After training and working with Nordic (Northern) Breed dogs for about 2 decades now, a lot has been learned about these animals that have a great deal to teach us. During this time, notes have been taken, photos, videos, recordings, and logs have been copiously documented.

Given all the information that has been collected, we figured that that it should be gathered up, rehashed, and recompiled so that it could be published into a working knowledge base.

This information has been fashioned into a form that will illustrate many individual characteristics and life experiences that one would inevitably encounter when working with these wonderful northern breeds.

Those of you interested can access this information as it grows by searching the databases, sorting by relevant criteria, comparing, and viewing individual profiles of selected individuals. You can also learn about the trials, mistakes, lessons, and rewards that one will inevitably experience given enough time to work with the breeds.

If you have access to a Northern Breed dog you will also have the oppurtunity to freely publish a certain amount of information after registering. Infact, we highly encourage you to get involved with helping to build up this knowledge base for the benefit of the community of Northern Breed dog owners.

What breeds fit into the Northern Breed, or Nordic Breed category?


We stand against puppy mills and unethical treatment, do not breed to sell, and are not a kennel club.

One of our goals is to take a scientific approach in organizing collected information to comprehensively document Northern Working Breeds as a whole, and to chart specific breed trends and migrations, as interbreeding slowly degrades quality lines. We do this in order to help maintain their integrity and genetic health. We feel this is extremely important and time sensitive as breeds are rapidly being diminished due to "show breeding" and uneducated breeders breeding for the wrong qualities, and for the wrong reasons.

We dont believe one should breed for the best in show, but rather the best in what the breed was designed for. Northern breeds arent show dogs, they are working dogs for the most part. Many uneducated breeders can easily get their priorties mixed up when they choose a breed to reproduce. For this reason, Northern Breeds are losing their inherent genetic qualities as more and more people tend to procure specialty breeds for novelty reasons.

We hope to make a contribution to educate to help counter act quality-gene degradation by providing a service that stands for the "original breed" purpose, wether or not the "breed" is considered "pure bred" by modern kennel clubs.


Rajah, leadin the sled dog team link map for the dogs

Training Run

This is Rajah and the team, patiently anticipating the run that he is about to lead. He was a proud and trusting malamute, and you can see some of his nature here by the expression on his face ("down for the job, ready to get to business").

Most of these dogs in these images, all but two of the pups behind the fence, have experienced many activities. Those activities include trail sledding, backpacking, winter mountaineering including overnight storms, multiple summits, some basic weight-pulling, all for fun.
