I just have to let you know how wonderful my rescue Malamute is!!  We adopted Manuk four years ago (yes, from WAMAL) when he was six months old. At the time, he was a very shy puppy.  We have worked very hard and he has come a long way.  Just in the past year, he has earned his Working Team Dog title (WTD) from the Alaskan Malamute Club of America for sledding, his Canine Good Citizen certificate (CGC) from the American Kennel Club, and to top it off, last Friday, he earned the first leg of his Companion Dog obedience title from AKC.  Manuk took First Place in Novice B AND Highest Scoring Dog in Trial at the Snow King Alaskan Malamute Fanciers' Specialty Show!  He's also had three Third Place finishes in the Two-Dog Scooter class at the Northwest Sled Dog Association gig races over the past two years (with his "brother" Indy as his teammate).  He's really a wonderful dog and we just love him.  Manuk lives happily with his Malamute "brother" Indy,
"sister" Seven and OhJay the Cat.  His official name is MANUK OF HEART AND SOL, WTD, CGC.
