“Grizzly”
Grizzly is our first homebred keeper from our first litter. He is a wonderful mix between is dam and sire, carrying on his dams sweet nature & his sires drive. Grizzly is very keen to go but equally happy to chill at home with his humans. He has shown the most interest in learning tricks for his humans and refused to be left away from the sled team by 6 months old. Though cautious of strangers, he will lend a nose or a butt for a pet and politely accept food offerings as they come. He’s solid as a rock in public settings, no human nor dog causes him any worry or keen interest. Over time, he will welcome new members to the pack with some play initiation & has happily been the punching bag to an entire litter of 8 pups.

Voyageur Qimmiq Malik
(Arcticice Qimmiq Hukam x Ch Arcticice Qimmiq Kinapak)
