Ironpride Alaskan Malamutes

Sophia exemplifies what we strive towards breeding in every way; her breed type, conformation, movement, and overall appearance cannot be matched by any Malamute we've had the pleasure of owning.  She is heavy boned, has a gorgeous tail set, beautiful luxurious coat, dark brown eyes, stunning head, and incredible personality to top it all off!

 

Sophia made her show career debut at the Scarborough Kennel Club dog show in Orangeville, Ontario in March 2013 at only 5.5 months of age.  She won Best Baby Puppy In Show under judge Mr. Gerard Penta that weekend and multiple Baby Puppy Groups also.

 

In June 2013 at just 9 months and 1 week old, Sophia finished her Canadian Championship with all majors, in only a couple of weekends.  In addition to becoming a new champion that day, she also won Best Puppy In Group under judge Mr. Sean Shields. A few weeks later she won a Group 2nd and went Best Puppy In Show at the Bobcaygeon dog show.  Sophia competed at our Canadian Alaskan Malamute Nationals at only 13 months old, and went Best of Opposite Sex at the Regionals, and Select Bitch at the National.  She earned her first Best In Show only 2 months later.  Sophia finished out the year as the #1 Alaskan Malamute Bitch in Canada, #3 overall.  In 2014 Sophia headed to the US to work on her American Championship which she did in only 2 weekends with all majors.  She also remained in the top 5 Malamutes in Canada with very limited showing.  We started 2015 by bringing Sophia back out in Canada, and she did not disappoint.  In the first weekend out, she picked up 3 Group 1sts and her second Best In Show.  We decided to breed her rather than continue showing her in 2015, where despite that, she still finished the year as the #1 Alaskan Malamute Bitch in Canada and #2 Overall.
