The Sire: Ch Snowlion Alone to Everest  Tyson is a striking boy out of Grand Champion Am/Cn Ch Snowlion Solo Ascent "Jake" and Snowlion Journey North. He finished his AKC championship in record time with prestigious wins at back-to-back Alaskan Malamute specialty shows. Then he went on to win Best of Breed and a Group 3 tough competition over the #1 ranked Malamute in the country. This was a special honor for us since his qualities were recognized by a long-time Malamute breeder judge who praised his correct breed type and movement. Tyson is health-tested: prelim OFA good, eyes, PN, PCD, DM, Embark DNA clear. Tyson was born from a frozen breeding as his sire Jake was competing in Asia after finishing his Grand Championship in the U.S. Like many singleton pups, Tyson was a precocious pup demonstrating superior intelligence early on. He completed two obedience classes including intermediate training by the time he was 5 months old. Pedigree | More Photos

Raising Snowlion Alaskan Malamute Puppies

Prior to leaving at 8 weeks, our puppies are examined by our veterinarian and receive their first vaccinations. New owners receive guidelines for feeding, grooming & training their Malamute pups along with a health record, vaccination schedule and parents' health clearances. We are here to offer advice, so don’t hesitate to contact us.

Snowlion Alaskan Malamutes are the product of our outdoor lifestyle which embraces all that the high Sierra has to offer: sledding, snowshoeing, hiking, skiing—a lifestyle where our dogs are occupy a central part of our lives. Our puppies are raised as indoor family dogs where they are handled frequently from birth and well-socialized. We feel our Alaskan Malamute pups are quite special and deserve to be placed in loving homes that are well-equipped to meet their needs.

Things to consider before buying an Alaskan Malamute

The Alaskan Malamute is a natural breed that evolved in harsh arctic conditions; certain ancestral survival characteristics--strong prey drive, same sex aggression at maturity, an obsession with food (resource guarding)--may emerge in the absence of consistent, firm guidance from owners. These breed instincts must be tempered with ongoing training and socialization to ensure that your Alaskan Malamute develops into a good canine citizen and a pleasant family companion.

We recommend that Malamute puppies attend two courses (6 weekly sesssions each) in a group setting during the first year (beginning at 10-12 weeks), followed by an advanced class (or refresher course) in the following year. Group classes are fun, social occasions for both owners & their dogs and a better option than hiring a private trainer to come to your home. To learn more about canine behavior & training methods, we highly recommend Patricia McConnell’s, “The Other End of the Leash” and any of the books by the Monks of New Skete.

With proper handling and training, the Alaskan Malamute is a remarkable breed—intuitive and capable of forming deep bonds with humans, but it is quite different than a Golden Retriever. Malamutes are smart, stubborn, funny; they can be a little bit wild, with over-the-top energy in their youth. They do best with active, athletic families individuals who can provide daily exercise. The Alaskan Malamute is a magnificent dog, but it is not the right breed for everyone. We encourage prospective owners to contact us with any questions. We realize there is a lot of misinformation on the internet, but we have lived with Malamutes since the late 1970s and are quite happy to discuss the pros & cons of Malamutes versus other breeds. Adding a dog to your household is a big commitment; let us help you find the right one.
