Karyn Colman (Nyrakym) is a veterinarian (Royal Veterinary College (RVC), London, UK) and has owned Malamutes since 1987. She has owned and shown dogs in the UK, Sweden and now in North America (Canada and USA), registering and maintaining the kennel name Nyrakym in three countries. Karyn has spent a lot of time researching pedigrees and collating information on dogs in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Finland and other European countries as well as those in the USA & Canada. She has also written a number of articles on the health of Malamutes in the UK & Sweden and for various web sites related to Alaskan Malamutes, as well as serving on the breeding advisory board of the Swedish Malamute club for 5 years. Karyn has also been an active member of the AMCA Health Committee.

The first combined Nyrakym/Samaljankan litter was born in May 2000 and registered in Canada. We recently relocated to the USA and are now living in New Jersey.

Since our first joint litter we have had approximately one litter per year. Since 2000 we have produced and/or owned many Canadian, Amrican and/or UKC Champion Malamutes (only two of which were not of our breeding) and several American and/or UKC Grand Champion Alaskan Malamutes (including 2 Home-Bred Bronze Grand Champions). We have had at least one AMCC Top 25 qualifying dog in Canada every year we lived in Canada since 2000, qualified dogs again in 2008 and 2012. We have also had many group wins/placements with our Malamutes in Canada and USA as well as winning the breed and a Breeder-Handler Group 3 at the prestigious AKC/Eukanuba Invitational Event in 2011. In 2011/12, we had a mother/son combination qualify for the AMCA Top 20 event. We believe that is the first time such a pair has qualified for this event. All our dogs are owner and/or breeder-handled to their championships and Top 20/25 rankings.

We have also shown two Samoyeds to their American and Canadian Championships as well as numerous group wins/placements and a Best In Show. In 2012, both Samoyeds gained their AKC Grand Championship titles.

We breed primarily for ourselves but puppies may available by reservation - please review our contracts and fill in our Puppy Enquiry Form if you wish to be considered for one of our puppies. We breed our dogs with the knowledge that most of the puppies produced that we do not keep, will be going to families who want a loving family companion/pet, therefore we place a high priority on the temperament of our dogs. We rarely have puppies waiting to be adopted, so please be prepared to go on a waiting list. Very occasionally we may have older puppies or adults that are looking for their perfect home.
