Kalamals
Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Kalamals located in Virginia. Bringing a dog into your home is a lifelong commitment to its well-being. At Kalamals, it is not about mass-producing puppies or finishing the largest number of champions. It is about breeding healthy, quality representatives of the breed and placing them in loving permanent homes.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
Love for Alaskan Malamutes started when we bought our first in 1989. We enjoyed her so much we soon found ourselves with four more malamute pets through rescue. We were a rescue foster home for Alaskan Malamutes for 8 years fostering, training, and rehoming over 30 mals in the '90s. By 1998 we purchased our first "show" Alaskan Malamute. By 2020 we have finished 32 owners handled champions.What makes your program special?
We are always looking to improve our line, I believe that a breeder should focus first on the health, structure, and temperament of a dog and for this reason, only dogs that are physically healthy with OFA certified hips and eyes and mentally sound will be bred at KalaMals. Sire and Dams are normally an AKC Champions. We take pride in each and every litter we produce.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Kalamals reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Alaskan Malamutes.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
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 Certification (CAER, 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.
Polyneuropathy (NDRG1), Alaskan Malamute Type
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
