Meet Atlas the Shepsky
Hi!
I am Atlas, a cross between a Swiss Shepherd and a Wooly Husky. If possible, I walk with my owners through the dunes every free moment or they are throwing balls to me somewhere in Alkmaar. I like to travel with my owners to beautiful areas, such as Norway. This is where I learned to climb and I prefer to do that everywhere.
The perfect combination of funny, sweet and eager to learn – The cross between Swiss Shepherd and Wooly Husky
Anne Fleur and her boyfriend both grew up with dogs . It was clear from day one that a dog would join the couple at some point. They were both completely devoted to the idea of a beautiful husky with their funny, stubborn characteristics. But the idea that they are difficult to train kept them at bay. Until the cross between a Swiss Shepherd and a Wooly Husky came their way! The gentle and inquisitive nature of the Swiss Shepherd combined with the funny, sweet and playful nature of the Husky-like. When she also looked like a wolf cub, they were immediately sold. The perfect combination!
A special name for a special dog
The name Atlas comes from a poem Anne Fleur read a long time ago. It describes a unique and curious soul who often lives in a dream world. In Greek mythology the name Atlas means ''carrier of the sky'', isn't that beautiful!
From dunes to mountains Atlas enjoys nature and climbing
That Atlas is special to Anne Fleur and her boyfriend is evident from everything. She is always cheerful and can make everyone very happy when she makes a little dance of small jumps in her happiness.
A very fond memory was the road trip through Norway. There in the mountains she really came into her own. Nothing is more fun than running and climbing to fall asleep contentedly next to Anne Fleur by the campfire. In the Netherlands, Atlas prefers to be found in the dunes between Schoorl and Hargen aan Zee. Because she wants to wander off now and then, Atlas is not allowed off the leash everywhere. But in the dunes she is always allowed off the leash. She loves climbing and likes to race around in the sand until she is warm, and then dig herself in to cool off.
That climbing is Atlas' new hobby is evident from everything. For example, during her walks she doesn't miss a big rock or stump, but she also manages to climb the table every now and then. And recently she even managed to climb a one and a half meter high wall at a gas station.
