Original photo by @blueboyluca

[Image ID: Two pictures. The one on top is a sketch of black ink on white paper. A dog is sitting and looking up at the viewer. They have two very upright ears, their mouth is hanging open, and their tongue is hanging out. Most of their head is darkened in as well as their left shoulder (right for the viewer) and part of their right shoulder. In the bottom left of the paper are some words: "Original Photo by @blueboyluca" and a symbol made up of an 's', a 'p', and a 'd' with "@silly-pupper-drawings" next to it.

The bottom picture is a photo of a black and white border-papillon ("borderpap") puppy who is sitting on a patterned carpet and looking up at the camera. His mouth is wide open with his tongue hanging out and his ears are very upright and nearly next to each other over his head. There is a white TV stand behind him and the front paws and side of another dog are visible along the right edge of the photo.

Hi! I love following you and Luca and I’m really glad you’re enjoying my dogs as well! One goal I have in mind for my dogs is to title them in SOMETHING in 2019. For now it’s looking like those could be Working Pack Dog (more likely) and Working Team Dog (less likely). But either way I really want to accomplish their very first titles in 2019!

I decided to get Sigurd because I was looking for responsible breeders for my first dog on my own. I knew I wanted to work my dog and originally I thought I might go the Siberian route, but was concerned about high energy. I met a family friend’s show bred Malamute and I fell in love with him and his temperament, so I switched gears and started looking for Malamute Breeders that work their dogs. I actually found my breeder while browsing videos of malamutes working on youtube! When I visited her kennel website everything checked out and we waited for about two years to get a puppy from her. 

We actually decided to get Zombie on a whim, I had recently told the same breeder we were potentially looking to add dog #2 in 2019 or 2020. She had originally kept Zombie as part of her breeding program, but when she started exhibiting some anxieties she began looking for a pet home for her. She offered her to us and we had been originally hoping to get a Zombie puppy anyways so we went and adopted her (even though I was unemployed and we were planning our wedding!!). Sigurd was the best planned decision, but Zombie is for sure my best random decision…next dog will hopefully be more planned haha….

If S & Z were ice cream Zombie would be Coffee because she LOVES people, is super sweet, is a toasted color and is either ON or OFF, no in-between.
