***************

If you have an interest in our present or upcoming litters, please e-mail us at Brigitte@alaskanmalamutes.com  and tell us a bit about yourself and your family and why you would like an Alaskan Malamute puppy. If at all possible, we always like to do an in depth interview by phone or better yet, in person, this helps us to get an understanding of your family needs, your family's lifestyle and it lets us determine whether a Malamute is the right breed for you. Reservations are on a first come basis. Once you are approved, a deposit is required to hold a puppy for you. This let's us know how many puppies are placed and that you are willing to make this commitment. If, for any reason, you decide that you no longer want a puppy, then the deposit is non refundable because in the meantime we have turned away other potential puppy buyers. The breeder reserves the right to choose a puppy with the most suitable temperament for your home and lifestyle . Pet puppies are placed in the order reservations and deposits were received . Potential show puppies are chosen first.  If for any reason I do not have a puppy for you, the deposit will be refunded or you can wait for a puppy from our next litter. All pet puppies are sold with a mandatory spay/neuter clause and  non-breeding agreement registered with the CKC.

ALL Alaskan Malamutes are strong willed and independent thinkers, they are not robots and they are not the ideal choice for those weak at heart or first time dog owners. Please do not contact us if you live in a Condo or an Apartment.  Even though Malamutes make great family pets, they are not the ideal dog to adopt into a family with very young children. Do your research, make an informed decision.

All puppies leave here no sooner that 9 weeks of age. They get a health check from a Veterinarian, have been dewormed, have their first inoculations and are permanently identified with a micro-chip. They are registered with the CKC. A puppy kit goes home with all the pups and it includes a contract and other paperwork, lots of Malamute  and training information, 6 weeks of complimentary pet insurance (you are under no obligation to continue), food dish, collar & leash, toys and all pups go home with a one week supply of frozen food.

Serious inquiries only- potential homes are carefully screened and selected. Do not contact us unless you are willing to make a lifetime commitment to the dog.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!

This is a warning to all who are searching for a new puppy from a BREEDER, be it an Alaskan Malamute or some other purebred dog. A purebred dog is a dog that comes with CKC  registration papers. Advertising a dog as purebred means that the dog is registered or can be registered with the affiliated dog club of the country of birth. If the dog cannot be registered but the breeder claims it is a purebred, that said breeder is breaking the LAW under the Canadian Livestock Act and legal action can be taken. The CKC also requires that each dog is identified by tattoo or microchip before it leaves the breeder. A member of the CKC is NOT allowed to breed unregistered dogs, nor are they allowed to sell a puppy for less without papers. If a buyer does not want papers for their dog that does not mean that the dog is cheaper in price, nor should you ever be charged extra for the papers, that too is against the law. HEALTH CLEARANCES Breeders that are concerned about the future of the breed take every precaution before ever deciding to breed a litter. Much time is done on researching pedigrees to make the best genetic breeding choices.They make sure that parents have the health clearances necessary for the relative health issues in the breed. They will at least have done a thyroid panel, have the eyes examined, also the dog will have the hips x-rayed before breeding to make sure that their is no hip dysplasia in either parents. Breeders will be more then happy to show you the OVC or OFA results. With Malamutes the dogs will also have an AMCA #  clearing the dog of a genetic defect called Chrondodysplasia or Dwarfism. These tests are done to ensure that all precaution has been taken by the Breeder, yet the outcome is not a guarantee that there will not be any genetic problems, but they are minimized by doing all that is in a breeder's power.

 There is no separate breed called a Giant Malamute. It is misleading, used as a marketing gimmick to sell puppies at inflated prices. Malamutes come in all shapes and sizes and a Giant is just a large dog that does not fit the breed standard. Many also come with larger health issues.  COLOR There is also no such thing as a rare red Malamute. Again a misleading marketing ploy. Red is a color accepted under the standard, just like an all white, a sable, a seal, a black, or blue along with the popular grey. Since we live in a grey and white world many breeders do not aim to breed color, but again all these colors are recognized in the breed standard. COATS Malamute coats also come in different length and because the long coat gene is carried by some, it does produce itself when both parents carry that gene. Long coats or Woolies are also not rare. The coat does in no way affect their quality as a canine companion, it is just a trait that is not bred for.

The reason I am writing this is because on many popular public advertisement sites, people that are just breeding or those that call themselves breeders, because they can, make claims that are not true. Since a reputable breeder spends a lot of time and money to do all they can for the future of the breed, don't expect a puppy at bargain basement prices. If it sounds too good to be true ,it is. Don't buy from a Backyard Breeder or a Pet Store, since the puppies in the store come from Puppy Mills and those from a BYB are just there to make a few extra $$$$$, that is why health clearances are never done because they cost money. The price is also inflated in Pet Stores and the health issues that arise will break your heart and empty your pocket book. Buy from a reputable breeder or if you can't wait and  find it in your heart, adopt a canine companion from your local rescue. If a rescue dog sounds appealing then go to www.malamuterescue.com The Alaskan Malamute Help League.

It is impossible for a breeder to have puppies on demand and most breeders do not breed frequently because when they do a breeding, it is because they want something out of it for themselves, it should not be  to fill a waiting list or puppy orders. Since breeders cannot have a puppy for you on the ground at the precise moment that you might want one, please do not go and rush out and make a big mistake and buy just anywhere, because this new canine companion should be viewed as NON-DISPOSABLE FOR IT'S WHOLE LIFE. All I will add is this, "All good things are worthwhile waiting for."
