We are dedicated "fanciers" who participate in various dog related events. We breed occasionally to produce what we believe to be quality Alaskan Malamutes that conform to the breed standard, are intelligent, have working ability, without compromising health. We test all our breeding stock through the following recognized canine health organizations (OFA/OVC, CERF, CHD). We plan litters only when we are looking to keep a future prospect for ourselves. Therefore, we seldom have more than one litter a year and at times there may be a few years before we plan another breeding. We are, however, more than happy to help answer any questions and guide you to finding a puppy for you through other reputable breeders.

 

    When we have litters, we make sure our puppies are sold to loving committed homes. We do our best to screen the owners to ensure a good match between the puppy and the buyer. Before the puppy leaves our home, it has been well care for and socialized. The puppy does not go to it's new owner as a trained, well-mannered finished product. It is up to the puppy buyer to complete the job we have started. The new owner is responsible for the further development of the puppies personality, through structured discipline, training, guidance, and love. When the puppies are ready to leave our home to venture out into their new homes, they will have received 1-2 visits to our vet, 1st and possibly their second sets of vaccinations, tattooed, and a full health exam, to exclude any health issues that may not be visible. Our puppies are also  dewormed from the young age of 2 weeks old until 6 weeks using panacur and interceptor.

 

All puppies are also temperament tested between 6-8 weeks using the Volhard testing sheets, confirmation evaluations using the Pat Hasting testing method and usually they also receive the Mel Fisherback's puppy selection method which is a test done to better select working dogs for sledding, lead dogs, team dogs, etc.

 

All of our pet puppies are sold on a non-breeding agreement--without exception. Pet puppies are required to be spayed/neutered--no exceptions. As much as possible we attempt to evaluate each puppy’s personality by observing them during their development. We attempt to match the puppy to the buyer to produce the best fit of puppy and family. In other words, we will pick what we feel is the best puppy for you based on your questionnaire answers or will give you our thoughts on each potential puppy's personality.

 

We make every effort to ensure that our puppies are free from inherited defects, by screening perspective breeding stock for those problems common to our breed. However due to complex genetic interactions and environmental factors, of which we cannot control, we cannot guarantee that a puppy purchased from us will be free of all genetic disorders but we do provide a guarantee that if a puppy should be diagnosed with a hereditary or congenital defect which develops to the extent it renders the dog unsuitable as a pet, a replacement will be given. The same applies to a dog sold as a show prospect. Should he/she develops to be unsuitable for the show ring or does not clear the health requirements for breeding, a replacement will also be given.

 

At the time that the new buyer comes to pick up the puppy or when the puppy is shipped to his/her new home, we provide a Akamute Puppy Pack which includes: the companion/show contract, a pedigree of the puppy, pictures of the puppy's ancestors, parent's copy of all health certificates and health clearances (i.e: OFA, CERF, CHD, etc) & their titles, the Volhard temperament test results and other test results such as Mel Fishback/Pat Hasting testing, health certificates & current health cards from our vet, tons of information on feeding, housebreaking training, different activities to do with your Alaskan Malamute, and a blanket & stuffed toy which may help the puppy to settle in his/her new home while still having the scent of their mother and siblings, providing a comfort zone.

 

Our responsibility as breeders are for the life of that puppy, should any problem arise at anytime, we are just a phone call or an email away and always willing to help and answer any question you may have. If at any time a dog sold as a companion cannot be kept or needs to be resold, the dog is to be returned to us in order to be re-homed into a new family, this is without exception so we can ensure all our dogs are place in loving homes and that we are able to keep in contact from time to time.
