Welcome to our website. We have been lovingly involved in purposeful breeding and showcasing the Alaskan Malamute since 1996. It is a responsibility we take very seriously and our life with Alaskan Malamutes is both our biggest responsibility and our biggest joy. We obtained our first Malamutes in 1996 and immediately began showing them in conformation dog shows and working toward sledding and backpacking titles. Since then, our Malamutes have gone on to excel in the show ring, on the trail and some have even gone on to do service dog and therapy work. The Spiritrun breeding program was awarded Breeders of the Year by Pedigree in 2000.

I am originally from Toronto ON and have always had a strong affinity to animals. My first introduction to the Alaskan Malamute breed lived across the street from me growing up. Additionally, I would frequently see another gentleman walking two Alaskan Malamutes through our community. The breed imprinted strongly on me and I knew that one day I would have one. As an interesting side-note, both of these gentlemen now own Spiritrun Alaskan Malamutes. A full circle moment, indeed.
Shortly after Edmund and I married, we acquired our first, second and then third Alaskan Malamutes. It was at that time that we knew we needed to move north and find land with less neighbours. With that, the trajectory of our lives changed forever. I give credit the dedication of the breeders who contributed to the pedigrees we have been privileged to use, their willingness to mentor complete newcomers to the breed and am forever grateful for the trails they blazed before us.
I owned my own dog grooming business for seven years. I have been involved in fitness and health promotion for over 30 years. I currently teach conformation classes at The Red Barn Event Center in Barrie ON and am a marketing executive with an E-commerce wellness company which enables me to work from home. In addition to being a proud breeder-owner-handler in the conformation ring, I am available to handle dogs professionally and you can see my schedule and rates HERE.
I grew up in Port Credit ON. Growing up we always had a variety of animals. At times, quite obscure. We raised orphan racoons, baby squirrels and had an angora rabbit named Fang. Growing up we had a beautiful German Shepherd named Missy. When Jennifer mentioned she wanted to get a dog, and we started doing our research, my only stipulatio
I grew up in Port Credit ON. Growing up we always had a variety of animals. At times, quite obscure. We raised orphan racoons, baby squirrels and had an angora rabbit named Fang. Growing up we had a beautiful German Shepherd named Missy. When Jennifer mentioned she wanted to get a dog, and we started doing our research, my only stipulation was that it had to be a big dog. We met Helen and Dorthy Sibley of Krystalmar Alaskan Malamutes and about two years later, Tkaya joined our lives. The rest is history. We are so grateful to Helen, Dorothy and then soon after, Maureen Andersen of Keikewabic Alaskan Malamutes, for giving us our start in the breed.
When Jennifer travels to dog shows, I usually stay home to care for the kennel, but love attending the bigger Specialties with her. We both take equal interest in the dogs and love spending time with them whether on the trails or in the show ring. Our favourite place of all, however, is in the whelping box with little puppies.
I am a general contractor and build/renovate cottages around our region. My other passions include tapping trees and making Maple Syrup and refurbishing antique wooden boats. Jennifer and I grew up in and met in the sport of flatwater canoe-kayak sprint racing and so anytime we can get out on the water is time well spent as well.
