CHAMPIONSHIP DOG KENNEL
Ellen McKee's Alaskan Malamutes have achieved a remarkable record of
American Kennel Club (A/K/C)Championships. However, these are not just
pretty faces as they have also attained obedience and agility titles
from the A/K/C, and working team dog titles from the Alaskan Malamute
Club of America (A/M/C/A). One is also working toward an A/M/C/A weight
pulling title. These are Malamutes doing what their breed does best
- working, pulling sleds and heavy loads. To keep her dogs in top condition
Ellen took up mushing and it is a marvelous sight to see her sled pulled
by such magnificent dogs.

"Now when I come home,
there is Baron standing guard over his great, great, great grand
puppies, born just last week. It is a fitting memorial to a truly
majestic dog!"

When we first talked about a kennel sign Ellen felt it should memorialize
Baron, her first purebred Malamute, and her first Champion. She had
a terrific picture of Baron, but it showed only his head. However, Baron's
Great Grandson, Gannett, had just become a Champion and there was a
wonderful photo of him - except his head was turned so it didn't show
in good profile.
The solution - graphically speaking - was to move Baron's head to
Gannett's body! It worked so well that we duplicated the resulting dog,
changed its size and turned it around so there were now three dogs.
Ellen passed the image along to other Malamute devotees just to be sure
it looked like - well, like a Malamute. It passed the test and the sign
was cut from steel plate then buried in the snow for seven months to
give it a natural, deep, warm rust color.
