the Dignified Malamute . . .
The various pictures on this page are my various furry dollies!
During the ten years I've had Alaskan Malamutes, I've acquired a lot of
photographs and these are some of my favorites!
Summer 2008 Litter!
If you are interested in acquiring a baby 'furry dolly' (aka
an Alaskan Malamute puppy), then please fill out an application. No application,
no furry dolly. A litter is planned for Ms Ooky. The applications are
under the PUPPIES link.
New Titles!
Bert n' Ernie had a special outing and each earned Canine Good
Neighbour (CGNs) certificate at the end of May. The following day Ernie
and Ooky (Bert is sound-shy so he didn't get to try) were able to attempt
their Temperament Tests (TTs) certificates. Now all the furry dollies
have a title of some kind!
Early Spay and Neuter
You can find many references to juvenile spay and neuter in my
site. It is especially damaging to females to spay them too young (as
in under one or two years of age, depending on the breed)! Juvenile spay
and neuter causes widespread system damage to dogs of both sexes and there
are many hundreds of studies available to substantiate such a claim. Please
also see Tala's story. However, please also see the scientific and academic
links in this article:
Disease, aggression and health
problems from early spay and neuter.

Ooky
is my fourth Alaskan Malamute. I learned about conformation showing with
her. She has four conformation titles, several Group placements and several
legs toward various working titles and several Temperament certifications.

Yukonjak's Ernie, CGN, TT
Ernie
is a soft, gentle, quiet leader. He is the alpha and is neutered. Bert
and Ernie are inseparable. While most male Alaskan Malamutes DO NOT favor
the companionship of each another, these two are an exception. It gave
me 'furry dollies' who are way more fun than Barbie dolls!

Dirty Bert, CGN
Dirty
Bert is his AKC registered name and he is neutered, too. His breeder didn't
have a kennel name so he is only Dirty Bert. Bert flew in on a plane from
the USA. He wouldn't come out of the crate when he arrived. Although his
breeders were happy he came to me, and I happy with them, both of us,
and Baby Bertie, suffered trauma from shipping the Malamute puppy.

Yukonjak's Tala
Tala
was the first Alaskan Malamute. She died of osteosarcoma, more commonly
called bone cancer. Cancer and aggression problems in females are widely
and extensively linked to early spay and neuter. There are dozens of
completed studies, involving thousands of dogs, and multiple other species,
that directly link dramatic increases in cancer (males and females),
diseases (males and females), and aggression (females only), along with
growth and structure ailments (males and females). There are some links
to such things on Tala's page. Never, ever, ever again will I spay or
neuter a dog under one year of age!
