Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Strong Water Malamutes located in Longview, TX. Strong Water Malamutes is a family-based hobby enjoyed by son Alex (Age 14) my husband and my self. All of our dogs are family. The breeding, training, and showing of our dogs is very much a family activity. Our dogs live in our home with us. You will find our dogs in our beds, on our couches, or running in the backyard when not in a show ring. It is my intent as a breeder and owner of these wonderful animals to; work with, love, exhibit, enjoy, and produce beautiful, sound -tempered, healthy, and "correct" Alaskan Malamutes which remain true to the AKC Breed Standard. I strive to produce examples that are sound of mind and body, who are capable of the original work, therapy, breed education, competition, and companionship! Each of our dogs is an ambassador of the breed where ever it travels and we take that responsibility very seriously. Malamutes have a high pray drive, if you have cats, another small dog, or small animals in the home this is not the dog for you. They are a working dog they require room to run and play. Malamutes are same sex aggressive to other dogs. This means if you have a male lab, a male malamute is not an option for you. However a female malamute may make a great buddy to you and your lab. In the interest of our dogs the following are REQUIREMENTS for consideration of us placing one of them with you: 1) We will not place a puppy with someone living in an apartment or condo. No exceptions. 2) You must have a well fenced in yard. We will require pictures and possibly do a home visit to verify this.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Puppies are raised in our homes and handled daily. I have a 13 year old son and my home becomes the coolest house in the neighborhood when we have babies. There is no shortage of kiddos to love puppies where we live. The puppies are also provided multiple toys and surfaces to stimulate brain and muscle development. I utilize the following enrichment methods: "No" Biting or Chewing, Human Interactions , Name recognition , Puppy Culture , Puppy Manners, Litter Box Trained, Noise desensitization, Table Trained, surface and tactile stimulation, neural stimulation, We litter train our puppies by 4 weeks which makes crate training very easy., Early socialization, grooming , Car Training , and Puppy Temperament Evalulation.

Puppy health practices

All of the dogs we use in our breeding program have been OFA health tested for hips, elbows, eyes, hearts, and polyneuropathy prior to breeding in order to produce the healthiest puppies possible. Parents of course are vaccinated and wormed prior to breeding. Once our puppies arrive we have a worming schedule of every two weeks. Puppies receive their first vaccination at 8 weeks old. We do not believe in vaccines prior to this age due to antibodies received from mothers milk that make the vaccines unusable before this age. No puppies may leave us until after 8 weeks of age. All puppies are microchipped before leaving and that microchip is registered to us and the new owners.

Extras

We send our puppies home with AKC Registration, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, Puppy Collar, Puppy Leash, Puppy Starter Kit, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Vaccinations, and Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents.
