Our experience with Iron Pride's Alaskan Malamutes has been nothing but positive and rewarding. Stephanie was excellent at answering any and all questions about the breed and selecting the perfect puppy. We could not be happier with our puppy and cannot wait to add another one to the family. Yukon is a beautiful, happy and healthy dog and it is thanks to Stephanie and her breeding program that we have her!
After meeting both Roger & Stephanie several times and long emails and just generally getting to know all about them and their values, we decided to place Tacoma with them. We at Snowbaron have entrusted one of our show potential pups with Stephanie & Roger at Ironpride. The future is bright for them and we would provide references or Health clearences/pedigrees of Tacoma & Ticky's Lines upon request : Snowbaronkennels@hotmail.com

We couldn’t have been more please with our experience in acquiring our new Malamute pup from Stephanie Wilkins at the Iron Horse Ranch. Stephanie spent about an hour on the phone discussing the breed and ascertaining our back ground prior to us agreeing to process to the next step. From her perspective she wanted assurance that her pups were going to a good home, ensuring the dog would be brought up well. As the purchaser, I was impressed with the knowledge and the caring she did take in screening me as a potential buyer. Once we met, and we saw our pup (Pink girl – “Blizzard”) again we were impressed with they way she let us get to know the pup. Our family had time to interact and to ensure the pup was correct for us... and us for it. She structured the day when we came to pick the pup up like a meeting. We had our own time with her and the pup and again she was instrumental in providing additional information and direction re: Blizzard. She knows Malamutes! Since coming home, “Blizzard” has been a wonderful welcome addition. She is a beautiful dog and I have been impressed at how intelligent the breed is. We have had a few follow up letters from Stephanie as she makes sure her “Grand Pups” are doing well. As my son commented, “this was the best Christmas gift ever! " We would have no problem recommending Stephanie and her “Malls”. Infact, we have mentioned it to a number of families and when ready, I am sure will be in contact with Iron Horse Ranch. Dealing with Stephanie & the Iron Horse Ranch was a positive experience!
We found Iron Horse Ranch, just by chance, during a weak moment when we decided our life wasn’t complicated enough so let’s throw a puppy into the mix! We spoke with other kennels but it was an easy choice after speaking with Stephanie and hearing her passion about her dogs! She kept us updated on our BLUE and when the time came to pick him up we were welcomed into her clean, well run establishment and a litter of happy, well fed pups! Our experience with Iron Horse Ranch has been nothing but positive, with constant feedback from Stephanie with any of our concerns. Our Blue is gorgeous, with the features and disposition advertised. We love him and would HIGHLY recommend Iron Horse Ranch. In fact, should anyone wish to contact me personally feel free to do so as I am the Editor/Publisher of SnapClarington newspaper and would be more than happy to sing the praises of Blue’s beginnings! - Kate Hennessy kate@snapclarington.com
"I have nothing but good things to say about Stephanie & Iron Horse Ranch. We put a deposit on a puppy before she was born (which I know some people would be hesitant of doing) But we didn’t have to wait long to get an email from Steph letting us know she had 4 beautiful & healthily puppies. Now the long wait of 8 weeks until we could take our new family member home. Steph constantly sent us pictures and updates of how everyone was coming along. Once the puppies were 4 weeks old we could finally meet our new addition. Also, we were able to meet Steph and see what her kennel looked like. We were amazed on how much work she does for these dogs (as well as horses). To take in these animals that have been disowned, get them back up to health & find the perfect new home for these dogs…its amazing! They really do whatever they can to save a life!
Once the pups were 8 weeks old we could finally take our girl Sadie home. Before we took her home Steph went over some general care of our new pup. She also explained the non-breeding contract in detail, so we knew what was expected of us. Now all she asks is for updates and pictures every so often...which I don't mind at all. Also, she keeps me informed on how her kennel is doing and any planned breedings! She has also been great with answering any questions we have had since our puppy has been home. Sadie is now 6 months old and a healthly and strong 65 pounds! She has beautiful markings and anywhere we go people ask about her. Overall, we are extremely happy with Steph and her kennel we are already looking forward to adding another dog in the future!"
