If you are someone who knows Kim you will already be aware of how obsessed she is with malamutes and huskies (she even wears husky socks!!). So on 11/06/2006 we took a trip to Manchester to meet Maureen Boyd from Icescape Alaskan Malamutes (http://www.icescapealaskanmalamutes.co.uk) and see the dogs, thanks Maureen we had a great time!
The dogs were superb and Kim was in her element. Below are our photos as we start the journey to being owned by a malamute! Enjoy.

Our First Visit [33 images]
These photos are from our first meeting with the breeder (Moe). Before this I had never met a malamute and here I was, confronted by four of them! They're huge but really friendly. |

On this trip we went to see the malamutes pulling a rig around a small woodland area in Warrington. These dogs really love to pull.

Alaskan Malamute Club - Peterborough, 20-05-2007 [15 images]
We went down to Peterborough to see all the Alaskan Malamutes competing in this show. The day was great and the weather was very hot and dry. Many of the dogs did very well considering the heat, I think they would have prefered the snow. It was a super day, this is a small collection of some of the photos we took that day. |

Puppies Born! [3 images]
This week the puppies were born. There were a few problems with the pregnancy but these 4 are doing fine. We've not been able to visit them yet but one of these will hopefully be coming home with us in the next few months :-) Pictures from Maureen Boyd (http://www.icescapealaskanmalamutes.co.uk) |

Phoenix managed to get placed 4th at the championship show. Not quite enough to get into Crufts 2009 but still a good effort for her second show!
