Kya

This Kya my mums Alaskan Malamute I have her sister Ella. Kya was born along with her sister in Wales back in April 2011 both KC Registered and both very strong and domineering dogs.

They are sometimes mistaken for a Siberian Husky due to color and markings, but in fact are quite different in many ways including size, structure and personality.

The Malamute is a descendant of dogs of the Mahlemut (now known as Kuuvangmiut or more commonly Kobuk) group of Inupiat in upper western Alaska. These dogs had a prominent role with their human companions - as a utilitarian dog, working, hunting, and living alongside humans.[6] The dogs were renowned for their excellent hunting abilities and were used to hunt large predators such as bears. They also aided their owners in finding seals by alerting to seal blow holes. The interdependent relationship between the Mahlemut and their dogs fostered prosperity among both and enabled them to flourish in the inhospitable land above the Arctic Circle.

That is our Kya!!!
