We purchased a mal from Harvest Moon in July of this year. The pup was 12 weeks old. Mario told us that the pup was scheduled to go to an Australian buyer, but it fell through. Mario suggested that we use there new transport service as we were only a 6 hour drive away. We agreed to it and paid an additional fee for the transport. The 5-6 hours transport turned into 13 hours, with our pup arriving at 3am. The driver claimed that he pulled over to sleep, but it didn't make sense that he would be too tired to drive 6 hours, and that he needed 7 hours to that! We are pretty sure the driver must have made a secondary delivery along the way, which should not have happened with a live animal. Our pup arrived terrified in a crate that he couldn't move in. He couldn't even turn around or stand for 13 hours! He was urine soaked and dirty with no collar or lead, so it was obvious that the driver never took him out to stretch or use the bathroom. Mario mentioned that the pup had been living outside, so I assume that's why he was dirty. I would think a breeder that claims to treat these dogs like family would have at least groomed the animal before sending it to it's new owners. But, no. We did a great deal of research on breeders before settling on H. M,, but I guess people can claim anything. Our pup is nice looking dog, but he doesn't have Malamute eye color. His eyes are a gold color. We asked for pics if the parents, Mario said he didn't have them on his phone, but would get them. We have never received the pictures. Moose is supposedly the pups father, and we are still unclear if the mother's identity. A big issue is the pup is just terrified of people and the outside since we received him. This seems strange since the breeder claims his dogs are raised in a family home..I addressed my concerns with Mario, but he became hostle pretty quickly, and had very selective memory. It's very disappointing as we had believed this wasn't a puppy mill, but it seems like it is. Our pup has a good home with us, we love him, and he will be well taken care of, but I would be very careful about going business with these people. We also had a DNA test done and the pup is only 85% Malamute. It says he has Greenland dog in him. And another breed. I'd have to go look at the results again to remember what breed. But none the less not the 100% Malamute that he should be. read more
