Before you buy an Alaskan Malamute, there
are some important things you need to
establish about the breeder and their dog/s
to ensure the puppy you buy is purebred and
has minimal risk of developing hereditary
health disorders.
Dedicated breeders are trying to eradicate
hereditary diseases by screening their dogs before using
them for breeding, ensuring that the puppies they produce
are as healthy as possible.
Some diseases can't be tested for, so a
dedicated breeder will research the dogs in their pedigrees
to ensure they aren't effected with any serious diseases.
Some states have a
Breed Club for the Alaskan
Malamute. They
are the best place to find a reputable breeder to
purchase a puppy from. These Clubs are run by dedicated
people who have the best interests of the Alaskan
Malamute at heart and are also a great source of
information.
Each Breed Club runs various social activities and
competitions throughout the year that anyone with an
Alaskan Malamute can participate in. Such activities
include sledding, weight pull, social days, confirmation
specialty shows etc.
