I'm the breeder behind Kasaan Alaskan Malamutes located in Indianapolis, IN. Kasaan Kennels was established in 1971 with the commitment in mind to always produce and exhibit only the BEST quality dogs. We have now been breeding for over 48 years and have lived up to that commitment, having produced and owned over 200 American, Canadian, Australian, Hungarian, and European champions! We believe that health, conformation, and temperament are the key components to producing a top winning show, working, and companion dog. It is our commitment to this magnificent breed, to always hold our standards to that level.

This will be included in all the puppy packs for each individual puppy.
