Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up my mom bred and raised labs. I helped with it for many years and loved it. My mom also had an Alaskan Malamute that brought me into loving the breed. I decided to get my own in 2020 with the intentions of starting a small breeding program with her. We had a litter of Malamutes in September 2023 and December 2024.
What makes your program special?
Dedication to making sure my puppies are as healthy and happy as possible for future owners. I make sure my dogs are OFA certified and genetic tested. Health is our main priority .
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and white, seal and white, gray and white, black and white, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Kartagner Syndrome (PCD), Factor VII Deficiency, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Cone Degeneration, DNA Disease Panel, Polyneuropathy (NDRG1), Alaskan Malamute Type
