** Puppies for Sale **
We have no puppies at this time [November 11, 2008], however, we hope to have 2 litters by the end of the month ... they will be available for shipping shortly after Christmas!
I hope to breed Tundra w/Baron by the end of the year. Puppies will be sable/white.
If you are interested in reserving a puppy, please e-mail us and I'll be happy to contact you upon the arrival of this Fall's litters! Notification of the arrival of litters is done in the order of "reservations" received based upon whether you want a male or female and the color of puppy you want.
PRICE
We are promoting responsible pet ownership by offering "Full" or "Limited" registration. "Full" registration will be available - at an increased sale price - to those who purchase our pups with the intent to breed and/or "show" their dog. "Limited" registration will be available - at our standard price WITH the spay/neuter "rebate" - to those who purchase our pups as pets.
Puppies w/Limited registration are Four Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($450.00) PLUS shipping (see "shipping" below). NOTE: You will ALSO receive a "rebate" of $50.00 upon proof from your veterinarian that the puppy purchased from us has been spayed/neutered.
Puppies w/Full registration are Seven Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($750.00) PLUS shipping (see "shipping" below).
With each puppy, you will receive
1) an AKC application for registration;
2) an AVID application for registration in its pet recovery system. Our puppies are microchipped at 2 weeks of age (at no extra charge). Microchips may now be registered with AVID or with AKC's pet recovery system. AVID provides a blue plastic tag to affix to your puppy's collar and now provides a key tag to affix to your key chain with your puppy's microchip number thereon and a toll-free number in the event your puppy is lost or stolen. If you choose to register your puppy with AKC's PetTrac system, AKC provides a black metal tag to affix to your puppy's collar.
3) a worming/shot record reflecting dates the puppy received its worming and shots during the first 8 weeks (we worm puppies at 2, 4 and 6 weeks of age; administer initial puppy shots at 6 weeks of age, and administer first booster at 8 weeks of age - provided the puppy is not scheduled to be shipped within 48 hours of receiving booster shot);
4) a Contract for Sale of Puppy Click here to view Contract;
5) a copy of the dam's and sire's 3-generation pedigree;
6) a collar w/attached AVID blue ID-tag;
7) a "Puppy Pak" compliments of AKC (containing valuable information regarding the benefits of AKC registration, information regarding responsible ownership, etc.), and
8) a plastic bag containing 1 day's worth of Iams Smart Puppy (Iams no longer offers the "puppy packs" for breeders to deliver with new puppies ... rather, Eukanuba now offers the "puppy packs". Although Eukanuba is of higher quality, it is not available except through veterinarians or major pet stores and, thus, much more costly than Iams, which is now available at WalMart and other public venues).
DEPOSIT
We require the payment of a non-refundable deposit of Two Hundred and 00/100 Dollars - $200.00) at the time you select your puppy. We do not accept deposits prior to the selection of your puppy. If you will be picking up your puppy, the balance of the purchase price is due at the time of pick up.
However, if it will be necessary that your puppy be shipped, the balance of the purchase price PLUS all shipping costs must be paid two (2) weeks prior to shipment.
SHIPPING/DELIVERY
Needless to say - with the increased fuel costs - shipping costs have risen! Shipping costs of puppies (8 - 10 weeks of age) are APPROXIMATELY Three Hundred Twenty-five and 00/100 Dollars ($325.00) comprised of:
$225 ... INCLUDES tax and "fuel surcharge" of .37/lb (as of June 12, 2008) ... (airfare - UP TO 50 lbs, including kennel - w/major airline within the continental United States ... we do not charge mileage for delivery to the airport);
$73 ... a kennel (generally, pups are shipped in an "intermediate-sized" kennel, however, pups weighing in excess of 25 lbs at time of shipment require a larger kennel), and
$24 ... veterinarian's health certificate (required for travel).
We will consider delivering pups within a 100-mile radius for a fee of .48/mile roundtrip.
PAYMENT
Payment may be made by Money Order payable to Marva Ruhmann, or, for your convenience, we accept payment via PayPal.

ADULT MALS AVAILABLE
As a courtesy to fellow breeders/owners of Alaskan Malamutes, I post photos of adult Alaskan Malamutes that are available for adoption to good homes (some for a small fee). Some of these Mals have been retired from breeding programs. Some are simply in need of replacement homes because their original "parents" can no longer keep them for one reason or another). See photographs on the page entitled "Adult Malamutes Available for Adoption".
UPCOMING LITTERS!
The dams/sires pictured below are this month's "expectant parents"! For additional information and/or pictures, please refer to each dam's/sire's individual page!
