I will never forget the first time I met Spank. Spank is what we call our "Boss Dog" That means he is in charge of all of us. In a wolf pack there is an alpha male and an alpha female who are in charge of the hierarchy (like a Mom and Dad that are in charge of the family)!? Spank is our alpha male -- the top dog. He can be very serious and will reprimand you if you are messing around! But he's also a really nice guy.

This is how our Kennel looks. We have big trees that provide shade in the summertime (it can be HOT with those big coats), we each have our own circle and our own house. Being together like this we can play with our neighbors. Around the yard, is a big fence and every day in the summer time Paul and Mille let us run around and play for a while. That way we get to have fun with each other in the summertime and stay good friends.

I could not live anywhere else than with all my friends. We are often called "pack dogs" because it is so important to us to be together. Okay, I'll admit, sometimes you can get tired of it, but just for a short while. We like to let each other know how we are doing, AND everybody around us. So we howl a lot. We always howl when the sun rises and when we are fed.
