Alaskan Malamute puppies for sale here, are seldom - but I do have a CKC registered Alaskan Malamute kennel (Slushpuppy). My own 'pet' purebred, registered Alaskan Malamutes are CKC (or AKC in Bert's case) and are between ten and three years of age. They have around 15 titles or certificates, that include conformation titles, temperament tests, and more than 50 working wins in weight pull and dryland events. This Web is some of the story of their lives - Ernie, his niece Ooky, her baby Tinker (and the memories of Tala and Bert) - their activities achievements, health certifications (mostly OFA and OVC) including: hips, elbows, eyes, patella, dentition, cardiac, degenerative myelopathy, thyroid, and have their DNA stored for future tests. All have AMCA chondrodysplasia (CHD) certification. My main interests are in 'working' the dogs (for fun), pet life, canine nutrition and disease. I have several canine and animal nutrition certifications (all taught by DVMs or board-certified Veterinarian animal nutritionists) along with Animal First Aid Certification and have attended courses, seminars about nutrition, health, diseases, behaviour - for general interest - but work as a professor in 'computer' subjects.

I've raised each Alaskan Malamute puppy with mainly the help of Ernie :) My 'Working Alaskan Malamutes' - have many wins in working competitions like weight pull and scootering - though they are only fun activities for us. We also sled, scooter and camp on some pack excursions, for fun, mostly. Ernie went to his first CKC championship show (a month after earning a gold medal in a weight pull, 2011 and at 9+) in the newly-created CKC altered class - and came home with two Group Firsts! I would expect the same care and lifestyle for any registered Alaskan Malamute puppies I produce; quality Alaskan Malamute pets, going to quality pet homes. If you aren't going to do activities with your Mal, then you probably should consider another dog breed. I have many Alaskan Malamute pictures on this Web site, too. Finally, this link about good, ethical, breeders of dogs, and is the best definition I've ever seen, all in one organized chart. It's a good place to begin, in your search for a puppy, regardless of breed of dog. Ethical Alaskan Malamute breeders - or any other breed - do not allow cost to figure into a quality puppy; true quality puppies are priceless, as they have received the best of everything the breeder could give for the betterment of the puppy and the breed.

I am a member, in good standing, of several Alaskan Malamute clubs or organizations; the Alaskan Malamute Club of Canada, (AMCC); the Alaskan Malamutes Club of America, (AMCA) - which are 'breed enthusiast' clubs - and TIKO, Mush Larose Working Club, Alaskan Malamute Rescue (AMAL) (US) and the Alaskan Malamute HELP League in Canada. I also belong to the American Academy of Veterinary  Nutrition for the benefit of my dogs diets. And, of course, I'm a member in good standing in the Canadian Kennel Club. If you are interested in acquiring an education into 'dog nutrition' - and quite a few other topics - I have taken several courses from E-Training for Dogs, including ones from their Fitness and Nutrition Diploma - a well-organized institute with courses relative to canines (and some equine) subjects. Dr Ava Frick, DVM teaches the canine nutritional courses her links are holistic veterinarian rehabilitation practice and animal nutrition and physical services.

My first registered Alaskan Malamute puppy, Yukonjak's Tala, arrived in 1999 from breeder Yukonjak Alaskan Malamutes in Ontario, Canada. Tala was huge - 140 pounds and 31" - but I never use the term 'giant Alaskan Malamute' - and she required extensive training. Unfortunately, Tala died of bone cancer. Bert was usually 135 pounds when he was well, but he did go to 148 when he became ill with thyroid disease. My next registered Alaskan Malamute puppies were Ernie, Bert, Ooky and Tinker. Ernie and Ooky are also from the Yukonjak. Ooky's sire is registered from Snowlion Alaskan Malamutes - an AKC breeder in the United States. Bert is not related to any of my dogs, as he is AKC registered and entirely Wakon Alaskan Malamutes. He lost his many health battles March 2012. There does not exist a 'giant Alaskan Malamute breed'. There exists one breed with dogs ranging in size from about 55 to 150 pounds (which is pretty extreme). A FEW occur at these extremes and most are between 65 - 100 pounds. Although I've owned a few very large Malamutes, I have also seen a few very small ones, with the smallest pedigreed female Mal I've ever seen weighing in at 47 pounds. I have also helped foster various Alaskan Malamutes as rescue dogs, for the Alaskan Malamute Help League, too. I've traveled to many events with the dogs - in 2011 my dogs were in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Quebec - and  all over Ontario! Ooky has been to Manitoba, while I've been to BC, Alberta a few times!

