Alaskan Malamute Stud Dogs

Frozen Breedings

At Snowlion our Alaskan Malamutes are members of the family; they are happiest sleeping indoors. Because our priority is the total well-being of our dogs, we choose to keep our Malamute pack small by placing some of our promising show and working dogs with friends and by relying on frozen breedings.

The storage of frozen breedings allows us to maintain the genetic diversity necessary for our breeding program and gives us access to Alaskan Malamutes who reside across the globe. Returning to proven champion Alaskan Malamutes from the past (many of whom lived in the 1990s), also gives us indepth knowledge of the genetics involved and accurate expectations for each litter. All our frozen sires have been health-tested with the appropriate screening for the breed and were carefully selected to support our focus on longevity, overall health, and superb temperaments.

By keeping top champion & performance Alaskan Malamutes on ‘ice’ we maintain a selective, quality breeding program that draws on three decades of experience and the strong foundation behind our current Malamutes. The use of frozen allows us to select the best combination for future litters with the goal of welcoming happy, well-balanced Snowlion puppies into our lives.

We are proud of our accomplishments as top breeders of AKC Alaskan Malamutes and the reliance on frozen breedings has contributed significantly to our overall success. Listed below are most important contributors to our breeding program and sires we plan to use in the coming years.

Ch RmalSnowlion MystikZZombe WPD  WLD

“Zzombe” DOB 10/22/91 OFA good, eyes clear

Sire: Am/Can Ch Rmal Gr-Cld Trauma Makes My Day WTD OFA Excellent
Dam: Rmal’s April Snow OFA good

Zzombe, our foundation dog, is the the sire & grandsire of several champions and Best in Show dogs. He had one of the gentlest dispositions I’ve seen in a malamute. Zzombe was also a strong working dog, earning his packing title at 9 months and running lead on our team until he was 11 years old. He is an old style working dog who consistently produces large bone and correct movement. A malamute breeder judge once told us he was one of the best moving malamutes he’d seen. His pedigree is a complete outcross to the predominant show lines today and thus represents an important gene pool for preserving genetic diversity. Frozen is available to approved bitches.

Snowlion Chasing the Monsoon

Sire: BISS Ch Nanuke’s A Rumor of War ROM WTD OFA good, eyes clear
Dam: Snowlion’s Sierra Noel WTD “Binky” OFA excellent, eyes, Pn clear

Chase is a fun-loving, affectionate boy and the sire of our red girls—Ziggy and Kenna. He is the half-brother to several of our Best in Show males, and in our opinion, the better producer—his pups, especially the females, have remarkable breed type & excellent bone. Chase has earned points toward his championship, but he prefers to run in harness rather than travel the show circuit. Frozen is available to approved bitches.
