Our Lifetime Health Commitment
We go above and beyond the standard breeder guarantees. At Dinork Kennel, we offer a Lifetime Health Guarantee on all of our Alaskan Malamute puppies. This reflects our confidence in the health of our breeding dogs and our commitment to giving your puppy the best start in life. We stand behind our dogs and are here for our families, every step of the way.
Our Lifetime Health Commitment
The foundation of our breeding program is extensive genetic screening. Each of our breeding Malamutes has been thoroughly tested for inherited conditions commonly found in the breed, helping ensure healthier generations and peace of mind for future owners. This includes tests for:
-
Polyneuropathy (PN)
-
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
-
Hereditary Cataracts
-
PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy)
-
Hip Dysplasia predisposition markers
-
Thyroid function (where applicable)
All test results are available to our prospective puppy owners upon request, reflecting our commitment to transparency and ethical breeding.
Orthopedic and Physical Health Evaluations
In addition to genetic screening, our adult dogs undergo OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) hip and elbow evaluations to screen for joint health issues like hip dysplasia—an important factor for large, working breeds like the Alaskan Malamute. We also conduct annual eye exams certified by veterinary ophthalmologists.
Thorough Vet Checks for Every Puppy
Before any puppy leaves our home, they are examined by a licensed veterinarian. This comprehensive check includes evaluation for heart murmurs, hernias, bite alignment, and overall physical wellness. All puppies are dewormed on a schedule and receive their first core vaccines prior to going home.
A Breeder That Stays Involved
At Dinork Kennel, we view our role as more than just a breeder. We are your partners in raising a well-adjusted, healthy Malamute. Every family who adopts from us gets lifetime support, ongoing education, and access to our private online community where other Malamute owners share tips, stories, and updates.
We help guide you on important care topics including:
-
Spay/neuter timing and options
-
Raw vs. kibble diet discussions
-
Socialization and enrichment ideas
-
Malamute grooming and coat care
-
Seasonal health precautions (especially for snow-loving dogs!)
