Founded: 1977 Owner: Brenda Potter Origin of Kennel Name: Chimini comes from a combination of my first dog's name "Chimo" which means "friendly" in Inuit. The "ini" comes from an old storybook that I found in the Dalhousie University Archives. The book was written in the Chukchi language and the meaning of the word "ini" was "wolf". Therefore loosely translated the name Chimini means "friendly wolf". I pronounce it "Cheem-in-I". Current Club Affiliations: Member: Canadian Kennel Club since 1980 Siberian Husky Club of Canada (Atlantic Area Rep.) International Siberian Husky Club Halifax Kennel Club Interests / Activities: Conformation: since 1978 Obedience: since 1978 Sledding: since 1991 Pet Therapy Work: since 1991 Agility: since 1992 Teaching Obedience Classes: since 1998 Free Style Dancing with dogs: since 1999 Achievements of Note: -Owner / handler of BIS/AOM Am./Can. Ch. Kontoki's Wish Upon A Star CGC to a Best In Show and many Group placements. -Breeder/Owner of BIS Ch. Chimini's Living Like A Legend. I've handled Levi to a couple Group placements but friend John Macdonald handled Levi to his Best In Show win. -Breeder/Co-Owner, trainer and handler of Chimin's Angelina CD. Angie obtained her CD title in three consecutive trials, in one weekend with scores of 195 1/2, 195 1/2 and 194. The incredible thing about Angie is that she did not live with me. All her training was done just once per week or even less often. -I have written articles for the Siberian Husky Club of Canada. -In October 1998 I gave a presentation on the Siberian Husky to the Atlantic Canada Judges Association. -My dogs and I have appeared on several TV programs including Breakfast Television, Land and Sea, Switchback, and Dog Talk. They have also been used as the mascots for St. Mary's University "Huskies" football team and for the front cover of the University Student Handbook. We have also participated in a number of community events such as the Nova Scotia Museum's "Klondike Days". |
