We take pride in our program and want the very best for our dogs and their forever families.
Q. & A. with Julia
Why did you start breeding?
I always knew that I would get into breeding one day, because I adore this breed and want only the best for its future. I believe in preserving the breed's original function as working dogs while still producing for health, structure, and temperament.What makes your program special?
I believe that malamutes are the total package - they can excel in many facets of the activities available to our dogs - and I breed to produce the dog that can do anything and everything. We mush/cart, weight-pull, and backpack, but also do rally obedience and conformation. My dogs are also champion snuggler!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Niké
Niké has the sweetest temperament! I call her my ‘melt-a-mute’ because she melts (sometimes in a silly upside-down somersault position) into your arms for love. She’s sharp as a tack but rarely naughty, extremely people-oriented, and an utter delight!
