When I bought my first Malamute he was only to be a  pet- BUT it wasnt long (3 months) before I started to think about activities we could do together.  I decided to try Conformation Dog Shows-I got "Bit by the Bug" - Now the dogs are all owner/handled and we spend our weekends travelling to/attending dog shows on a regular basis.  Although we love to sled the dogs in the winter  and show our dogs in the conformation ring year round and  "show dogs" they love to be!!! My dogs are all family pets first- they enjoy pulling the sled to haul wood in the winter, and also enjoy going into town for a ride to the local pet stores.

A bit about Us...We are a small kennel located on the shores of beautiful Lake Superior just 10 min. outside of Thunder Bay in Kaministiquia, Northwestern Ontario. Our home is situated on 10 acres of forest with walking trails and streams.  

We believe that by keeping our kennel small we are able to focus on each and every Malamute that lives or is born at our home, and give them the love and attention they rightly deserve. This allows them to show their best possible traits and personality. 

Our dogs spend alot of one on one time with me and are only in their dog pens when I'm not home and overnight. They absolutely love being outside and you will often find them curled in a ball out in the yard in a rainstorm or snowstorm even though they all have a doghouse they could hang out in.

All have time in the house in the evening to spend "pack time" and even get the odd chance to cuddle on the couch.

"I encourage everyone to come and check out our home, meet the gang, and ask all the questions you can.  We will be glad to meet you, enjoy allowing you to get to know our four-legged family and help you understand what living with a malamute is ALL about."

 

My love for dogs started back before I can remember, while growing up there were always dogs in my home. My interest in Malamutes started approximately 10 years ago and as I lived in the north and did many outside activities I needed a dog that could withstand the temperatures and enjoy our ice cold winters

- a Malamute!

After many months of researching breeders, reading books, searching websites, learning EVERYTHING I could and talking to many people, I decided to attend a dog show in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  That fateful day is when I met Diane Tracy of Greywolf Kennels and after much talk and picture showing, I bought my first Alaskan Malamute puppy (who was already 5 weeks old at the time) back to Winnipeg I went in just three short weeks after our initial meeting to pick him up.

 

 

To make a long story-short, I am now owned by five Malamutes, Lorca -Ch. Greywolf’s Polar Paws,  Breeze - Ch. Greywolf’s Bacardi Breezer, Lyric - Ch. Polar Breeze Lyric of the North,  Blush- Polar Breeze's Bashful Babe and Trace - Polar Breeze Trace of Wencinja.  My last three additions being bred from my kennel Polar Breeze Alaskan Malamutes.
