Miss Gyllie Beans
Meet mis Gyll (pronounce Jill)!
She's a seven years young Alaskan husky that my boyfriend and I adopted a year and a half ago from a sled dog rescue here in NH.
Having had a malamute before Gyll, I had been expecting the same kind of mischievousness, high energy and stubbornness that is often associated with Nordic breeds/ types. In fact, I loved this in my Mal.
Gyll, however, is none of that... I would describe her as slightly more energetic that a greyhound (i.e., couch potato that also loves to hike) and a good listener. I have to say, she's spoiled me with being able to let her off leash (note, many sled dogs cannot be let off leash, but we talked with one of the mushers and told him we would like a dog that had potential to be trained with that in mind). She is also incredibly sweet! I now recommend the rescue to anybody that takes an interest in her.
