I believe strongly that ALL animals need training not just Alaskan Malamutes, and all animals deserve attention, especially from their breeder. I found that personally, I can care properly for two Alaskan Malamute litters at a time. My standards of care and attention are so high; I recognize that intentionally planning a Malamutes whelping beyond this amount will forcibly sacrifice the quality of dog I prefer to represent. I prefer to focus beyond the Alaskan Malamute puppies that are produced every year, and to continue to provide attention, love and training to the older Alaskan Malamute dogs that I have embraced within Candy Rock Kennels.
