​Tru North Alaskan Malamute Kennels, located in northern Colorado, specializes in breeding hardworking Alaskan Malamutes that also shine in the show ring.

Our life with Alaskan Malamutes started with a puppy boy from Snow Drift Kennels.  We named the puppy Lakota who taught us about life with the Alaskan Malamute at home, on adventures, and in the show ring.

Two years later we were blessed with a Malamute puppy girl from Storm Kloud Kennels.  This puppy we named Little Star.  She is the matriarch of our kennel and the Dam of our first Alaskan Malamute litter.  We kept three beautiful puppies (Banzai, Joyful, and Evey) from this litter; the rest is history.

Thanks to Bob and Nancy Russell of Storm Kloud Kennels and Reva Reinelt of Snow Drift Kennels for their guidance, support, and friendship over the years!
