FIN/CAN CH SAMALJANKAN ARCTIC ASTRALborn: 21st february 1991Astra is from the first litter out of Froy, by Sunny. She is a beautiful sable girl who is now almost 15 years of age. She was a wonderful mother and auntie to any and all puppies, producing some fine Malamutes herself, such as Lilli & Ukko, and she took over as matriarch of the kennels when her mother died. Jari has a real soft spot for Astra who has been a wonderful ambassador for the Samaljankan Kennel in Finland, Sweden & here in Canada. Astra passed away at the age of 15 years after a long and happy life. Her show wins included many BOB wins (including the Finnish Malamute Club's Annual Show), several FCI Group 5 (Spitz/Northern Breeds Group) placements and a Veteran BIS 4th in Sweden just prior to our move to Canada (Summer of 1999). Since moving to Canada, as a veteran she completed her Canadian championship even with her glorious sable colouring. At the 2003 AMCA National Specialty she was the oldest dog competing but moved around the ring with the best of them and in the regional she won Best 12+ Years Veteran.
