Okay, I mentioned the McFaul/Shearer dogs, and probably nobody has a very good idea of what I was talking about. Here is an example of one of the last of Donnie McFaul’s dogs from the third “Seppala Kennels.” The photo shows Ditko of Seppala in 1969 at ten years of age when I owned him. I took him to a Southern Ontario dog show, where people told me “Oh, no! You just have to be joking! No way can that be a Siberian Husky!” When he entered the ring, he was placed over some fancy black-and-white Monadnock-type showdogs, because his movement was so effortless and flawless. Nevertheless, those folks were really right: Ditko wasn’t a Siberian Husky - he was a Seppala Siberian Sleddog. The Siberian Husky, by the late 1960s, had already morphed into something else altogether; it no longer represented the original Siberian draught dog.
