About Traxx Siberian Huskies

The first Siberian Husky...

Tami's love affair with the Siberian Husky started with a rescue dog, "Silver", in December 1991. After getting her "new dog", Tami decided that she wanted to learn more about the breed. She went to the local library to check out a book about our her new "family member". The librarian informed her about a club that met there monthly - the Siberian Husky Club of Tampa Bay, Inc. Tami began attending the meetings, and joined a conformation class. Tami originally choose "Camelot Siberians" as her kennel name. As you can see on the older dogs, their names include "of Camelot" at the end. While attending the Siberian Husky Club of America's (SHCA's) National Specialty in Vermont, it came to the attention of a friend that there was a kennel in Texas (and there may still be) called "Camelot Siberians". Tami obviously didn't want to use someone else's kennel name. It was about that time that Tami was going to remarry. Since she was going to change her last name, it seemed the appropriate time to also change her kennel name. Many ideas were tossed around, and finally "Traxx" was decided upon. The name derives from the fact that Siberian Huskies are supposed move in a "single track" at a trot, where their feet will fall in a straight line under the centerline of the dog's body. Since there was already a kennel named Traxler Siberians, Tami tried to make her new kennel name different by using the two "x's" at the end. The name was also chosen because it was relatively short and would allow a longer registered name with the AKC.

And then came Greg...!

Tami met Greg where they worked and they got married in 1996 after dating for three years. While Greg's childhood is not as involved with animals as Tami's was, he did grow up in a household where they always had a dog as a pet. Growing up in New Jersey and later in Florida, Greg's family had a Collie when he was a toddler, and later a Sheltie. As an adult, Greg had his sister's Irish Setter for a time and later a German Shepherd. Greg enjoys playing with the dogs and makes sure that everyone learns how to catch a tennis ball and gets the proper amount of play time. He really isn't interested in conformation shows, but supports Tami's interest completely. Tami keeps hoping that he become interested in Agility Trials, if the right Siberian comes into their lives.
