Our Pack

Sled dogs:

Elskan -  Her name means "sweetheart" in Icelandic. She is a 4 year old red and white alaskan malamute. At 130 pounds, she is the brute of our troup and considers herself the "Alpha" when the humans aren't around. Mearly due to her size! She tends to be a bit of a goofy airhead and a bull in a china shop. She is all play all day! She runs lead from time to time because of her pleasing nature and her strength. Elskan does single pull sometimes as well. The only downfall she has - she is the biggest BABY out of them all! And super chicken of loud noises.







Ember - Litter mate to Elskan, Ember is also a 4 year old red and white Malamute. Her weight varies from season due to her very thick coat but she averages around 100 pounds. Ember is all business. She lives to run. True to her Malamute nature, she is as stubborn as they come. She may "hear" what you command but that doesn't mean she is listening. She does best as a team dog. She will run lead if asked but most likely she won't listen to a word you say once she gets up there. She is very "catlike" in her behavior and prefers certain people to others. She does love kids but tends to bully play with them. She is all attitude.

Mauki - Short for Macchiato, Mauki is our foundation male. He is a 2 year old black and white Malamute. He weighs in around 85 pounds and don't let his face fool you, he is an absolute gentleman. He is the most gentle out of the "big dogs" as we get. Mauki aims to please and loves to spend time with the family. He can be timid and shy but if Katt asks, he will do anything she tells him to. He loves to run and hits the harness when time to go. He is running team now but we hope to move him to lead more often. He also does single pull with Eva and does really well with her. His downfall - if he doesn't know what to do, he just lays down and shuts down. Many a time, he will find himself tangled in the harness and simply just lay there and wait.




Kitty - One of our newest pack members, Kitty is our foundation female. She is just a pup now but we hope to have some puppies with her and Mauki in 2015. Kitty is active and vocal! She will totally trash talk anything you say or do that she doesn't agree with. She has an attitude and she isn't afraid to use it! Yet, she is 100% driven to pull that sled and at such a young age, she has shown great promise as a lead dog. She has many good traits of a sled dog and we are excited to see what the future holds for her!

Boo - oh boo...our other newest pack member. Boo is a litter mate to Kitty and the runt of the bunch. She is a wooly Malamute. As a younger pup her coat was cream and now as winter came, it has turned blazing red. We will see what happens in the summer. Boo was given to us from the breeder due to her small size. Despite her small stalky self, she is an absolute doll. We call her the living teddy bear. She brings out the true "gentle giant" side to Malamutes. She is very pleasing, obedient and loving. At 10 months, she is the best puppy we have ever raised! Boo is definately the family favorite. Her current sled career shows promise as a wheel dog due to her stalky body structure but time will tell. She is definately the first Malamute we have ever considered letting live in the house with us!

Kennel Dogs:

Snickers - our first family dog. We rescued Snickers from an animal adoption agency. She is a purebred Beagle and we believe she was from a puppy mill. She had all the pups she could and then was dropped off somewhere. She has severe seperation anxiety because of it but seems to do better now with other dogs around. Best ol' gal we could have. And even at her old age, she will still find that rabbit trail and set off baying with the rest of them!

Selah - She is a rare Icelandic Sheepdog bred from Greenstone Kennels in Canada. She is now 3 years old and has finally calmed down a bit! But Miss Selah is an absolute diva...don't mistake her for anything else! She is a very smart dog and loves to keep tabs on the kids. A game of fetch is what she lives for. She is Katt's constant shadow. Sweet and loving. Full of energy. And a diva.
