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.
Below
are some links to sites that will give you some in
depth information on the Alaskan Malamute in general
as well as more details on health problems that can
