Are You Ready?
Are you ready to ......
· Take full responsibility for the dog and all its needs for the next 10-14 years? This includes inevitable life changes such as new babies, divorce, relocation, or returning to work?
Are you ready to ......
· Invest the considerable time, money and patience it takes to train the dog to be a good companion?
Are you ready to ......
· Always keep the dog safe: no running loose, riding in the back of an open ute or station wagon, or being left on it’s own all the time outside?
Are you ready to ......
· Make sure the dog gets enough attention and exercise? Remember, this is a WORKING dog and must have something to occupy it’s mind.
Are you ready to ......
· Live with shedding and howling? Malamutes shed generously twice a year and require weekly grooming at other times to manage their thick double coats. Howling is a wonderful sound, if you love wolves, but can drive you, and your neighbours, crazy if you're not used to it.
Are you ready to ......
· Spend the money it takes to provide proper veterinary care?
Are you ready to ......
· Find out about the proper care of the breed, correct training methods and how to groom the dog before you purchase one?
Are you ready to ......
· Resist impulse buying, and instead have the patience to make a responsible choice?
Yes? Then keep in mind that most responsible breeders have a waiting list ranging from a few months to a couple of years and the right puppy IS worth waiting for!
