The Most Loving Gentle Giants
Meet My Alaskan Malamutes
Mini & Finn
Take one look into the honey brown, almond shaped eyes of these fluffy
pups and they are sure to win your heart over. This super intelligent,
independant, yet stubborn at times loving breed, is now a staple in our
family and you will soon see why our gentle giants are the heart of our
family! Most commonly mistaken for the Siberian Husky, these much larger
cousins to the breed are the Alaskan Malamute. They are said to be a
descendant of the domesticated wolf-dogs who accompanied the Paleolithic
hunters that crossed into North America about 4,000 years ago by the
land bridges of the Bering Strait.

I am lucky to call myself Momma to two very special Alaskan Malamutes,
my sweet Mini girl and my little guy Finn. They are both certified and
registered Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSDs) which falls under a specific
Service Dog category as they are trained to perform specific tasks. Both
Mini and Finn are not only working dogs, but they bring so much joy,
love and light each day and are truly part of the family! The hard work
and dedication to training and consistency means never having to walk in
this life alone and always having a dog smile illuminate the room and
offer much unconditional love!
Mini and Finn allow life to be viewed through a lens of beauty and
wonder. Hiking and seeking nature in that place of the untouched has
quickly become our passion and the endless giggles brought on by two
very distinct and different personalities warms my heart each and every
day.
Any animal is a lot of work and takes patience, dedication, love,
consistency, and training. The training also never stops. Do your due
diligence and research and read up on breeds especially with dogs to
find one that compliments your lifestyle. Please be honest and realistic
with your situation and only welcome an animal into your home and into
your family if you have the time and ability to give it the wonderful
life it deserves.
