Meet the breeder

I'm Andrea S., the breeder behind Powerpaw Alaskan Malamutes located in Hastings, MI. We have 30 years of experience and focus on health, temperament and breeding to the AKC standard. The majority of puppies go to companion homes so socialize and breed for good citizen puppies. We are heavily involved in rescue, participate in shows, dog sports and are members of AMCA and AMAL.

Q. & A. with Andrea

  • What makes your program special?

    As I have been actively involved in rescue for as long as I have had malamutes, I have first hand knowledge of the challenges that many dogs can present when dogs are not purposely bred for health and temperament.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include gray and white, black and white, and agouti and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    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.

    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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, 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).

    Excellent experience. Andrea had a goody bag full of the immediate essentials. Our pup is well adapted already. I would totally recommend her for anyone who is seriously committed to the breed.
