Ghost and Koda

Ghost and Koda: The Guardians of Craftsmanship
Ghost and Koda, the towering Alaskan Malamutes and mascots of Mountain Dog Millworks, bring more than just charm to the shop—they’re the heart of the operation. Ghost, with his striking white coat and piercing blue eyes, arrived first, quickly earning his nickname "The Inspector" for his watchful eye and insistence on perfection. Koda, his playful and spirited counterpart, joined soon after, lifting morale with his energy and uncanny ability to sniff out the best timber.

Together, they supervise every project, ensuring the highest quality and keeping the team motivated. Customers often say the spirit of these two remarkable Huskies is embedded in every handcrafted piece, making Ghost and Koda an unforgettable part of the Mountain Dog Millworks story.
