Meet the breeder

I'm Marceline G., the breeder behind Thistle Hill Siberians located in Meadow Vista, CA. Thistle Hill is a small, purpose-driven Siberian Husky breeding program focused on health testing, sound structure, stable temperament, and thoughtful, lifelong placement. Dogs are evaluated through showing and real-world suitability to support responsible, long-term outcomes.

Q. & A. with Marceline

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My path into breeding developed through hands-on experience and a growing focus on structure, temperament, and ethical responsibility. Over time, this led to a deliberate, standards-based approach centered on evaluation, transparency, and accountability to both the dogs produced and the families who bring them home.

  • What makes your program special?

    Thistle Hill is intentionally small and focused on quality over quantity. Dogs are health tested, evaluated through showing, and placed based on temperament and fit rather than preference. Every puppy is backed by lifelong breeder responsibility, transparent communication, and a commitment to long-term welfare.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brown and white, black tan and white, sable and white, gray and white, agouti and white, red and white, black and white, white, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    The care with which Marceline handled our interaction was very much appreciated. When we first started looking on Good Dog, I was looking for a Siberian Husky puppy. This would be the third Siberian Husky I would own. But when I stumbled across the description of Kiro on from Thistle Hill Siberians, a four year old dog, I knew that he fit our lifestyle and what we were looking for. Marceline agreed to meet with us at a park so we could assess how the dog reacted to us and how we reacted to him. Marceline was clear that there was another couple who had adopted from them previously, that was also interested. But by the time we met - I think we both knew that Kiro was the perfect fit for our family. Marceline was very clear about his specific behaviors so we knew what to expect in advance. Kiro has fit into our home very quickly and we love having him as a part of our family. He has become very attached to us very quickly. If we were looking for another Siberian Husky at this point, Marceline and Thistle Hill would be our first stop!

    Marceline is a wonderful husky breeder. She takes it very seriously, and is in it for the right reasons. We felt a bit guilty at first going with a breeder vs. a shelter/foster husky, but after learning about all the care she puts into testing and screening her dogs for common breed issues, and training them from the moment they're born, we knew we wouldn't find a better husky for us. We also love that it's a whole family project for them, and enjoyed all the updates we saw and received before our Leo came home with us. She's someone with very high standards, and you can see this in every aspect of the process from interviewing potential homes, taking the litter's photos each week, writing her newsletter, answering our questions both before and after picking up Leo, packing his travel bag. She balances doing what's right for the pups with keeping all possible owners happy. If you're looking for a husky, I recommend getting on her waitlist for any future litter. We knew we wanted a red and white husky and that's what originally led us to her recent litter that had two. But after seeing all of them grow each week, we'd be happy with any one of them. They're all so beautiful, smart, and sweet. We're enjoying keeping in touch with the other dog parents from our litter via a Facebook group, and learning about their pup's journey, sharing tips, and seeing Leo's sisters and brothers grow up. I love working with a true professional, and am confident you'll be pleased with your decision to bring home one of Marceline's husky puppies.

    Could have asked for a better breeder. We are extremely happy with our new puppy. Marceline she was very pleasant to work with. She explains everything to us about Socrates (new pup) and what to what was in his handbook that she provided. She also gave us a very cute box with a blanket and a stuffy for Socrates. If I was to get another puppy I would definitely go through Marceline. Marceline was great with communication, she would answer all our questions promptly. I will highly recommend her to our friends and loved ones. Thank you again Marceline.

    We first started looking for a husky puppy in early October and ThistleHill Siberians immediately caught our attention. Marceline answered our questions right away and kept us updated on the puppies. She was very thoughtful and placed Rosalind with us based on temperament, lifestyle, and listened to everything we were looking for in a puppy. Rosalind had a short start in the show scene, and Marceline kept us involved through the entire process. We really appreciated being brought along, and taught a lot about what it means to not only show the dogs, but demonstrated the bond between handler and dog. The entire process was nothing short of amazing, she made sure that we had everything we needed even including a specialized box of goodies for Rosalind! We love Rosalind to bits and we couldn’t be happier with her! If we were to get another husky in the future, we would 100% come back to Marceline!

    From the very beginning, Thistle Hill Siberians showed an exceptional level of care, knowledge, and heartfelt dedication to their dogs and the Siberian Husky breed as a whole. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process of adopting our puppy. From before the puppies were born to every stage of watching them grow. We always felt informed and supported through messages, FaceTime check-ins, weekly newsletters, and thoughtful updates with milestone photos. What meant the most to us was the care taken to truly understand each puppy’s temperament and ensure the right fit for every family. With two adult Huskies already at home, we appreciated how intentional and knowledgeable the placement process by Marceline was. Puppies are clearly matched based on compatibility to find the best home for each of their needs. The tips, guidance, and insight shared along the way gave us the confidence of bringing a new member into our pack. We also loved being able to follow along on Instagram, which made us feel even more connected. Above all, we feel like part of a family and we are incredibly grateful to have found Thistle Hill Siberians. We deeply love our puppy. Thank you for everything you do and for raising such wonderful dogs.

    I can’t say enough good things about Marceline! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, patient, and informative. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of bringing Kon home. Along with that she was incredibly flexible, making everything as smooth and easy as possible. Kon has been an absolute joy to have around, and I know a big part of that is thanks to the love and care Marceline gave him. When it comes to dog breeders, Marceline is everything you could ask for and more. A truly trustworthy, responsible, patient, and above all else a caring breeder.
