I'm Sue F., the breeder behind Mountain Home Alaskan Malamutes located in Okanogan County, WA. I'm a passionate, ethical breeder that focuses on preserving, protecting, and maintaining the standards of this magnificent breed. The health and quality of my puppies are very important to me, and I make all of my breeding decisions accordingly.

It is always my goal to produce show-quality dogs, and all of my puppies make wonderful companions.
Q. & A. with Sue
Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the Alaskan Malamute and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual attention that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
