                                                                                                                                          We also strongly encourage you to consider rescue.  If you have the right situation to give a lost and lonely malamute a forever home, there is no greater gift.

                                                                                                                                          Gryphon and his impressive lineage likely needs no introduction.  Gryphon is a Multi Grand-Sweeps winner, Multi Best in Veteran Sweeps winner, and a Best Puppy in Group winner.  Gryphon's parents are two of the breed's greats - Destry (BIS Am/Can Storm Kloud's Fortune O'Kasaan) and of course the beautiful Terrapin (BIS BISS Am/Can Ch. Byeyo's Champagne and Ice ROM, CD, CAM, CGC).  His brothers are Austin (Am/Can Ch. Terrapin Kasaan's Look O'Fortune ROM CGC) and Ozzie (Am/Can Ch. Terrapin's Against All Odds). 

                                                                                                                                          We cannot say enough about how much we admire these dogs, and Gryphon in particular. 
                                                                                                                                          And, of course, with that name, how could it not be fate?

                                                                                                                                           A HUGE HUGE thanks to Cheryl Paterson of Terrapin malamutes for the honor of allowing us to use Gryphon in our program, and the opportunity to participate in a great legacy.  We are deeply touched ... and SO excited!!

                                                                                                                                          You can see Gryphon's page at Terrapin malamutes by clicking here.

                                                                                                                                          As to momma ... our Boots is a sound, honest girl who rarely puts a foot wrong and is maturing into an exceptionally solid and beautiful girl in every way.  She has also proven to be a fantastic mom.  She is a valued member on team; and as part of our "family pack" of regular house girls along with her mom, grandma, daughter, nieces and half siblings, and now granddaughter in various combinations. 

                                                                                                                                          Boots further proved her soundness by sweeping the ring in late 2009/early 2010, winning 8 of her 11 shows as a young adult with 6 BOWs, 3 majors, and BOS wins over specials!  As we were on a roll and Boots was having fun, we let Boots play around in the specials ring a bit despite her young age.  Boots went on to gain a good start towards her Grand Championship with BOB, BOS and Select wins over much more mature specials over just a few months.  In that short stint she earned 3/4 of her Gr.Ch. points, before taking a break to mature a bit.  Bootsie is truly a special girl!

                                                                                                                                          As this opportunity is a once in a lifetime one, with frozen semen from a great dog of the past,  we are working closely with a reproductive specialist to give this breeding every opportunity for success.  Of course so much depends on mother nature! and we are hoping she will be kind to us. 

                                                                                                                                          Our goal, both short- and long-term, is to build upon dogs that exhibit the essential traits of what it means to be a malamute - including not just conformational excellence, but also health, temperament and working soundness.  Looking at the qualities Gryphon & Boots bring to the table, both as individuals and in pedigree, this should be an exceptionally strong breeding.  But it goes deeper than that.  As we move forward, Gryphon's strong attributes, backed by an impressive pedigree of dogs proven to pass on essential breed traits, will tie in nicely to the backdrop of the lines we have chosen to found in. 

                                                                                                                                          If you have an interest in this litter, please see our application page (click here) to join our waiting list
