The Last Dogs Of Winter

Synopsis

The Canadian Eskimo Dog, or Qimmiq, were once indispensible to human life in the Canadian arctic. Today, the breed faces extinction. Since 1976 Brian Ladoon has stuck to a promise to maintain a viable breeding colony battling chronic underfunding, wandering polar bears, officialdom and a harsh natural environment to keep his word.

About the Film

This movie started out with a chance encounter. Caleb Ross’s mother lives in Northland, and so does my mother in law. We bumped into each by chance at a beach fair. I first worked with Caleb in 1999 when I directed a few episodes of The Tribe. I liked him a lot as an actor and as a person. Our paths have crossed several times since then, but I had not seen much of him for a few years.
