'Everything happens for a reason'

Ivy comes to us from our friends in the UK at Amaqqut Alaskan Malamutes. Ivy (formerly Miss Red) has always looked

like her Great Auntie Bella, more than any other malamute I'd ever seen. I had watched her with great interest even after

she'd gone to her home. A couple months passed. In that time we lost Bella and circumstances changed in Ivy's home and

she came back to her breeder. The wheels started turning.

Me: "Hmmmmm."

Joan: "That's not why I am telling you. You don't have to take her."

Me: "I know. Hmmmm...."

About 6 weeks later she joined our pack and made her debut at the 2012 AMCA National and Regional Specialty week.

Thanks to Joan and Jeff Sheehan for the opportunity! She's had some fun "firsts" for a UK bred Malamute competing in the US and now enjoys retirement in our home.
