... and there is a really good batch of advice in the "Choosing" thread in Living With Mals. |

There is nothing more adorable than mal puppies, they make you smile just by looking at and watching them. You will love it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Best of luck at the breeders - I know the waiting can be so hard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I would be most focused on the breeder - if you feel good about them I am betting you can find a puppy you love - tough part will be picking just one!

It went very well, the meeting with the breeders.
We spent 4,5 hours there. A lot of talking, a lot of time with the pups and we also met their family: the mom, dad, grandmother and the uncle. We decided to go for it and now we have the 4th choice in this nest. 3rd choice for a male pup (there are 9 male pups in the nest, 2 female). We don't have to pick a pup until the last week and the breeder will help us decide. They are very experienced breeders. We have a very good feeling about this but it's also a bit scary that it's only 4 weeks until we can take our pup home. It was great to be with the pups, they look like little carebears! We have no idea which one to pick, they are all active at the same times, sleep at the same times and get thirsty at the same times. Good that we didn't have to pick one now! I can't wait to visit them again! http://www.evee.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/pups015.jpg http://www.evee.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/pups023.jpg http://www.evee.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/pups017.jpg http://www.evee.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/pups035.jpg |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) They are all beautiful!! It will be hard to choose one! When we got our last two we had the breeder e-mail us pics every couple of weeks. I'm excited for you. Our babies are eight months already. Time goes fast.

Thank you, thank you for the puppy fix!!! You could sneak me one.... fed ex.... no one has to know.....
Seriously, they are beautiful pups and I am so happy for you. Four weeks sounds soon but I bet it drags waiting for your baby. Our breeder sent weekly pics as well, and updates as she decided who would do best where personality wise. It kept me going until we could pic the baby up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) -------------------- Laura, Breana & Nanook

Visiting the litter every so often in the next four weeks is a great idea. It sounds like the breeder will be helpful in guiding your choice. Watch the puppies in the litter and get an idea of how they relate to the group as a whole. Observe how they behave when a person arrives. Observe how individuals react to surprises. And tell the breeder all about your lifestyle and plans as they relate to your puppy. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful fluffy little companion in four weeks. I love the last two sleepy time photos!

Hello there fellow Dutchy, I'm new here as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Oh my those furkiddies! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I wouldn't be able to pick either, they are all so loveable. Which breeder have you decided on if I may ask? Batsa Zagroda maybe? Saw they had pups available on the amcn-site. I cannot help myself from lurking there even if I agreed to myself to finish school first. But those pictures sure make a heart skip a beat! Be sure to post more next visit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

The breeder is Batsa Zagroda indeed. We will visit the nest once a week so next week more pics haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
We have been waiting for a pup for so long and i still can't believe that in 3,5 week he will arrive! |

They are all so CUTE! Really, it's absolutely true... nothing more adorable than a Malamute pup. I would never be able to choose which of those fuzzbutts to take home. When we chose, it was sort of by default. We wanted both to be gray and white, one male and one female. There were 8 in the litter we chose from, 2 females and 6 males. Only one of the females was gray (the other black and white), so that was Chinook. Of the 6 males, 3 were black and white, so that left 3 gray to choose. Jim picked Turk when he was 2 weeks old (love at first cuddle, I think!). Of course, this is TOTALLY the wrong way to do it, but it worked out, and next time (of course there will be a next time!) we will do it the educated way. Have fun with your observations... I am so jealous of your new adventure! |

Nothing sweet than little mal babies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Select carefully, like Sue said you have to think of your life style and previous dog experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Mals are adorable babies and beautiful adults but can be a nightmare too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
