This year Joe and the team will set out on a 3 ½ month, unsupported, solo dog sledding expedition in Arctic Alaska. The expedition is a tribute to Alaska’s new official State dog, the Alaskan Malamute. School kids from Polaris K-12 in Anchorage proposed House Bill 14, which would designate the malamute as our state […]

This is one of my favorite photos taken last winter. The picture itself describes the pure love for pulling that’s ingrained in Alaskan Malamutes. These guys, Farmer, Bear and Boss, are leaders of a 21-dog team pulling a 2,500 lb. load of supplies in Alaska’s arctic. Angus Mill captured these three photos on his second […]

Here’s our guy, Mitchell (Mitch Jr.). Devastatingly handsome, if I do say so myself. This gal will be moving to Washington state soon. She’s like […]

Petra and Bear’s puppies are a rascally bunch! I brought all of them into the house this afternoon for some social time and they had a ball! This is Bear Jr. We’re keeping him and his brother… …Jim! His ears popped up only yesterday. The other four pups from this litter will be going to […]

Happy Sunday! I’d like to introduce you to Akizora (Aki for short) , or 秋空 in Japanese. It means “autumn sky.” That’s the name given to her by her new family, whom Aki will be moving in with next weekend. What a sweet name! Akizora’s new mom came over to visit her today and Aki […]

Malamute puppies can’t resist a good hiding spot!

Hi, friends! I’ve been just horrible lately about posting! :( Rest assured, we’ve been taking lots of photos, so we have not slacked on documenting these guys and gals grow. To kick off the weekend, here are a few photos of two of the malamute pups. I believe I took these pictures last weekend and […]
