We would like to wish everyone a very happy new year, especially the Polarpaws progeny, may you have great succsess in the show ring and on the trails for 2010.
The Polarpaws family consists of Terry and Leah our three children and our pack of Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes.
Polarpaws is a small working and showing kennel that is dedicated to the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky.
We were first owned by 2 Alaskan Malamutes (Sasha & Casper) back in 1991, and since then we have been taken over by numerous Mal's and Sibe's.
I will leave the statistcis out at the moment becasue the numbers vary from year to year. As you will see at first hand by viewing this site that if you are thinking of being owned by one of these breeds like so many of our friends you never end up with just the one dog..
Like many owners of these dogs we only intended to have one pet as a family member, however, it's a bit like owning a fomular 1 car and leaving it in the garage, eventually you want to take it our for a spin, and once you have, the last thing you want to do is put it back in the garage.
Thanks to Barbara Stanier of Arctictrek's kennels who introduced us to the world of racing and showing, we have become regular competitors on the trails and in the ring.
We normally breed 1 or 2 litters a year which tend to be for working and show homes, but we are happy to provide a pup to a loving pet home as well, as I said earlier we started off as just having a pet and everyone has to start some where.
Both the Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky are very special breeds, and need a lot of consideration before obtaining one, but once you have thought it through properly and decided this is the right breed for you, you will never want another breed. The Alaskan Malamute & Siberian Husky are truly beautiful dogs and have enhanced our friends and familys lives.
If you don't have a hobbie as a family and are thinking of getting either breed there is so much you can do as a family.
You can show the dogs, go backpacking, race the dogs, do obedience, agility & general Fun day outs.
