The 'Alaskan Malamute' Dog House

Bob & Joanne would like to welcome you to the
Alaskan Malamute Extreme Web Site

We have been interested in the Alaskan Malamutes for some time now. The bug started when some friends of ours aquired two Siberian Huskies and they asked if we knew where they could get a rig made for their dogs to pull. We knew of a guy who was a Blacksmith and he made them out of two BMX bikes for the price of £50, but sadly they never really got to use it. It wasn’t long before we asked our friends if we could have the rig back that was built for their Huskies and they were only too pleased to see it put to good use.

All our Alaskan Malamutes work in harness. Being a competitive family we are not really interested in showing our Malamutes but we like to exercise our dogs in what they were bred for. When we first started out, help and advice was hard to find but this did not deter us, we had a vision and that vision was to go ‘Mushing’ and be pulled by a team of Alaskan Malamutes.

Our vision is now reality, there is nothing like it, the adrenelin rush is awesome. We’ve now had our team of Alaskan Malamutes up to nearly 20mph and it is a real white knuckle ride and to have the ability to communicate with your Malamutes shouting out the commands and weaving in and out of obstacles is something else. When we first started out it was definitely a learning curve, we learnt the hard way with many cuts and bruises along the way. This type of sport is definitely not for the faint hearted. Like any sport, to achieve your goals you have to treat your sport seriously and with respect.

Our Alaskan Malamutes team travel around in a Transit Van especially designed inside for the transportation of the Malamutes and equipment, harnesses, ganglines, snublines, three wheeler rig and our two custom imported cross country scooters. We have only had two litters in the last six years.

We do plan more so please check out the Alaskan Malamute Puppy 'Availability' page for current or upcoming Malamute litters.

Having represented our country in the martial art world and winning many world and international titles along the way my wife and I, we both know what it takes to be disciplined and to work hard to get results.

Like the martial arts world the Alaskan Malamutes world has its politics which is why in martial arts I have my own federation ‘Guan Yu – International Academy of Martial Arts’ and it works well. www.guanyu.co.uk

So why this web site –
Hopefully to help others on their path of Alaskan Malamute mushing with any problems they may occur or come across.

Invite –
I would like to take this opportunity to invite anyone who thinks they might have a passion for mushing and perhaps like to have a go. If you live near the Hertfordshire area then give us a call on 01707 271213 or email info@malamuteextreme.com and lets get together or if you have a team of Alaskan Malamutes and a rig it would be great to hear from you and maybe we can train together.

All the best Bob & Joanne
