From 1969 through 1975 the remnants of the McFaul Seppala lineage were salvaged by what later became known as the " Markovo rescue effort ", in which some twenty litters were bred by Markovo and Seppineau kennels from McFaul and McFaul-derived stock, thus preserving the continuity of the pure Seppala trunk.
Seppala content will be labelled "unique Seppala" when it is derived from the McFaul/Shearer (Seppala/Foxstand) mainline stock through Markovo or Seppineau breeding, because this kind of Seppala content is not shared by the general Siberian Husky population, but is the unique heirloom bloodline, the only "pure Seppala" line that has survived to the present day free of any significant interbreeding with Seeley-derived stock. Unique Seppala is not represented today by any bloodlines other than those derived from the 1970s Markovo/Seppineau stock.
Second foundation: Ten dogs were used by Markovo and Seppineau kennels in the 1970s to ensure the survival of Seppala lineage. These ten became in effect a second founder group for contemporary Seppala stock. No other Seppala lineage sleddogs from that era gave rise to pure Seppala bloodlines that are known to have survived to the present day. The 7 out of 10 second foundation dogs are listed as follows, they are in our Huskies Pedigree.
