Hudson's Malamutes - Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you have a code of ethics? What are they?
Yes, I follow a code of ethics, as you can see below:
- I maintain good sanitation and health care for my dogs not only for the sake of my dogs, but also to set a good example for prospective new owners.
- I offer offer assistance to the new owner with respect to the care and feeding of his or her dog, pointing out the need for selecting a veterinarian immediately for routine health care, and stressing the needed immunizations as well as yearly booster shots
- I impress upon the new owner the importance of being a good "dog neighbor". Every Malamute becomes the "real representative of the breed" if involved in one misdeed
- I am not involved in the sale of dog(s) through pet shops or any other type of wholesale outlets, including but not limited to mail order houses, dog agents, or federally licensed dog dealers in the U.S. or any foreign country, or act as finder for agent/broker, or sell to institutions involved in research.
- I am not involved in the sale of any dog(s) to any individual or outlet whose main reason for purchase is for resale.
- I do not sell any dog or bitch (of any age) without furnishing proper transfer papers, unless at the time of sale both parties sign a written agreement of sale in which a stipulation is made concerning when said papers will be furnished.
- As recommended by the AKC (American Kennel Club) and the AMCA (Alaskan Malamute Club of America) I adhere to the following:
"It is recommended that any puppy sold with the designation pet/companion be sold on a spay/neuter contract with the Limited Registration now supplied by AKC. It is recommended that adults sold as companions be sold on a spay-neuter contract. The breeder may retain the registration papers until proof of sterilization."
- I am not involved in the breeding or selling of wolf-hybrid dogs, and shall not knowingly sell a Malamute or provide stud service to any person known to breed wolf-hybrids.
- I do not offer for use at stud or use as stud any dog who has not been certified clear of hip dysplasia by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, a qualified veterinarian, or a certified radiologist without a written stud contract stating that the stud has not been certified as indicated above.
- I do not sell any puppy whose sire and dam have not been certified clear of hip dysplasia by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, a qualified veterinarian, or a certified radiologist unless there is a written contract of sale for said puppy which has been signed by both buyer and seller and which sets forth the sire and/or dam have not been certified as being clear of hip dysplasia as provided above.
- As recommended by the AKC (American Kennel Club) and the AMCA (Alaskan Malamute Club of America) I adhere to the following:
"Breeders should accept responsibility for those animals that are the result of their breedings, abandoned or found in shelters."
- I do not breed my female Malamutes until they are between the age of 18 months and 2 years old
- I do not breed my female Malamutes after they have a litter for ~ year, giving them time to recoup from the previous litter.
- My advertising is factual
