Meet the breeder
I'm Julie E., the breeder behind Ghost Dance Alaskan Malamutes located in Alpine, TX. We breed standard Alaskan malamutes, working them in harness and competing with them in conformation. Basic home requirement is a sizable fenced in yard. Must complete our full application process, including photos of your home/yard and possibly a home visit. Please expect to be on a waiting list for one of of puppies as we don't breed many litters and demand for our puppies is high. We have owned and bred malamutes for over 40 years and are happy to pass on our wealth of knowledge and will be a resource of information for the life of your puppy. We are official Alaskan Malamute Club of America Mentors, so please feel free to contact us with any questions about this wonderful breed. Life is always better when shared with an Alaskan Malamute.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
My husband owned his first pair of malamutes in the '70s. Our line descends from that first pair.What makes your program special?
We breed a more traditional, old-style, Malamute. We don't breed to the most popular sire or who is winning the most. We breed what we consider the ideal Malamute; with health, temperament, soundness and working drive as our top priorities.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include seal and white and gray and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent dogs
Kusa, dad
Alaskan Malamute
About Kusa
Kusa is a gentle boy. He takes food and treats out of my hand with a gentle lick. He will "wooo" to the cats when they come around and he loves the girls of the pack. The only negative thing about him is he hates other male dogs. Same-sex aggression is typical in malamutes, and he has it. He loves working and going for walks and enjoys grooming sessions and snuggles.

Mingo, dad
Alaskan Malamute
About Mingo
Mingo was a one-of-a kind dog. Although he is no longer with us, he lives on thru his descendants and we have frozen semen on him, so we can breed back to him whenever we want to. He was athletic, sweet, obedient and loved to be loved. He didn't know a stranger and everyone that met him instantly loved him. Mingo LOVED watermelon and to steal my slippers when I wasn't looking. Mingo would also smile in greeting his people with a big toothy grin.

Maya, mom
Alaskan Malamute
About Maya
Maya is one of the best malamutes I've ever owned. She will do whatever I ask of her, but her passion is obedience work. She LOVES training and practicing obedience skills and learning new tricks and tasks. Maya "tells" me what she wants with her actions and because of our special connection, I know what she's saying and she anticipates what I need. She is my little socialite who loves everyone she meets.

Natchez, mom
Alaskan Malamute
About Natchez
Natchez is a very sweet and social girl. She loves to be on-the-go to dog shows and anywhere else we take her. She loves to work in harness either on the dryland cart or in weight pull. She also loves to run in FastCAT. Natchez is a natural nurturer and helped raise a litter of half-siblings, taking on the omega role within the pack. This socialization of the puppies with extra pack members helps the puppies learn how to behave even better than puppies who don't get that experience being raised by other adults.
Zia, mom
Alaskan Malamute
About Zia
Zia is sweet and gentle with her people, buy can really rough house with her pack mates, jumping and diving over and around them. She loves to work in harness and is developing a love for obedience work. She's not too sure about being a show dog, but is getting the hang of it.
