I was born in Alaska, ( dad was born there he's half native American, mom is from England) when it was 12 we moved to England , it took a while to get use to things here but i love England just as much as back home in Alaska , i go back every year on my own as i have family still out there and it's nice to go back to my traditions as a half native American

, one thing I'm miss is the wildlife you don't see many moose or bears in the uk

We used to have a Board member from Alaska, and he taught us lots about the countryside there and about mushing. Really really interesting.

As a kid i used to love love love watching the Iditarod race , huskys and malamutes mainly but also other northern breeds. It was great as a kid and i always will have a soft spot for them

dad was born there he's half native American, mom is from England...as a half native American
Just because I can't help being pedantic, doesn't that mean you're a quarter Native American, not half?
Now I know why you like GSs - it's like living with a bear

I don't know anyone who doesn't think Alaska is part of America

I am an American and never heard of anyone not recognizing Alaska as part of the US either.

Not really. It's just that they have a different culture, and have not until now considered dogs as friends. Attitudes can be better changed by kindness and empathy, and attitudes are slowly changing.
