B) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
To ensure the best possible care for our dogs, we offer the opportunity to become a foster family for some of our breeding dogs. This allows dogs in the program to enjoy an ideal living environment with a warm, welcoming family, where they are loved and can live a full, happy life.
The foster family program enables us to maintain a high-quality breeding program while keeping only a small number of breeding dogs in our own home. This allows us to remain a small, family-run kennel and ensures we have plenty of time to properly care for our dogs—something they truly deserve!
Fostering involves hosting a pet in your home without an initial purchase cost; ownership and breeding rights remain with the breeder until the breeding period concludes. For a female, this period spans a maximum of 4 or 5 litters, by which time she will be approximately 5 or 6 years old. A male will be around 9 or 10 years old. Furthermore, no breeding takes place before the age of one and a half, and only then if all health tests meet our high breeding standards.
At the end of the breeding career, the foster family has the option to keep the dog; ownership is then transferred, making the animal the family's exclusive property. This transfer occurs once the breeder has arranged for the dog to be spayed or neutered. This program allows you to have an exceptional, high-quality companion while keeping the animal for its entire life, ensuring it enjoys a normal life within a loving family. Typically, the dog returns home only for mating or for the birth and weaning of the puppies.
Acting as a foster family involves caring for the animal in accordance with the breeder's requirements and the specific needs of the breed. The foster family may also keep the animal as a personal pet. Fostering comes with significant privileges, such as the opportunity to have a high-quality dog in one's home.
C) THE AVANTAGES
The opportunity to welcome an exceptional, high-value dog of superior standard into your home (as you will receive the breeder's "first pick" from the litter—essentially the best of the bunch);
Access to expert advice regarding the breed and its training;
Access to free boarding at the breeder's facility when the female is in heat;
Exemption from breeding-related costs (such as genetic testing—CERF, AOC, PRA, OFA—and, of course, actual breeding expenses);
Ownership of a high-quality, valuable Alaskan Malamute at the conclusion of the agreement.
D) OBLIGATIONS OF A FOSTER FAMILY:
Allow the breeder to have veterinary examinations performed at a time of their choosing;
Allow the breeder to show the dog at exhibitions;
Allow the breeder to breed the dog at a time of their choosing;
The dog must live in a family environment—that is, inside the house. It must be well-socialized and must not, for instance, be tethered or confined in a garage; the health and exercise protocol agreed upon with the breeder must be followed;
The animal must not leave the region during critical breeding periods.
E) Does this program interest you?
A family wishing to become a foster family must be aware that a breeding dog faces greater health risks than a neutered or spayed dog. Giving birth carries risks, and the family must be willing to accept them.
