Princess to Welcome Sled Dog Puppies on its Alaska Cruises, Debut New Activities

[Cuizer2]

I suspect that the puppies will be ultra popular ...

 

[Host Jazzbeau]

Will this be on ALL Princess Alaska cruises? Specifically, the southbound Voyages of the Glaciers on Coral Princess? [i ask because Coral doesn't have a "piazza" to hold "Puppies in the Piazza"]

OMG, so adorable!

I'm happy to pet a puppy anywhere. :) We did the sled dog tour in Juneau one year, and part of the deal was petting puppies. The dogs were all sorts, no particular breed, and we were told they choose them for their sled-pulling abilities and not their breed. We had to pay big bucks to go to the "real conditions" to see this, and I don't see why doing it for free on the ship is a problem. I assume the dogs go home eventually?

Hi All

My House Cleaner has a Husky girl puppy called Indi, and with my delighted agreement, I received a visit 3 nights back. Indi is gorgeous-brown and white; eagerly sniffing all the new smells; and accepted the chance to sniff the back of my hand under her owner's careful supervision. I will get more news of her on Tuesday, and might be lucky enough to get another visit some time.

 

Her owner told me I'd done everything right on meeting a strange dog, she knew I was wildly excited at the chance to meet Indi, but I was quiet, careful to move slowly, and kept looking at her to check I was doing the right actions, so a future visit is possible if I don't mind visitors? Not these gorgeous girls, Indi's even nicer in the flesh than on a small camera screen! I told her, it was the very 1st time I'd ever seen a live Husky, I'd only seen pictures of them previously, and she was better than I'd ever imagined!

 

She's just had "her operation" so I think she's about 6 months old. Curious at all the new sights and smells, but very obedient to her owner, and came to me willingly to smell my hand before accepting a careful pat.

Is that a Samoyed dog Shogun?

 

GORGEOUS! So white and fluffy.

[Shogun]

Hi

 

He is a Samoyed, UK Sams often have a bear face while US Sams have more of a wolf face.

True.

 

And it can make it hard when you are judging and have a mix.

Shame on you. LOL.

I was beside myself knowing there were puppies on the Alaska excursions - now puppies on board? I don't know if I can wait until 2017.

[Wishing on a star]

Puppies!!!!! (My husband thinks I am going to embarrass him by yelling that out in my loud baby sing-song voice when/if I see them onboard. Hahahaha!)

I hope they come onboard for our sailing!

 

I imagine that these puppies, like many other things, come onboard at port. And, there is probably no shortage of puppies, so they can be rotated out.

 

Many doggies like to go, and do, and interact with people.

I'll bet the puppies love it.
