Welcome to Yepa's own page!

Yepa is our first malamute, which came to our family 3.6.2006. Yepa is bred by kennel Neatut and her official name is Neatut Ongomiark. Yepa's calling name means as apache Indians language Snow Princess.

At first Yepa was placed to us, but after veterinary found out distichiasis (lot of extra eyelashes) in her eyes, breeder decided not to use her in their breeding plans and she became as our own dog. In official eye examination 3.5.2007 veterinary also found HC (catharsis) and PHTVL(open-diagnosis) in Yepa's eyes. That means that at least then she wouldn't be a good breeding dog, unfortunately!
Alaskan malamute as a our next dog's race was started by Pekka. After a little while enthusiasm seized also me and we started to find out more about malamutes. We were interested in malamute's character - playful, loves people, it's sportyness and winter tolerance and of course it's gorgeous look. Malamutes character was something conveniently challenging and of course health brought as primitive race.

For this time Yepa has turned out just like we hoped for. She is daring, playful, open minded and she really loves people. Even though she has very purposeful and maybe a little hard will, she is humble and obedient for people - at least most of the time. Sometimes she is struck by "i-don't- know-what- you-are-talking-to-me"-feeling, such as most malamutes do.

Yepa is very greedy after food and she has no sense of humor with her food. She is also very talkative malamute, her talking is everything between howling, growling and woo-woo, but she doesn't bark a lot. She gets along pretty well with other dogs, but any provocation she don't take.

When Yepa grows up more, we are going to take a interested in everything typical for malamutes: cani-cross, hiking, sledding and weight pulling. We are also going to participate some dog shows. In winter 2007-2008 we are going to participate some sled dog races too.

We are interested to follow her growth and development to a big and strong sled dog and we'll try to go deep into malamutes "spirit".
