The Malamute Dream, how it all started.

It´s no secret that as a child i was obsessed with wolves(still am), i have always had a very deep connection with them. Now imagine my sheer joy when my father told me there were dogs that still looked a bit like wolves that pulled massive sleds across the snow in the Arctic! The idea was simply so romantic and i think i fell for the idea before Evan seeing one.

So now imagine my reaction when my father asked me if i wanted to go see a sled dog rally where they pull wheeled sleds ( ´Rigs´) here in the UK!

So off we went to Wellington Country park for my first sled dog rally, i was 10yrs old.

I don´t think I´d been more in awe my in tire childhood, There where hundreds of dogs, mostly Siberian huskies, i also saw a few Samoyed´s! While looking around we came across a land rover with two massive dogs chilling out underneath it, They were so very handsome and we chooed "my aren´t you guys handsome!" only to be spoken back to!

And that was the moment i fell head over heals in love With the Alaskan Malamute.

Its a typical mallie thing to ´back chat´ and be vocal, this is known throughout the mallie world as ´Wooing´ and is perhaps one of the things i love the most about them. They Are a LARGE dog with an impressive pulling power. And lets face it.....they have teddy bear faces and enjoy cuddles! (so long as it means getting on the sofa with you and watching the telly)

I am now 25yrs old and i am still very much in love with the breed and still dream of having my own team. I have been researching the Alaskan Malamute on and off for 15yrs and I decided last year it was time for me to finally get my dream dog and take the plunge into the working mallie world.
