Puppies are always adorable and capture the essence of the
Malamute. They are inquisitive, rambunctious, noisy,
demanding, and destructive. We all loves babies and puppies
but one must do plenty of research and find the breed best
suited for your lifestyle.
The
American Kennel Club web site has a detailed
description of the various breeds and also links to the
national breed clubs. You can locate a breeder near you to
ask questions about the breed. The more research you do
about the breed that interests you the better the chances
you and your puppy will grow old together and have a good
relationship. If you enjoy hiking activities and spend a
lot of time in the outdoors you should consider the sporting
or working dogs.
Just
remember all breeds have their genetic issues. Never look at
a litter of puppies and take one home. Always think about
it first and plan ahead to have the yard and house puppy
proofed prior to choosing your puppy. Get you puppy to the
local veterinary and have the puppy micro chipped so if he
or she gets lost you have a form of permanent
identification.
If you
decide that an Alaskan Malamute is the one for you please
ask for genetic screening. Without this basic information
you are purchasing a puppy from a breeder who does not value
the BASIC genetic screening tools available.
You also need to read the contract carefully and make sure
that the breeder will take the dog back if you cannot keep
it for any reason regardless of age.
The
basis genetic screening includes:
We occasionally have puppies but emphasize temperament,
structure, and soundness through genetic screening. Our
dogs are our companions who live with us and are expected to
interact in the community as good citizens. |
