Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

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.

Using an Alaskan Malamute stud dog

Alaskan Malamute stud dogs

Choosing a Malamute stud starts with his health results. Look up his registered name on the RKC Health Test Results Finder for his hip score, elbow grade, eye certificate and his AMPN and cone degeneration DNA status. Both conditions are autosomal recessive, so knowing the stud's and the bitch's results lets you avoid a pairing that could produce affected puppies. Ask about primary ciliary dyskinesia too, which the breed club's code of ethics requires members to test for.

Run the pairing through the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator and aim for a litter at or below the breed average. Meet the dog if you can to judge his temperament, confirm he is RKC registered, and agree the fee, any repeat-mating terms and other conditions in a written stud agreement. For more contacts see our Alaskan Malamute breeder directory.

Health tests for an Alaskan Malamute stud

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.

  • DNA test for Alaskan Malamute polyneuropathy (AMPN) (RKC good practice)
  • Prioritising genetic diversity (RKC good practice)
  • DNA test for cone degeneration (CD) (RKC best practice)
  • Hip testing using the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC best practice)
  • Elbow testing using the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme (RKC best practice)
  • Eye testing using the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC best practice)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
