Go to CURRENT  or UPCOMING LITTERS Go to online PUPPY INQUIRY QUESTIONNAIRE We breed individuals who have attained either showing or working titles, ideally both. Our foremost objective is to produce exceptional malamutes who exhibit correct breed type, temperaments, genetic health and who are structurally sound. We hope that Spiritrun Malamutes will be good ambassadors for the breed, become cherished members of their families, spirited workers and live long, healthy lives. Alaskan malamutes, like all other breeds, have their share of certain hereditary disorders for which responsible breeders should be screening for in their breeding stock. The Alaskan malamutes used in our breeding program are certified clear of inherited eye diseases by a board certified veterinary opthalmologist (CERF), hip dysplasia (OFA/PennHip), thyroid disease (OFA) and have CHD numbers (AMCA). Spiritrun puppies are born and raised in our home and are the top priority in our lives while they are with us. Early socialization in the beginning weeks of their lives is critical, so we ensure that each puppy receives ample opportunities for socialization in a variety of settings while in our care. Spiritrun puppies are released to their new homes no earlier than 8 weeks of age which also ensures they have received optimal rearing by their dam. Before they leave for their new homes, puppies are examined by a licensed veterinarian, eyes have been examined by a registered veterinary opthalmologist, they have been de-wormed, vaccinated with their first set of vaccinations and microchipped as a form of permanent I.D. Each new owner will receive a Puppy Portfolio containing the following: a health record, a vaccination record, feeding recommendations and schedule, care and management guidelines, general information, a copy of all contracts and guarantees, pictures of the sire, dam and litter, temporary Pet Plan Insurance coverage (Canadian buyers only) and a copy of the puppy’s pedigree. If the purchaser resides in the United States, an AKC Foreign Dog Registration Application form will be provided or can be downloaded from the American Kennel Club . All pet/companion puppies (not for show or breeding purposes) are registered on a Non-Breeding Agreement with the Canadian Kennel Club . CKC Registration papers are provided to the new owner as soon as they become available to us and no longer than 6 months from the time of purchase. Our contracts require that female pet/companion puppies be spayed or neutered. We must do our part to stop the unecessary breedings which contribute to the onslaught of dogs that end up in shelters and breed rescue. Our puppies/dogs are fully guaranteed and if, for any reason, you have to relinguish ownership of your dog, we will take him or her back. We are available at any time, throughout your malamute's life, to answer any questions and to assist you in anyway. We always want to hear how things are going. At Spiritrun, we breed with the intent to keep something for ourselves, because the quality and integrity of our breeding program depends on it. We are always evaluating the puppies, from birth, based on their emerging personalities and their conformational make-up. We offically evaluate the puppies between 7 and 9 weeks of age and we bring in the non-subjective view of other breeders to assist us. Show quality puppies are chosen first, and pet puppies are placed on the basis of suitability for their new home and their new life. We base our pet placement decisions on suitability of temperament first, all other considerations come after. For more information, such as puppy price or contract details, contact us .
