Before the Wayeh dogs...
In 1990, I started with Tosha,
then Sleddog Rescue (700 Siberians
& Malamutes in 12 years), and these are some of the ones who became mine, or
I became theirs...
Jack
1/12/95-10/1/97
Jack - I was introduced to the Alaskan Malamute by a rogue named Jack. He came into
rescue as a really big "husky." He was big all right, 110# and
his papers said he was something called an Alaskan Malamute. Oh boy, a
Siberian on steroids. He was not a great Malamute. He was not even a
good Malamute in temperament or structure. But there was enough oversized
clown and charming rogue that I was hooked.
Lucky 1994-Missing
9/30/97
Lucky was not - lucky, that is. In his first 18 months, he lived in 7
homes. When he got stressed, he left. No matter what he had to do in
order to leave. He was with me for his next 18 months. The night before Jack
had to be put to sleep for aggression and Bear had to be put to sleep for lung
cancer, he went over the fence and vanished. I look for him
still.
Miss
Mamma Bear 10/11/87-10/1/97
Company B's Silver Bullet - Miss Mamma Bear came to me as a 9yo. She was a doll, through and
through. Lung cancer took her less than a year after she sashayed into my
life. But the impression she left, of regal grace and clownish humor as
she sat in the basket of the sled and WOOOOOOed at the top of her lungs to make
the dogs go faster and faster.
Then came the Wayeh dogs...
Summer
8/21/97-6/4/02
AKC/INT CH Wayeh's Cherokee
Summer CGC WTD - Summer
came to me days after loosing Jack, Bear, and Lucky. And she left much too
soon. She was all things Malamute. My first show puppy, my first AKC
CH, my first brood bitch, and my friend. Godspeed, brat.
Justice - Momma J. 3/31/92 - 2/16/01
INT Vet CH Wayeh's Just Before the Dawn CGC - In
her last years, Summer's Momma graced my couch and sang for her supper.
She was hell on wheels and I miss her spirit -- "I'm gonna like you a whole
lot," she'd tell me. "But Billie is my only momma." Her
grandkids Tom T. and Singer
inherited her willing heart and her devotion.
Cherokee
3/4/88 - 6/2/00
AKC CH Wayeh's Cherokee Brave CGC TDI TT - Cher-Cher was the reason I fell in love with Wayeh
Malamutes. He never met a person he didn't like. And he was a
charming Southern Gentleman than frequently lived with intact males without a
hitch. He (and his daughter Justice) came to me after Billie's death and I
loved having all four generations - Tom T. & Singer, Summer, Justice, &
Cherokee.
Egret
1998-1992
Wayeh's Skygazer WTD NKC-WPT1 WWPD IWPA-WWPD -
Summer's half sister, my first weightpull dog, Egret was inherited when Billie
died. Placed in a pet home in New England.
Spirit 1998-
INT CH Wayeh's Spirit of the Sentinal - Summer's half sister, my first conformation titled dog, Spirit came back to Wayeh after her owner died. She was placed in a pet home in North Carolina.
And then came the Snow Song litter....
