THE SIRE & DAM

Tacoma Penny

Tacoma x Penny

In choosing a suitable mate for Penny, our top considerations were temperament, overall health and soundess, and work ethic. We have found all of that and more in Tacoma (Can. CH Stonymtn's All Wheel Drive, WTD). Tacoma is a littermate to our Hope and besides being a wonderful dog himself, he will contribute genes from some of the finest malamutes I've had the privilege to know. His father is Can. CH Mighty Illamar, Am/Can CD, WPD, WWPD, WTDX (Illamar), and his uncle is BIS, BISS, Am/Can CH Marlayne's Forty-Niner, Am/Can CD, HIT, WTD, WLD (Montana). There are too many other "greats" behind him to mention them all. In combining his pedigree with Penny's, we hope for more "great" things to come!

Tacoma easily earned his Canadian championship in three straight shows, going undefeated from the Bred By Exhibitor class.
