We would like to thank you
for your interest in our kennel. We hope to be able to make you enjoy,
would it be only for a moment, our passion, which became our way of life
and this, since the beginning of the years 1990.
The orientation of our kennel
is mainly focussed on the sledding side. We deeply believe that the
Malamute is, before all, a working dog that really fulfils itself in the
conditions it was built for. We like to study our dogs during some sledding
excursions of a few days or a longer expedition in an isolated area, all
in a full autonomy.
There are a lot of important
qualities that a dog have to possess to perform well in his work, but
the main qualities that we are looking for are these: good front and
rear; good length of legs all in having a proportioned structure to
avoid the pacers; good length of back; good front and rear angulation; good pads; excellent
temperament and attitude; excellent eater and drinker and possessing a
very good intelligence. Naturally we know that the perfect dog will
never exist…
Of course, we always do the
health certifications on our breeding stock for hips/elbows at the OFA
and at the CERF for the eyes. In addition, we do the DNA test
for the long coat gene on our dogs.
For the people that are
looking for a Malamute, an advice we could give yourself is that it is
very important to check that the sire and the dam of your future puppy
have at least the health certifications at the OFA and at the CERF. Also, always
ask to see these certifications. That does not assure you of a perfect
dog but the most important is to have a healthy dog. By experience, if a
breeder tells you that it does not need to do these certifications
because it has no health problem in his line, or if it says that several
certifications were done in the past but that none of the parents are
certified, seriously think about looking for another breeder!!! A
breeder that has ethics and who likes his breed will certify its
breeding stocks.
For us, the temperament is
also a very important thing. All our dogs have an exceptional
temperament, with people or with other dogs of the same sex or not. You
will be able to see several pictures in our photo album section and even
some short videos of all our dogs playing together.
The Malamute is an active dog
who needs a minimum of physical activity every day; this is the reason
why we are extremely selective when we choose the future families for
our puppies. We select people that like to be outdoor and who do a lot
of physical activities. The people that want a companion to play ball at
home with the children and to listen at television with them do not
correspond to the needs of our dogs, which need a lot more. Naturally,
the Malamute is a very versatile dog and maybe very happy as a pet with
active people who practice a lot of outdoor activities. Several of
our clients do sledding, kicksled, skijoring, agility, obedience, back packing and also
canicross
with their Malamute.
Our first goal is that our
dogs be happy in their new family, the people who are interested in our
dogs always have to answer many questions and correspond to the need of
our dogs. We always have to approve the futures owners of our dogs
before all. To do so, with each request of information about our puppies,
please tell us about you, your family, your work, your installations,
your activities. Then we will be able to talk longer.
We hope that you will have a
good time on our website in our dog's company. Good visit!!
Nathalie & Pierre
