KingFishers Alaskan Malamutes - Pets Near Me

I first found this breeder back in late September 2018 when I started researching where I want to get my Malamute from. They recently posted a litter and I fell in love with 2 of the puppies, Rocket and Ayesha! Knowing that I was going to be traveling a lot over the next few months I left it to date. I told myself that if either was available in January I would get one. Well, low and behold, my female pick was available and I purchased her. Of course I had questions before making my decision and I was in contact with Monica and she answered every question and addressed every concern I had. I decided to get KingFisher's Ayesha and I couldn't be happier. She was a pup from Klondike and Blitz born 9/9/18! Both Mom & Dad were gorgeous!! She is the sweetest dog ever and so insanely smart!! I've had her almost 4 weeks now and she is the perfect addition to our Family!!! When questions come up since I've had her, I texted Monica and she was amazing with her responses and has really made this such an easy process and has totally put my faith in KingFishers!!!! If you are looking for a beautiful, smart, sweet, and well tempered Malamute pup, I would highly suggest you get one from this Family!! read more

I purchased a puppy from them in 2018. Upon arrival you could tell the pup had not been exposed to humans. As someone who has owned a malamute before I knew this one was different. It had no interest in spending time with me. It had no interest in sleeping in the same room, let alone in the same bed. This dog just didn't know how to interact with humans. Almost 2 years later what I have is a dog that has no interest in interacting with humans. When approached by other dogs she simply wants to attack them. I've been gentle and patient with this dog for 2 years, but there was something went wrong within it's first few months of being raised. My guess is that this dog was left to fend for itself the first 2 months it was alive at the breeding facility that was cranking out too many pups. This is a puppy mill. read more

I bought my malamute from them in 2011. The puppies name was storm. I renamed it yeti they did everything they said they were going to do and gave me a magnificent dog on their puppy page. On their website. They showed a litter of four whites and two black-and-white, I chose the largest one in the litter. The dog grew up to be a magnificent animal. Everybody always stop being on the street when I was walking him. I wanted to know everything about him. He was very healthy and grew up to be a giant malamute, 167 pounds is high weigh in at the vet. I had to put him to sleep in July 2023. He was the most magnificent dog I ever owned he was the fourth I owned. I'm very sad to see all the bad reviews about them I feel sorry for the people that had bad experiences with them but I just wanted to say, I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have a problem at all if they were still in business, I would still buy another one from them. I'm looking now for another one and I see one breeder that has some dogs with kingfisher heritage. I think I'll be calling them soon to see if I can adopt one as great asYeti Yeah my read more

We have had our puppy for 6 weeks now. She is amazing. She is such a sweet dog and really smart. The whole experience was great. She is very calm but playful. Our vet says she is very healthy and the trainer we are using, after seeing her, says he wants one. I highly recommend Kingfisher. read more

BUYER BEWARE!! DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THESE PEOPLE! Malamutes have always been my fiancés and I favorite dog breed. We planned for a longtime to finally get our pup. I reached out to KingFishers in July of 2017 and spoke extensively on several occasions with the yard manager, Monica. I was adamant that our top priority was the dogs health and friendly personality over color preference. Monica always reassured me that was always their priority above all else. She never disclosed any information prior to our issues about previous puppy deaths and ongoing health issues with the adults. After looking over all of KingFishers breeder dogs we fell in love with Klondike. I told Monica that Klondike was the Sir dog we would like to buy a female pup from and we were happy to wait for that dog exclusively. Monica informed me in late October that Klondike was being paired with Blitz. We put our deposit in so we could have 1st pick of the Klondike and Blitz litter and we specified that we wanted a female. I was informed throughout the whole pregnancy that things were progressing perfectly. Monica messaged me on January 9th that the first of the puppies were born. I was told that there were 8 puppies, 4 boys and 4 girls but that one pup was very small and they did not think it was going to make it. On the 10th I was told that everything was going fine then suddenly on the morning of the 11th Monica messaged me that they lost 5 puppies overnight and they did not know what happened! They had lost all 4 girls and 1 boy and they were not sure yet if the others would survive. It was at this point that Monica mentioned they had had issues with losing puppies before to the herpes virus! She told me they had put the pups on antibiotics right away, which I thought was fishy without being advised to do so by a veterinarian. Especially since they had no actual idea what the medical condition was. She assured me however that they were sending the pups in for an "autopsy"... It was at this point it began to become painfully clear that these people really have no actual veterinary knowledge. FYI, an autopsy on an animal is referred to as a necropsy. My fiancé and I were so dumbfounded and crushed we really did not know how to respond. We were trying to be polite and not panic but honestly we were in shock. It took less then 24hrs before Monica was trying to push pups from another litter on us! A few days had passed and I kept asking questions regarding a necropsy report, well come to find out they never had one done! They never even took the puppies to the veterinarian! They only supposedly sent in blood work. At this point we made it clear we did not want a puppy from that litter as we were not comfortable not even knowing what happened medically and we specifically wanted a female from Klondike. We were given no clear medical information of any kind and after requesting to speak with the owner about a refund we were given the cold shoulder! After requesting a phone call from the owner specifically I finally received a TEXT MESSAGE from him roughly 4 days later! I told the owner Josh that given the circumstances that we specifically wanted a female from Klondike and that's what we were paying for that we deserved a refund on our deposit. Josh was blunt and rude on the phone and only offered us a "credit" for a puppy from another litter because "we did not receive our desired puppy". Uummm actually our desired puppy DIED and we were given NO explanation as to why, so yes, we wanted a refund! All we wanted was our $500 deposit back and we would have disappeared. I hope these shady horrible people lose far more business from this warning and I hope no one else has to ever deal with these sketchy people again! read more
