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.
Each state
in Australia has it's own controlling body, which is
affiliated with
The Australian National
Kennel Council
These Canine Councils govern the purebred dog fancy in
each state and have a code of ethics that each member
must abide by. This is also where all genuine purebred
dogs are registered and from where their Pedigree papers
are issued.
To read the code of ethics adhered to by registered
breeders or to find out if a particular breeder is
actually registered, contact your state's Control
