ALASKAN MALAMUTES

As members of AMCUK, AMWA and ISDS and being on the AMCUK Breeders list, any breeding we do is done following the Breeders Code of Ethics.
We are friendly and willing to answer questions and help in any way with information on the breed.

Our Malamutes are excellent examples of the breed. Good temperaments, good show dogs, good workers, Hip Scored and Eye Tested. Fit and healthy, fully vaccinated, wormed and with all health checks. They have had many places at Campionship shows and Crufts qualifcations for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and are good working dogs.
Any pups we may have in the future will be born and reared in the house, fully wormed and vaccinated, socialised with other dogs and people, and will be K.C. registered including the 6 weeks free insurance.

If you would like to join the Celticwolf family and give one of our pups a ' good home ' , or you are looking for a well bred Malamute, or you would like to come and see the Malamutes, please phone or e-mail to make an appointment to come and visit.

It is worth finding out as much as possible about Alaskan Malamutes before bringing one into the family pack. If you have any questions about the Alaskan Malamute that you would like answered, feel free to contact us for any help or information.

All our Malamutes are trained to walk nicely on the lead and pull hard when in harness. They get to run around fields or along farm tracks off the lead everyday, and do some basic obedience training ( SIT - DOWN - STAND - RECALL - WALK ON LEAD etc ) and are always ready for a cuddle and love to have visitors.

We belive that although having a good pedigree full of champions, as our dogs do, it is also important to consider the merits and achievements of any dog that is bred from.

STUD.

CHIEF is an excelent example of the breed and is now availabe as a STUD DOG, for bitches that are Hip Scored & Eye Tested and endorsements are placed on pups.

Our Malamutes love to run, play and work together, either pulling a rig or in the snow with a sled.

As a working breed, Alaskan Malamutes are happy to work, as they have done for centuries

At CELTICWOLF we like to give our Malamutes the chance to do what they were born for, and we are always available for advice on training.

We like to train and work all our dogs and give them a happy healthy life. All our Alaskan Malamutes either work or Show.

We sometimes have older dogs in, that are looking for new homes. Call for details.


PLEASE NOTE

Our breeding follows the Breeders Code of Ethics, as followed by Alaskan Malamutes Clubs worldwide.

For information on how to avoid Puppy farmers, feel free to contact us or the Alaskan Mlamute Club of the UK.

You can aslo see some guidlines on ' Looking for a good breeder ' on our website.

Puppy farmers are responsible for many dogs ending up in Rescue centers. Their dogs are kept locked up and are used for constant breeding.
They crossbreed unregistered mungrels & inbreed KC registered dogs.
They always have litters available and advertise in the free adds & on Puppy farm websites.
They dont do any health checks on the pups parents, ie Hip Scores or Eye Tests, & they will not be available for help and advice after they sell a puppy.
