"Hunter" - Gryphon's Hunter's Moon
&
"Shadow" - Gryphon's Moonshadow
Hunter (Luna & Zoom litter, May 2005) & Shadow (Hooch & Josie litter, July 2006)
co-owned and living with, loved and spoiled by Ruth Ross & Warren Stewart
Hunter & Shadow are two "best buds" living the high life on the farm with Ruth & Warren. They came to us after their two littermate malamutes passed on, and we were thrilled for such an amazing home for the pups. We prefer not to adopt out littermates, and Ruth & Warren were understanding and so took one of the boys one year, the other the next. Their "big sis" was Pandora (RIP sweet girl), a sassy Border Collie who, let's just say, lived up to her name! Ruth & Warren wanted two boys as Pandora was, well, you know, the Queen! and likely would not accept another contender for the throne. We have always believed that the right temperament, with the right family and right socialization/training, can lead to a successful "same-sex" doggie household, even in mals. (Accepting also, of course, the responsibility to separate if the waters were not always smooth). Of course it involves a lot of human common sense management - and a good pack structure - and people just plain ol' versed in malamute-ness and dog savvy. Ruth & Warren are that! and they have done a superb job by our boys.
Below share some of the boys' adventures on the farm & with their buddy Pandora. Pandora has since left to boss around the mals in the sky, but she left a great legacy behind after raising these two big fuzzy dogs.
