Sergei Alexandrovitch Solovyev
Sergei Alexandrovitch Solovyev (in Russian, Сергей Александрович Соловёв) is best known among
Seppala Siberian Sleddog people as the breeder of
Shakal iz Solovyev, the first
Siberian sleddog imported into Canada in more than 60 years. Solovyev's kennel, apparently no longer in operation, was in or near Ekaterinburg, on the eastern (Asian) side of the Ural mountains in Russia.
According to Shakal's Russian pedigree certificate, Solovyev was also president of the Russian Sled Dogs Club in Ekaterinburg.
Solovyev first came into contact with
sleddogs when he led a 10,000-km (6,000-mile) expedition that traveled by
dogsled along the northern rim of
Siberia. He then provided the Russian text for a book about the expedition,
Man and the North (
Человек и север).
