Polaron
Kennels (formerly Chandler Kennels) was founded in 1989 and
is based
on Top Quality, Top Winning and Top Producing Malamutes. We are a small
kennel, enabling us to give quality attention to each and everyone of
our dogs!! Our dogs are part of the family and are treated as so. They share
time inside and outside the home.
We enjoy spending time
with our dogs doing things like training, grooming, playing and lying on
the couch in front of a fire watching TV.
Our limited breeding
program is meant to produce loving pets that can not only enter a show
ring and compete with top quality winning mals but also excel in the work that they were bred to do!
Our breeding program is
set up to help in the fight to rid our breed of genetic defects and
preserve the original Malamute.
In breeding, the first
thing that is considered is temperament; a good temperament is a must.
Second is confirmation; Malamutes were originally bred to pull heavy
freight over short distances. The Malamute must be able to move
correctly in order to accomplish this. A Malamute that is too small, too
large, or has poor movement, will not last to do the work that they were
bred to do. We OFA (Hip) and Chd (dwarfism) clear our dogs as well as
have their eyes certified clear. The final thing that is considered is
coat and overall appearance. Malamutes must have a course, dense coat in
order to survive severe winter conditions. A coat that is long or soft
will collect ice balls in the snow, therefore endangering the dog to
hypothermia. Their appearance needs to be balanced overall. For instance
a dog that is too short or too long in body will show weakness in
movement and strength.
The Malamute is a very
loving, gentle, happy dog that finds working rewarding. However they are
not a dog for everyone. Malamutes are a pack animal and will challenge
those in his pack (family). If you are not the type that can set rules and discipline,
then you very well could find your Malamute ruling you!
If you have never owned a
Malamute and are considering adding this breed to your family I would
suggest doing as much research on the breed first. Also, plan to visit
some nearby Malamute Kennels in your area.
