Kristen you are such a beautiful person. We met when you entrusted me with one of your puppies and became life long friends. You introduced me to the world of malamutes and Super Man ice cream.  You brought me to my first dog show. You were there when Bernie and I won our first ribbons and title. I will miss our late night FaceTime calls and sky watching on The Ridge.

Kristen was my connection to the dog world after I relocated from Chicago.  She groomed my cavaliers for over three years.  We spent countless hours chatting about grooming dogs, showing dogs, and anything else related to dogs.  We made plans to work on my novice handling skills. She will always live on in my heart.

Kris was indeed one special young lady, a heart of gold, she was nice to everyone, never had a bad word to say, always positive and caring to all she met. 

Her kindness and love to her dogs was admirable, they were her children. I will cherish my time sledding around the apple trees, cuddling Mr Velvo ears and spending time with Kris’s beautiful family.¬†

Kris built a fabulous grooming business, The Grateful dog and her life was right on track. The loss of angel is devastating. She touched the hearts of so many World wide and we are left with heavy hearts missing our dear friend. I am so appreciative that I was fortunate to have you in my life. Rest In Peace little sister, and hug our Mal kids over the rainbow bridge for us all.

My heart sank with the news of the loss of a beautiful friend, taken from us too soon. Kristen Succop I will never forget the time you were there for me… at a National Specialty almost a decade ago, Parade of Veterans… they were calling out the name of my recently deceased Amber, and I froze and was on the verge of breaking down right then and there. You saw me from across the ballroom and ran over and hugged me so tight. It‚Äôs a moment I have never, ever forgotten and never, ever will. That was you, your heart was so big. You were one of the good ones. You beautiful dogs, your heart, your spirit. You will be missed by all who knew you. Our deepest condolences to your family and friends. May you rest peacefully, my dear friend üò¢üíî

Such a terrible loss to her family and the international Malamute family. We met at a Malamute specialty so many years ago. You were just a teenager then. It was fun to catch up and the Specialties over the years. She grew up to be a wonderful person and the love she had for her dogs was priceless. So proud of her when she opened up her grooming shop. You will be greatly missed my friend
