She had Paul Voelkers’ sled pictured in Ray and Lorna Coppingers book, The World of Sled Dogs. We were caretakers for her twenty or so imposing Malamutes. She had a couple long nosed bigger M’Loot throwbacks and they were the shy but gentle creatures. The more typical looking Malamutes liked a good spat, and look out!, don’t turn your back on the alpha Ruar.

Actually, Don Pablo, was Paul Voelker, who in Ishpeming, Michigan, developed an early foundation strain of the modern Alaskan Malamute called the M’Loot strain before the breed was recognized the American Kennel Club. The strain was one of three breeding programs which eventually became the Alaskan Malamute and is prevalent in a majority of the breed today, although Paul never registered his dogs with AKC.*

Paul is the older brother of John Voelker, a former Michigan attorney, Michigan Supreme Court justice and the author of several books, the most famous of which was made into the award winning movie, Anatomy of a Murder.**

He was quite a character and quite the opposite from his attorney brother Paul Voelker who wrote “Anatomy of a Murder” which became a movie in 1959 starring Jimmy Stewart.

Don was quite a one of a kind character.
