We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I never intended to be a breeder but my favorite breeder planned to retire and I didn't want to see these dogs disappear. I bred my first litter in 2005. I started with the iconic Storm Kloud bloodline; their working drive is incredible but they are also hilarious to live with and overall health & longevity is impressive. I am still Storm Kloud based but now include Istari & Sno Ridge.
What makes your program special?
I breed for a total Malamute, one who can hopefully adapt to most situations and will hopefully enjoy a long life. I put a LOT of time into my puppies and really take pride in the versatility of my dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable 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 guardian homes.
