We are an AKC Breeder of Merit.
Q. & A. with Jordana
Why did you start breeding?
My mom and aunts had Malamutes as I was growing up and they were wonderful pets. After I started working in the vet field, I realized most puppies come from breeders that do not health test. I saw a lot of puppies and young adults displaying symptoms of diseases that can be tested for. I started competing with mals and then started breeding while keeping the health of the puppies a top priority.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home and our dogs are first and foremost family pets. Our Malamutes compete in many events and also enjoy visiting nursing homes and college campuses.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include silver and white, black and white, seal and white, gray and white, and sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
