Ten years already!

>  2025-02-07

On this day, 10 years ago, MapleMyst celebrated the arrival of our first litter, from our foundation girl, Mysti (Ch. Valkea’s Black Rose) and Umiak (Shadagrace Glorious Hulk), in partnership with Shadagrace Kennels. Our thoughts are with Charlie, Lumi, Maverick, Ripley and our very own Kiire today.

Since that happy day in 2015, MapleMyst Kennel has had 18 litters, 110 puppies, over 30 show and performance champions, and 3 Best In Show (and Multiple Best-in-Show) winners! Many of our families are also friends, and many have come back to MapleMyst for a second (or third!) Lappy to brighten their home.
