I have been a doggie person since 1994 when I got my first Malamute 'Ryder'.. showed him for the first time in '95...then I got my second Malamute as company for my first... little did I know then that Windy would be my best friend, best show dog and the foundation of what is now Winterwind Kennels...in 2001 I met a crazy englishman, moved to the UK with 3 mals and introduced Eric to the doggie world of showing and working Malamutes ....not too sure he knew what he was in for... now we have moved back to Canada and bought 8 acres just outside Melfort Saskatchewan... right now our animal count is 5 cats, 16 dogs (7 malamutes and 9 Eskies) one of the Eskies is here doing his pet passport quarrantine for our friend from England one is for our friends in Holland..oh and one siberian husky lead dog.. thanks to Jo Kelly for the great Eskimo dogs and Lead dog Couper.. this should make our sledding this year a whole lot easier..
