We firmly believe in learning about your chosen breed before going on to breed litters yourself. There are far too many breeders that are planning litters before they have the knowledge and experience to help and guide new owners. We have noticed an increase in people planning litters before they have even brought up dogs of each sex to adulthood, these are the breeders that are compounding the lack of knowledge in these magnificent, but sometimes difficult breeds. Having owned Malamutes since 2001 and Greenlands since 2003 and although we are always learning, we feel we have enough understanding of these breeds to help new owners to overcome any difficulties. We are very privileged to be able to count experienced, knowledgeable, stalwarts with 20 years+ in these breeds as amongst our close friends, who continue to guide us. We bred our first Malamute litter in 2007, our second in 2009 and our third in 2011. We bred our first Greenland Dog litter in 2010. We are listed on the AMCUK & GDCGB breeders list and are KC assured breeders.
We only breed when we want another dog for ourselves and would only breed one or two litters in a year. As members of both the Alaskan Malamute Club of the United Kingdom & the Greenland Dog Club of Great Britain we strictly adhere to the breeding code of ethics laid down by each club. We feel very strongly about these issues and would advise puppy purchasers to steer well clear of breeders that do not fulfill these criteria. Our dogs are hip scored and eye tested in accordance with the requirements of the respective breed clubs. Our malamutes are also certified for Chd, by either the AMCA or the AMCV.
Our aims as breeders is to improve the dogs with each decision that we make, ensuring that we are breeding to the relevant breed standards and only breeding from sound dogs. That means sound in health, conformation and temperament. When people look at our dogs they should be confident that they could do the job that they were bred for.
We require all potential puppy purchasers to complete our puppy form. You will then be invited to visit us at our home to meet our dogs. If you and we are both happy then you will be accepted onto our waiting list.
We care very much where our puppies are placed and so all potential owners will be vigorously vetted. We want lifetime homes for our puppies and in turn we will provide you with lifetime back up, we will always take back one of our puppies throughout it’s entire lifetime should circumstances change. We hope that you can understand our strictness, all of our puppies form part of our extended family.
All puppies will be sold with a contract, detailing the endorsements placed on the registration document which will include “Progeny not eligible for registration” and “Not eligible for issue of export pedigree” amongst other conditions. We have had our contracts checked by the KC for correct wording and all of the three contracts that we use; show/breeding, show only and pet/neuter have been approved.
Our puppies leave us at 10/11 weeks old fully inoculated, this will enable you to continue the socialisation that we would have started without interruption, microchipped, fully wormed, with an information & diet sheet, with biscuit & meat food bags, with a 5 generation pedigree, with their KC registration papers, with their inoculation card and with copies of parents health certificates.
Puppies sold as pets will be required to be neutered by 1 1/2 years of age, a veterinary certificate to show this will enable you to request our contribution towards this cost. On no account will the “Progeny not eligible for registration” endorsement be lifted on pet dogs regardless of ANY circumstances.
Show prospect puppies are just that, we do not guarantee that such puppies will be world beaters, however we would never encourage any of our puppies to be shown that do not meet the standard as we would not want to taint our reputation with sub standard dogs in the show ring. We will never compromise and breed dogs just to win in the show ring, we have higher standards than that and will never follow a current fashion. The breed standard is our only guide.
We do not home to pure show kennels, all Sledog puppies will be homed where they have a "job" to do, be it agility, working, obedience or just hauling around the yard. We do not sell Malamute breeding stock to people we do not know well.

Keiko is a perfect combination with Sofi, both of these dogs have exceptional temperaments, used to working with other dogs and both love people. We wanted a medium sized dog to pair with Sofi, who is a girl of good substance. Keiko has excellent body proportions, good coat, very nice side gait and a very typical head. Both have good shoulders, correct necks and strong pasterns and hocks. Sofi has a very good coat and excellent rear angulation. |
