We have Puppies!! Six girls and two boys, born on April 6!

At Arctic Hope, we strive to produce sound, healthy, standard-sized malamutes with good work ethic and wonderful temperaments.

We test our dogs' work ethic by earning backpacking, sledding and weight pulling titles through the Alaskan Malamute Club of America (AMCA).

We test their soundness (type, structure and movement) by showing our dogs to their conformation championships through the American Kennel Club (AKC).

We test their temperaments by earning Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification through the AKC, Temperament Test (TT) certification through the American Temperament Test Society, and Therapy Dog (ThD) certification through Therapy Dogs, Inc and Therapy Dogs International. And now we're branching out into competition obedience, rally obedience, and eventually into agility.

Finally, we test health by obtaining ChD (chondrodysplasia or "dwarfism"), OFA (hip and elbow dysplasia) and CERF (cataracts) certification.

Whether you're looking for a performance dog, a show dog, or a beloved family pet, check us out!
