Welcome to Wakon!
WAKON GIANT ALASKAN MALAMUTES are pure-bred descendants of the pure M'Loot type of Malamute that lived with the ancient Inuit peoples in the high Arctic, hundreds of years ago. These giant 'sled-dogs', were as tall as 35" (at the withers) and weighed over 190 lbs. They were the biggest and strongest sled-pullers and pack animals with the sweetest, most loving dispositions. They loved their Inuit owners and protected them from Polar Bears and endured extreme cold, and blizzards, pulling heavy loads hundreds of miles. They sometimes stayed in the igloos and cared for the little children. They made the difference between life and death for their families, in this harsh most severe of all habitats!
Marlene Ross of Wakon Giant Alaskan Malamutes has devoted 60 years of her life to the preservation of these magnificent, loving, Gentle Giants of the North! She is responsible for saving them from extinction and has never compromised her values to the whims of human ignorance that more often destroys or changes or reduces in size and quality the breed of dog they choose to 'breed'. Through the incorrect genetic manipulation by people who don't know much about genetics, many breeds of dogs today are of inferior size and quality, as well as very badly tempered and are a very sad replica of their original stature and heritage! Today many people are not dedicated to a pure bred Alaskan Malamute, and are mixing other breeds of dogs with these magnificent Giants to render them extinct!
Because WAKON GIANT ALASKAN MALAMUTES are never "in-bred", they are the original, unique, type of Giant Alaskan Malamute demonstrating the most intelligent, devoted, sweetest, loving dispositions typical of their ancestor's Arctic Heritage.
My complete dog facility and all of my dogs are inspected every year by the Animal Control Division of Snohomish County. Due to the cleanliness and spaciousness of my facility, the happiness and overall well being of all my dogs and my complete compliance with all state and county laws qualifies me for a Commercial Kennel License! I have been issued this legal document every year for almost 60 years, and I am very proud of this achievement!
WAKON GIANT ALASKAN MALAMUTES love children and are the best of family dogs! They have a "fun" personality and want to please you and be with you all the time. You are their 'pack-leader'; they need your instructions and discipline. They bring so much joy into your life with their love and devotion, you will always be amazed at how they changed your life, and you will always want to have a WAKON GIANT ALASKAN MALAMUTE to look upon and love each day! For hundreds of years, these Malamutes have been spoken of in reverence by the ancient indigenous peoples. They really speak to your soul and are TRULY the 'Sacred Ones'!!
Marlene,
Thank you for the wonderful Malamutes that I got from Wakon. I cannot express enough how amazing both of these magnificent animals are. They certainly will keep you entertained with all of their playfulness. I have owned & raised several breeds of the dogs over the years including some wonderful Siberian Huskies but none of them come close to being in the league with characteristics of these beautiful animals. These are some of the most loving pets a person could have. I would also like to thank you very much for all of your suggestions & help with any questions I have had. It has been a real pleasure doing business with you & allowing me to be in a small-way part of your extended Wakon family. I thank you for keeping this breed in such a true native form. I had planned for several years on getting a Wakon Malamute & I certainly wasn't disappointed. These gentle giants are a true blessing & will always receive a tremendous amount of love & affection. May God Bless You in all you do. Thanks, Larry

Dear Marlene,
I just wanted to share some pictures of Marley with you. She is now 7 months old and is still growing like a weed! She is almost as tall as our King Shepherd, Logan, and can now match him when it comes to wrestling. They get along wonderfully together.
Marley is everything I expected her to be - smart, sweet, stubborn and cuddly. She learns very quickly and is smart enough to decide when to obey and when to outright defy me. In the end, though, she always does what she's told, even if she tries to get away with things. She is basically a very good puppy.
I just love her disposition. She has the right amount of independence mixed in with a great big dollop of devotion and loyalty. She is so affectionate that I call her my Velcro dog. Marley loves to curl up next to me and be hugged, and she follows me everywhere. She's great with strangers and other dogs and will play for hours on end.
Marley goes to the vet this coming Friday to have her upper baby canines extracted. They never fell out when the adult canines came in, and the vet is worried they could cause problems down the road. They'll give her a very light anesthesia and she'll be able to come home a few hours after the procedure. I'll get her weighed on Friday when I take her in. Her last weigh-in, which was only a few weeks ago, she was 78.9 pounds, so I'm expecting her to be 85-90 pounds by now. She is a very big girl!
I hope all is well with you. I'm sure you're looking forward to spring - I know we are!
Take care,
Laura
HI MARLENE,
WE PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL MALAMUTES IN 1999. OUR "BABYLU" IS STILL WITH US AND WE LOVE HER TO DEATH. SHE IS THE MOST CUDDLY, GENTLE GIANT WE EVER IMAGINED OWNING. WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO PURCHASE A PUP AT THIS TIME, BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO LET YOU KNOW, THAT WE STILL HAVE HER AND SHE HAS BROUGHT NOTHING BUT JOY TO OUR LIVES. ONCE, AGAIN, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO WITH THESE DOGS AND AGAIN EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION FOR SENDING US ONE OF THE BEST ANIMALS WE HAVE EVER OWNED. BELIEVE ME, WHEN WE ARE READY TO PURCHASE, THE WAKON MALAMUTES WILL BE OUR FIRST CHOICE.
THANK YOU, AGAIN

Dear Marlene:
I am writing this letter, long overdue, to let you know about Bandit, one of your beautiful Giant Malamute puppies that we were blessed to get almost four years ago this May. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful this dog is and how blessed we are to have him.
Bandit is everything and more than you promised. He is a gentle giant with a heart the size of Kansas and the temperament of a lamb. He is at once playful, obedient, fun-loving, energetic and always of the gentlest kindest nature. He has such an endearing personality and is such a gorgeous dog that people are constantly stopping us on the street to inquire as to "what kind of dog is he, where did you get him from and most commonly, can we pet him?" Bandit has never shown any form of aggression and literally plays with any and all dogs. He loves people, dogs, and for some reason, has a total fascination with horses... not that he sees a lot of horses in the city! He suffers (kidding) the constant petting, the numerous compliments and requests to have his picture taken with great dignity and aplomb.
Bandit is a total joy. He was very trainable, easy to maintain and a very energetic, happy and healthy dog. He has such a personality that I constantly find myself talking to and confiding in him.... He is the best therapy in the world. You promised the "gentlest and most outgoing dog" and you were true to your word. We love Bandit and he is a cherished part of our family. I cannot begin to tell you, Marlene, how much joy and enjoyment he has brought to our home and to our hearts. Both my husband and I thank you so very much for all your hard efforts and for the absolutely beautiful dogs that you are breeding and bringing into the lives of people like us!
We thank you, Marlene and just wanted you to know what a great job you have done and how grateful we are! Kudos to you and please, keep on raising those Mals for another fifty years. They leave an indelible mark on our hearts!
Proud & Grateful Owners,
Wayne & Mary
