  "For we walk by faith,                not by sight".
                        -2 Corinthians 5:7-

The Alaskan malamute is one of the world's most ancient and misunderstood dog breeds. For thousands of years, they were a stand-alone breed kept isolated from other Arctic dog-breeds. Nowadays, the Alaskan malamute has nearly disappeared from Arctic Alaska, where they originated, because modern-day snowmobiles have replaced them.

​

​

    Yet, at the same time, they are gaining popularity among people from all walks of life and around the world. Why?  Because they are affectionate with unconditional love, intelligent, playful, and highly loyal.

​

   They love all people and will overwhelm you with affection. They are described as big, lovable furballs with childlike emotions, quirks, high intelligence, and an irresistible cheerful demeanor. You will love them the moment one slobbers your face with a kiss!!

 

   Part of this affectionate behavior is due to their long history as both a working dog or draft animal and a family dog that protected the ancient peoples’ children while they were away hunting and gathering.  In a sense, they were babysitters! 

 

But they have done more than help the ancient people survive; they also assisted in the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898, hauled freight for the U.S. Postal Service, and assisted in freighting weapons and ammunition in WW11, and our Arctic expeditions by exploring and gathering climate data in the most remote regions of Arctic Alaska where no dogteam has traveled in recorded history.   

 

    Our passion, purpose, and life’s work is to bring one of the world’s most ancient dog breeds, the Alaskan Malamute, back to its roots and ensure the future of this breed, which originated 10,000 years ago in Arctic Alaska. Our mission is three-fold.

 

 First, continue building a strong stock of Alaskan Malamutes, which embody the true, ancient attributes prized by the indigenous peoples and all those who stewarded the lands of Alaska and the Arctic territories. This is accomplished with costly 3–4-month expeditions through the Arctic, which bring out the joy and purpose in these athletic animals and challenge and condition the dogs to become more robust and resilient physically and mentally.

 

Secondly, we want to inspire breeders and enthusiasts of Alaskan Malamutes to safeguard this breed to stay true to what our Creator intended. This is accomplished through hours spent publishing literature and creating videos, leaving a record of knowledge and experience that only 40 years of working and living with this breed can provide. It is critical to share this knowledge to assure the Alaskan Malamute’s future as a breed that can work and thrive in the Arctic versus a vanity breed.
