A while back, I introduced y'all to a pair of UK based "Huskamutes" (Part Siberian Husky and part Alaskan Malamute). Since that time, I have come upon two other UK based families. Again for @Viemarangelrock and @PhilT and the others, in this case, they are two full families with young children and pets. In one case, there is a family from (formerly), Manchester, although they just purchased a brand new country Estate (not sure how far away from their original home they are, and they have 2 human children (one born within this past month), and three pure-bred Malamutes (Philip 9, Niko 7, and newcomer Teddy (2+)). Their Youtube channel is "Life With Malamutes." They also have a cat that kind of mixes things up. Their older daughter Amelia is as cute as a button. As of this writing, they haven't yet named their new infant son.
A second family (origin unknown within the UK) have two young boys and a girl infant named Daisy. They had three purebred Siberian Huskies but, sadly one of them passed away 3 weeks ago (Rupert). Their channel is "MilpertHusky" and most of the videos are about "Millie" and how she gets along with Parker (younger of the two boys) and their brand new sister, Daisy.
Apparently, all these animals are purebreds as they are, pretty much within various stages of being "show dogs." Teddy the Malamute is definitely a show dog as there are some videos of him competing with his brothers, etc. And for that reason, his owners will not neuter him (show animals must, apparently, remain "in tact") but they are considering a "chemical patch" that will render him "temporarily" neutered to remove any "aggression." Phillip, the oldest Malamute not so much. "Phillybear" is 9 but has some medical issues (they didn't know for a long time but now believe it to be "Cushing's Syndrome") as it has resulted in considerable Allopecia. You'll notice it when you see him, epecially the large bald patch round his upper neck.
Some of my favorite videos from each channel:
Life With Malamutes
Here is a set where Phil, actually got to meet Sherpa when they came to their old house:
More to come later
