Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
My drive to produce conformationally and temperamentally sound animals is what drives me to better the breed by producing the best animals possible with some of the top bloodlines in the country.
What makes your program special?
I have spent over 10 years working with this breed learning what it is to breed a quality Malamute, knowing that both phenotype and genotype affect the outcome of what is produced. I've studied the structure of animals of varying ages, watched how they mature and learned the patterns different bloodlines follow.
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 a kennel on my property.
