You know I can talk endlessly about my dogs which are my pride and joy, however, when it comes to talking about myself, well, it becomes a little harder.  Let's start with the basics.

My name is Stacy Buchanan and I grew up in West Bloomfield, Michigan.  I am presently living in suburban Detroit with my dogs.  I am working for Deloitte & Touche, LLP in their Technology Department. 

How did I get from there to here?

While growing up I was always interested in animals.  I brought everything I could find home with me - much to my parents "delight".  If I could catch it - I brought it home. 
At that time dogs were a passion of someone else in my family.  My older brother, Bruce, wanted a dog.  The dog he wanted was an Alaskan Malamute.   Naturally we ended up with a dog other than the Alaskan Malamute.  We ended up with English Setters.  I can remember spending countless hours chasing those d*** dogs when they would get lose. 

I went on to college, and studied for a job that would pay well, and ended up in Computer Technology.  During that time I worked for several years in a veterinarians office.  I learned ALOT and was there long enough to learn to be dangerous ~ but not enough that he would let me do any surgery. 

Enter, the first four legged companion...

I went on to make a few more major decisions in my life that caused me to take a few more interesting side trips.  One of these was to get married, and while I can honestly say it was quite an experience, there was one momentous thing that occurred during it.  My in-laws (God Bless them!) bought my ex-husband a dog.   An Alaskan Malamute, and that's where this all started. 

Mandy was my first Alaskan Malamute and she taught me many things.   Especially what a malamute should not be.  While this was a very sad episode in my life - it taught me a lot about temperment.
Beaux was my second malamute and my first attempt with a show dog.  This dog taught me a lot about what a malamute should be.  While he may not been a top contender in the show ring, he showed me what being a perfect companion dog is all about. 
Princess was my third Alaskan Malamute and my first Champion Dog.  Princess is still with me and the tender age of 13 yrs plus.  I learned some very important lessons from this girl as well.  I learned about cataracts. 
Maverick & Diamond were next.  Now we were into some serious stuff.  I had done my research and purchased these dogs because of the lines they came from.   This is where I wanted to establish my roots. 

So here I am, working in the Technology field, and following my passion during my off hours.    The rest of this site tells the rest of this story.   Afterwards I think you will realize just how rich my life has turned out to be.
