Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?
In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.
Is my listing already here?
We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.
Buying an Alaskan Malamute puppy
Alaskan Malamute puppies for sale
These listings are Alaskan Malamute litters advertised by UK breeders. The breed standard's desirable adult weights are 34 kg for bitches and 39 kg for dogs, and the RKC recommends more than two hours of exercise and daily grooming, so make sure the breed fits your home before you enquire. When you read a listing, look for the parents' AMPN DNA status, hip and elbow results and a recent eye test, and check registered dogs on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Ask whether the puppies will be RKC registered and what endorsements apply.
Licensed breeders in England must show puppies with their mother and cannot sell them under eight weeks, and every puppy must be microchipped by eight weeks old. Read our buyer safety guide and browse Alaskan Malamute breeders near you.
Health tests to ask about
Alaskan Malamute health and testing
The RKC's breed page lists two good practice steps before breeding a Malamute: a DNA test for Alaskan Malamute polyneuropathy (AMPN) and attention to genetic diversity. AMPN is an inherited nerve disease that leads to gradual muscle deterioration; signs usually appear in the first two years and include exercise intolerance and an abnormal gait. It is autosomal recessive, so an affected puppy has inherited the faulty gene from both parents.
Best practice adds a DNA test for cone degeneration, which causes day blindness, and the BVA/KC hip, elbow and eye schemes. Hips are scored from X-rays taken at one year or older (0 to 106, lower is better). Elbows are graded 0 to 3: the RKC says grade 0 dogs can be bred from, grade 1 dogs only after careful thought, and grades 2 and 3 should not be. The Alaskan Malamute Club of the UK's code of ethics asks members to hip score, eye test for hereditary cataract and DNA test for AMPN and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) before breeding, and highly recommends the cone degeneration test.
The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges; that is not a statement that the breed is free of health problems.
