About SunMtn Malamutes

I’ve been working with dogs for over a decade, beginning in rescue and behavior work before expanding into training, performance, and thoughtfully planned breeding. My background includes fostering and rehabilitating dogs with complex needs, operating a professional training business, and competing with my own dogs in obedience, rally, and conformation. My breeding program is intentionally small and relationship-driven. Each litter is planned with structure, temperament, health, and long-term suitability in mind—not just for the show ring, but for real life. Puppies are raised in my home with careful attention to early neurological development, environmental exposure, and foundational skills that support confident, resilient temperaments. I’m an AKC Temperament Test judge, CGC/STAR Puppy/Trick Dog evaluator, and remain actively involved in breed and all-breed clubs. My dogs live full lives as companions and partners first, with training woven into everyday routines rather than isolated exercises. I place a strong emphasis on matching puppies to the right homes and supporting owners well beyond pickup day. My goal is to set both puppies and people up for long-term success—through honesty, education, and an ongoing commitment to the dogs I produce. If you’re looking for a thoughtfully raised puppy from someone who prioritizes temperament, structure, and lifelong support, I’m happy to connect and talk more about whether one of my puppies may be the right fit.