_I  have a giant Alaskan Malamute picture collection, too, thousands of images I've shot, (not all online). If you are looking for registered Alaskan Malamute puppies, then think carefully before buying - many are given up, re-homed, put to death - or lack care - due to owner neglect and ignorance. There are dozens of registered Alaskan Malamute puppies for sale, dozens of purebred (and mutt) breeders or kennels of registered dogs - and few homes. If you are comparing the Alaskan Malamute vs Siberian Husky, they are similar, but both are difficult to own, each like to escape, eat foreign objects, challenge their owners, etc. While a Siberian Husky might be considered easier than a purebred Malamutes, by no means are they an easy breed. Every once in a while we find someone breeding the two breeds together - and that makes the resulting puppy a 'mutt' or mixed breed. In Canada, you should receive CKC papers with your purebred dog and NEVER AKC papers, unless you purchased the puppy from the USA. It is illegal to sell 'purebred with no papers' in Canada. Do you really want the dog you paid $500 - $1500 for, to be considered 'illegal' and a mutt by everyone else? In Canada, the dog should come CKC registered (Canadian Kennel Club - NOT Continental Kennel Club). The only reasons to breed in Canada, and sell via AKC registration, is an effort circumvent the Canadian laws, CKC tracking (for large numbers of dogs being produced) and / or dodging taxes. Alaskan Malamutes as pets, can be an incredible joy. They love to travel! Unfortunately, Mals and cats, birds or other animals may not work too well, but if you acquire the dog as a puppy, you will have a better chance. Alaskan Malamute behavior has been bred over thousands of years - survival, and catching and eating animals - is a normal part of the breed. The Alaskan Malamutes personality is about as close as you will find to 'wolf' - but for 'Alaskan Malamute vs wolf' there is still no real comparison; Mals are a pure breed of dog, and not a wild animal. Diligent ownership is what ensures they don't have unattended access to stray 'meals'. While the cost of an Alaskin Malamute puppy varies, ultimately a lot of breeders just use a number the market will pay. Please remember cost does not dictate quality. And the life expectancy of Alaskan Malamutes (a healthy one) is 12 - 14 years. At the end of my Web site, are links providing more Alaskan Malamute information. In consideration of how many breeders Web sites, repeat the Alaskan Malamute breed standard, articles, and other copied information, I won't - but you can find links to them. Almost all of my Web site is custom material, since I wrote it or shot the pictures (or had someone shoot me in the pictures if I am in them). For general Alaskan Malamute info Wikipedia does a good job providing basic information - and don't forget about Appearance, Temperament, Health, History and Training. Both the CKC Alaskan Malamute Standard and AKC Alaskan Malamute Standard - and AMCA has an Alaskan Malamutes Illustrated Standard available for sale.

NEW: I also carry a full range of freeze dry (and some dehydrated) foods for humans from Shelf Reliance - http://campingmealscanada.weebly.com/ - if you are interested. Very affordable and factory-shipped to anywhere in Canada! I will be carrying products that include dozens of vegetables, fruits, meats and other items that will be shipped to the consumer from the factory. Obviously, all  my camping, excursions, RV-ing with the dogs is what started this :) Eating pre-packed commercial meals is neither healthy, nor economical. This product is both nutritious and cost-saving! You can make your own sauces if you want them, eat them from the can, or cook or rehydrate them with water. They range in prices from a few dollars to $20 to $30 per 40 - 60 serving tin. They have a very long shelf life (even when opened, as is the case with most freeze-dried food) and primary uses would be:

• Everyday home use with meats, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and grains (including full meals to snacks)
• Emergency, Short and Long term kits (for cars, boats, power outages, camping, hunting, cottaging)
• Bulk food storage systems for large scale use, with entire shelving systems
