Good grief! I haven't posted on here for quite some time. I've just been sending individuals the pictures and videos. We were under the weather for a couple weeks so it was hard to keep up.
The puppies are ready to go to their new homes. We're sure sad about it. They have been a real joy. All the litters are but this one was smaller so it was less work and a bit easier to actually enjoy them more.
They each have such different personalities. Sugar (now Petra) is quite the feisty little girl! She's got a ton of energy. Good luck Jake!! She seriously runs circles around the boys.
Frost actually loves to cuddle. Atticus is right there in the middle. He'll cuddle for a little while but then wants to get down and play. I love holding them but it's getting harder and harder they're getting so heavy. We will truly miss these (not so little) guys.
The weather has been great for letting them roam around the yard with Sitka and Koda. Koda likes the puppies as long as they don't get too close to his rearend. I think he also gets a little nervous that Sitka will get mad at him. He made the mistake of going into her puppy yard yesterday. He and Sitka got into a little argument (not so little) but he let Sitka win because he knew he wasn't supposed to be back there in the first place. All the puppies looked a little shocked! Luckily everybody was ok. I was a bit nervous that the puppies were even close. But all is well. Whew!

December 26th
The boys are playing tug of war with the toy while Sugar sneaks away with one of her own. She's a little toughie! I guess maybe being the only girl she's had to be. It's funny though, to see her in the background walking back and forth carrying that in her mouth.
These puppies and our dogs bring us so much joy. Do I keep saying that? Sorry not sorry. :)

Sitka delivered 3 beautiful and healthy pups Sunday, November 14th in the early morning hours. Mom and babies doing great! Sleepless nights have started but with just 3 it's much quieter than past litters! We're so happy to have puppies again. Sitka is very proud and Koda doesn't even know yet!!
December 20, 2021 - All of our pups have been adopted and will go to their new homes mid-January.
I haven't posted as many pictures as I usually do because, since there are only 3, I thought it would be easier just to send to each individual puppy parent. But then I realized (thanks Mike) that everybody wants to see ALL the puppies growing up together. I get that.
These guys are SO adorable and we think they are really advanced. Maybe we've thought that about all of our puppies - like people do with their kids? They really are mellow puppies. In this whole five weeks so far they haven't kept us awake all night. We know it's because there are only 3 (it's MUCH quieter than if you have 5 or more let me tell you). A lot easier to clean up after too. Sitka seems to be totally enjoying this litter too. There's not much reprimanding going on as in the past (like when they come and take her food right from under her). She doesn't usually stand for that and you can hear the puppy screams like they were getting killed. We used to run every time we heard the screaming, but it's just one of those things a person gets used to. The puppies are fine and are learning an important lesson - do NOT take food from an adult dog!
The time has gone so fast. Since Sitka had only 3 puppies this time we think she's winding down and probably getting close to being done having puppies. It's a sad thing for us, but we're getting old and every time I bend over to clean up the floor I think to myself, maybe I'm getting kind of old for this. What a sad thing. We aren't into just having puppies so we will not be trading Sitka for another female, or Koda for another male. We love them. They get to retire and live with us for as long as they (and us) possibly can We've so loved raising these beautiful dogs and knowing we're raising puppies that are going to be loving pets for loving people. We hae really enjoyed so many people that have adopted our puppies. Some of them I think will be life long friends.
I'll be posting more pics every week and if something special comes up.
Merry Christmas to all!!

Campbell's Alaskan Malamutes are home to 2 beautiful black and white Giant AKC Alaskan Malamutes, Sitka and Koda. Sitka is an absolutely beautiful black and white Woolie with long fluffy fur. She is a large girl at 105+#'s . She needs to be "combed" a lot. Woolie's don't shed like normal dogs do. They don't get large tufts of fur hanging out so that you know it's time to comb them (at least she doesn't).
We adopted Koda after Yukon passed away. They're both very black and white (Koda has a tinge of mahogany red undercoat at different times of the year). His coat is longer than a standard (they call him a plush) His coat isn't as long as Sitka's and easier to brush out (it also sheds the snow and rain better). They both have luxurious, beautiful fur and have the typical sweet Malamute disposition. Koda is a very large malamute also, weighing 130+#'s.
Both of these beautiful dogs love humans and humans have always loved them. They don't have a mean bone in their bodies. We love these dogs so much! They are part of our family. Our pups have the happiest of childhoods. That's why people are so happy with our dogs. They grow up gentle, sweet, goofy and happy if they're always treated with love. Koda and Sitka are beautiful, healthy, and sane. They (and their puppies) have half an acre to roam. They do not live in a kennel, they just sleep in one at night. This really helps their brains to be sound. Our kids and grandkids come by frequently and love to play with all of them. Adults and all the puppies roam the backyard all day long. We put them to bed each and every night (they actually love to be tucked in and get a special treat) in their very spacious kennel (see picture at bottom). These puppies learn a lot from people but especially from their parents right up until they go to their new homes at 8 - 9 weeks of life. That is why we have such great reports of the puppies that go to their new homes and grow up into wonderful, beautiful and sweet dogs.
If you are thinking of adding an Alaskan Malamute to your family, please see our "about Alaskan Malamutes" page for more information. Do your research. These dogs are not for everyone. They're big! They dig holes and they need a fenced in yard (or other means of containment). Malamutes are very loving dogs. We raised Siberian Huskies for 25 years and loved them very much too, but decided we wanted BIGGER dogs - so we got these guys! We are so glad we made that decision. We love this breed too! (Even though our backyard looks like a cow pasture). If you think you will have a perfectly landscaped yard with these guys, think again. We've decided our dogs are more important than a beautifully landscaped yard. Although, I have to say when Koda broke down our new 12' tall crab tree last summer, I was a bit upset. You know how expensive 12' trees are!
Sitka has her puppies in a large whelping box in our basement. It's very comfortable for her and her puppies (well, truth be told a little warm for her). After that, they generally go outside to live (around 4 - 5 weeks old, depending on the weather). It gets pretty messy with pooping puppies inside and these guys like cold much better than heat! When they go outside they stay nice and clean (as long as it doesn't rain!!) and grow their dog brains with the help of their great parents. We keep them until 8 weeks of age because it's very important for their socialization. Also, if they have to be shipped (we would rather not. It's nice for potential puppy parents pick up a pup. We get to meet you and vice versa. Airlines will absolutely not ship a puppy before 8 weeks of age.

Our Kennel. It's round so the dogs can roam the big area (which includes a basement).
