Artie is very sweet and smart. As with all of the pups in his litter he is very gentle. He has a plush coat. He has the furry ears of his mother and colorations of his father. He is treat driven and easy to work with. Artie is a purebred Alaskan Malamute and his litter is AKC registered. He is around 90 pounds currently. He was recently fixed and is fully up to date on his shots. We would prefer to meet prospective buyers in person. If that's not possible we would want to video conference to make sure its a great fit between puppy and owner. Alaskan Malamutes need a fenced yard as well as the opportunity to take walks. We can deliver within 3 hours of Gaithersburg Maryland and we also have family in Massachusetts and can deliver anywhere in that area with a little notice.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Alaskan Malamute Puppies
Are Alaskan Malamutes a good breed to own?
As a friendly and affectionate breed, Alaskan Malamutes’ hearts are bigger than their bite. They make great playmates, especially if it involves digging or tug of war. Malamutes are known for being curious, chatty companions, so get ready for a strenuous workout and an engaging dialogue. Full-grown, they typically weigh 75-85 pounds and stand 23-25 inches tall.
Are Alaskan Malamutes safe around children?
Alaskan Malamutes are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Alaskan Malamutes usually get along well with kids, especially if the children are older. This breed doesn’t make good watchdogs since they’re so friendly and affectionate, but they seek out companionship and love bonding with their closest people friends. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
What's the best way to exercise a Alaskan Malamute?
Aside from their favorite human, exercise is a Malamute’s best friend. They need at least an hour of hard exercise each day to avoid getting bored and into trouble. Malamutes love running, roaming around, and pulling (especially sleighs and wagons), but walking them on a leash can be challenging because of their size. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
Do Alaskan Malamutes shed a lot?
Malamutes have a double coat of thick, coarse hair on the outside and greasy, dense hair underneath. They’re usually pure white or a mix of white and grey, black, red, or sable. Malamutes grow their coat in winter and shed frequently, especially when the weather warms up in spring. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
What kind of home is best for a Alaskan Malamute?
Alaskan Malamutes are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Malamutes don’t mind being outdoors, as long as they get enough human attention. So big yards and tall, deep fences are a must. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
