I have been around dogs for all of my life, I was brought up in a family that always had pets and amongst ponies, rabbits, guinea pigs and cats we always had dogs.
Having wanted a Malamute since childhood but only really knowing them through books and occasional sightings, I got my first real taster of them when Stuart and I visited a kennel in 1990.
We agreed that we had to have one in our family but we decided that due to our work and travel commitments at that time we should wait.
We were finally in a position to offer a stable home to a Malamute when I started working from home, after completing our research we joined lists in early 1999 and waited …… The wait finally came to an end in 2001 when Indy came to join us. We originally had hoped for just one pet Mal, but, before the wait was over and while spectating at shows for a couple of years we thought it would be a good idea to enter this world.
Once we owned one Malamute we soon realised that having one just really wasn't enough and so Milo joined us. Since broadening our interest in sled dogs in general we found we were also drawn to the Greenland Dog, hence Otis joined our ever growing pack. If that wasn't enough we have since homed Nova the Mal, Grit the Greenland, Emerly, Onyx, Nero & Minx the Mals, the yearning hasn't stopped there either as we already have plans for more.
As mentioned I currently show all of our dogs to great success, although Nova hasn't been shown as much as the others due to her lack of interest in showing. Her interest lies in agility and she is proving that Mals can do it and can do it well!. The dogs are all enjoying recreational runs in harness, we also have panniers and backpack with them around some lovely walks, we are also just starting out with weight pull training. All of our dogs are exercised daily, we alternate with road walking, free running in our 2 acre paddock, biking & working each day to keep them content.

We attended the Alaskan Malamute National and Specialty shows and seminars in America in 2002, the two judging seminars held here in 2004 and the judging seminar held here in 2005 to further our knowledge and experience of the breed. We also attended the Greenland Dog seminar held in 2004.
I currently serve on the Greenland Dog Club of Great Britain's committee in the position of Treasurer and Membership Secretary. I also served on  the Alaskan Malamute Club of United Kingdom's committee for two years achieving too many  accomplishments to list to much acclaim from the members (including fostering two dogs for 4 months). Stuart is currently serving on the Greenland Dog Club of Great Britain's committee in the position of Secretary. Stuart also served on the Alaskan Malamute Club of United Kingdom's committee for two years, running the KCGC scheme amongst many other duties, to which he received much membership admiration. Stuart is a Kennel Club associate member and also the Greenland Dog breed note correspondent for the "Our Dogs" weekly newspaper. We are both on the C judging list for both breeds.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website dedicated to the two breeds that we love, we hope you enjoy it.
