Highlander Siberians

Highlander Siberians, run by Anne and Brian Palmer in Dexter, Michigan, has been breeding Siberian huskies since 1980 — a program with roots that stretch back to their earlier Joanta kennel. Located about 45 minutes west of Detroit in Washtenaw County, the kennel produces AKC and CKC registered huskies for conformation showing, sledding, and family life.

The program places equal weight on working ability and breed standard, with the Palmers focusing on dogs that are free of inherited defects including hip dysplasia and eye abnormalities, with OFA and CERF clearances documented on parent stock. Anne holds membership in the Siberian Husky Club of America, and both she and Brian have served in leadership roles with the Siberian Husky Club of Greater Detroit, including as show chairman and president.

The kennel's show record is extensive. Highlander Siberians has earned the SHCA Top Breeder of the Year award multiple times, including in 2013, 2018, 2020, and 2023, as well as the SHCA Lombard-Norris Sled Dog Team Award in the sprint division. The program aims to produce dogs with confident, outgoing temperaments — avoiding shyness, aggression, and hyperactivity — and the Palmers take care to match each puppy with a household suited to the breed. Those searching for Siberian husky puppies in Michigan from a program with deep show and sled dog credentials will find Highlander Siberians one of the most long-standing operations in the state.
