiqtani Truth Commission "to create a more accurate history of the decisions and events that affected Inuit living in the Baffin Region from 1950-1975, and to document their impact on Inuit life". 

Pages 20 to 25 of the 2010 Final Report deal with the tragic and incomprehensible slaughter of hundreds, perhaps even thousands of their  qimmiit - sled dogs - by the RCMP in the 1950's and 1960's. 


(Click to enlarge) Another first!

"Khyber" Kortar's Khyber Kommander earned his Caro rally excellent title on January 23,2011. His qualifying scores were 176, 185 and 198 so that gives him his title with a cum laude. He is the first and at the moment only Siberian husky to earn a Caro excellent title.  Another first for a Kortar dog!

"Gloria" BPIS BPIG Champion Kortar's Krimsonglory CGN TDI TT

September 22, 1996 - May 12, 2010


Best Puppy in Show (BPIS) Multiple Best Puppy in Group (BPIG)

Canadian Conformation Champion (CH) and Canadian Good Neighbour (CGN)

Therapy Dog International (TDI) and Temperament Tested (TT)


Gloria was best known in her role as the Disney character "Duchess" in the 2001 movie "Snow Dogs". Fame gave her and her brother Bam Bam, (who was her "double), a means to spend over 450 hours visiting schools alone. The visits included children ranging in ages from nursery schools as South Branch in Kemptville, public schools as North Gower Elementary, and private schools, Hillel and Kanata Montessori to high schools in Ogdensburg. Children interacting with her in a single day numbered in the thousand at the Vanier Maple Syrup school field trip day! During these visits, they helped children learn about the Siberian Husky breed, Dog sled racing and most important of all, safety around dogs and general dog information.

Gloria appeared in many local events promoting good dog ownership: 67's home game, Vanier Maple Syrup Festival and school education event, Super EX, Billings Bridge Estate program, Pinhey's Point winter education event, Kemptville Santa Parade, Friends of Ferguson Forest Day, Prescott Winter Festival, Family Cinema, Big Sky Ranch and even a fashion show! Many of these were also fundraiser's for charity events like the Arnprior Snow Suit Fund and Big Sky Ranch where she sat happily for hours in the sled with "her" children having photos taken raising money for these charities. Her travels were as far away as Baie St Paul PQ to Plattsburg NY.

A TDI or therapy dog, she had over 700 hours overall of community service. Gloria's call name was given to her by a patient in her first visit to the Kemptville District Hospital and stayed with her throughout her life. She loved her visits with patients in hospitals and was a regular visitor of Bayfield Manor Senior Retirement and Nursing home in Kemptville. Her ability to understand the needs of an autistic child to a withdrawn senior was remarkable. The smiles she brought to those she met, often remembered wearing her sun glasses and crown with her pearl collar made her a real tribute to her breed and therapy dog work.
