We are Ian and Jayne Hood, founders of Windberg Alaskan Malamutes. We live just outside the tourist town of Ironbridge in Shropshire from where we run our busy kennels and cattery business. We have been involved with Alaskan Malamutes for 13 years and currently own seven, two males and five females. Our dogs spend each and every day with us in the kennels while we work, where they meet our customers and staff and greet our boarders with great noise and gusto. In the evenings they walk and run in the Shropshire countryside, and at night they sleep in the house with us.. They are involved with every aspect of our lives and we expect them to share everything we do. After an absence because of business commitments we are now back in the show ring.
We do not breed often, only when we want a puppy for show purposes for ourselves. Our breedings are carefully thought out and we will never breed simply to produce puppies. Our breeding dogs are hip scored and eye tested to the breed standard. Only those dogs who have clear eyes tests and low hip scores will be bred from and our bitches are never bred from until they are two years old. Any stud dogs we choose are expected to have the same good test results and come from excellent lines. We are members of the AMCUK and SHCGB.

Sad news from Holland. The wonderful Kinniku has left for the rainbow bridge. Our thoughts are with Bernadet and Ricardo for the loss of their dear friend. His spirit will live on in Kirei, his daughter.
