Zdrastvuyte, mene zvut' Danylo Lytvynchuk... I... heheh... Sorry, I had to, heheh... Take two.
Hello, I'm Danylo Lytvynchuk, a 36-year-old malamute mountain of muscle coming from Rochester, New York.
Danylo "DANNY" Lytvynchuk
Age: 36 (born December 12, 1984)
Birthplace: South Bound Brook, New Jersey
Current residence: Rochester, New York
Occupation: Gym Owner
Marital Status: Married
Species: Malamute
Height: 6' 0" (183 cm)
Weight: 200 lbs. (91 kg)
My name's a lot for most muzzles, so you may call me Danny for short.
My parents decided to move from Ukraine in the Soviet Union to the US, in a very… VERY timely date. Exactly three years before the whole Chernobyl deal went up in flames. I was this close to being a nuclear puppy, can you imagine?
It sure made for a very interesting upbringing. My immigrant parents had to start from scratch, in a tiny apartment, slowly getting fed news about how the country they used to live in either exploded or collapsed or both, and all while having a surprise malamute in the midst of all that!
I pretty much served as a bridge between American and Soviet culture for them ever since I got into school, and it was a lot of pressure to do that AND do well in school. But the one thing I didn’t struggle with was Physical Education. Because Dad was a basketball trainer and Mom was a gymnastics teacher, and parents from the USSR were like “You better become a Superdog, I don’t care if you’re six years old!”, everything about sports and fitness came naturally for me. I knew my destiny was supposed to be in athletics, fitness, or health. Or math, they were also mad sticklers about me being good at math. Soviet people REALLY do not fuck around with math.
Nowadays? I'm your regular upstate New York dad with two gorgeous twin malamute-husky daughters… who just so happens to be this damn ripped. This is how a dad bod can look, fellas! Ask me how!
I've hosted several strongfur competitions all over New York and New Jersey in the last 12 years. I've had many notable athletes under my tutelage in my gym, but to be honest? This is the first time I've actually gone on to compete in a show like this myself. It is… daunting, but that's also the reason I've decided to do this. I want to be tested to my limits, I want to show what I'm really able to do and prove that I can still dish out a shock or two.
I know having this big Slavic appearance and upbringing does create some… fame. But I'm not really about that Ivan Drago life. I'm proud, but I'm not going to walk around starting cold wars around the house at random. I could if they get pushy, but I don’t intend to!
Others might say I’m quiet, but I'd rather not talk or brag a ton. I'd rather just... do. So, say I’m boring, say I’m invisible, say I’m cold and distant, because just then, you’ll find yourself saying, "Wait, what the hell am I doing with my bags packed and on a flight back home? The fuck?" Precisely. Lytvynchuk knows how to shut his muzzle and get exactly what he needs as you all spiral down in the chaos.
American Canine Alpha is simply going to be my trial by fire, which this big winter dog is going to rain a nuclear winter on.... There you go, I've made your Chernobyl pun, laugh it off, put it on a T-shirt! But really, I feel I got the complete package to conquer this, or well... at least the biceps, triceps, deltoids, obliques, and of course, the quads and calves. We don’t fucking skip leg day in this house! These little trendy CrossFitters who haven’t done a clean pull-up in their lives better gear up!
Davai, davai, davai! ACA, let’s do this!

Danny is a Ukrainian American gym owner and father of two who sees American Canine Alpha as his opportunity to prove himself in the spotlight after years of training and coaching weightlifters and strongfurs in New York state. Will he manage to stand his ground among a slew of hungry competitors mostly a decade younger, and will he manage to relate with them and prove to America he's more than just an ice king?
American Canine Alpha is a high-stakes, reality competition show featuring thirteen fierce, driven canines from across the United States. These contenders go muzzle-to-muzzle in a wide variety of physical and mental challenges, all for the title of American Canine Alpha and a $250,000 cash prize. Here you can check the main hub of the project and stay up-to-date on all episodes, art and whatnot!
We'll be posting each upcoming episode in two parts for easier reading - first part coming out on Fridays, second part on Mondays. Episode 2, "Throw Him To The Wolves", will be out soon!

Danny's a bit detached from his family in Ukraine - even more so now, for obvious reasons, though the season was canonically taped in 2021 and before the conflict exploded. Some of his distant relatives are indeed fighting in the Ukrainian army, and of course Danny himself is a big supporter of the cause.
