Ame is my very first working dog from Kelly and Kim Berg of Kelim Huskies in New Hampshire. I had been in contact with the Bergs for a while waiting for the right time when I saw a puppy named "Meg" available on their website. Meg soon became Ame. I am very fortunate to have started my team with her, she is an extremely sweet, sassy, and intelligent dog. She is the best dog I could have asked for to start dabbling into sports with, I never expected to do so many events. Early on she was the perfect leader for my small pet team. As I got more dogs, Ame preferred running in team or wheel, though she still had leading capability and would pull a team gee or haw. Now Ame just enjoys being a spoiled house dog. Ame's name is from the animated movie Wolf Children.
