A Malamute Owner & General Canine Enthusiast

Hello everyone. My name is Alanna and I feel it only polite I introduce myself.

So, I'm 22, based in South West of the UK. Which means I get to see a lot of countryside and rain
During the day I work on a farm. Only it's not a farm any more it's actually a major local production site for milk and cream. And I don't actually work with cows or milk but with all the big lorries that deliver the milk and the people what load them. Which means I spend a lot of time in front of a computer system linked up to a network that goes across mainland Europe to Denmark. Or out in the big refrigerated warehouse / loading bay in a high visibilty jacket. That I often forget to take off when I get home.



So that takes up a lot of my time, as work does. But hey, its much better than the last one and it pays for the stuff I do like to do outside of work.
And what would that be?
Well, I assist my partner who works at home - with the dogs under his feet - running his own custom car / sales and occasional metal design business whilst I do the customer service, PR and the accountancy books which keep Mr Taxman happy.
I guess I kinda like engines, even though I don't have a license and have to play with my bike off road / be passengered in all our cars. But it's cool - I'll get there eventually. And the dogs do love a good run on the quad!

And now for the bit I think you're probably interested in, seeing as how it is a dog forum and all: I also have Alaskan Malamutes. They be my babies - for I do fear the human kind ever so slightly - who I cuggles with a lot when I get home in the evening (as demonstrated aptly by my insisting on ruining these photos with my face!)

But sometimes, I should point out, we do try and actually work them, too.



But mostly they just sleep and take up couch space.


I have realised over the last year or so that I have turned into a completely boring dog person who actually researches pedigrees, is interested in showing results and all that sort of business that makes non-dog-orientated folks fall asleep. And yeah, I think I might actually be aspiring to start showing but I am still researching and deciding whether I wish to pursue Alaskan Malamutes outside a companionship and working environment, or perhaps concentrate on one of the two other breeds I hold a strong interest in: the Japanese Akita Inu (as opposed to the American-Type who though I appreciate I feel are well campaigned in the UK) or the Australian Cattle Dog. But I'm having to be patient and wait until my situation is right before I bring more dogs into the mix.

And that's pretty much it! Look forward to meeting and conversing with you all
