IMPARTIALITY

History have shown us that every dog breed across the world is riddled with infighting and politics. The Alaskan Malamute breed in South Africa is no exception. This Breeders Forum will strive towards changing that and will not give any preferential treatment to any Breeder. It will include coverage and postings of all Alaskan Malamute breeders in South Africa whishing to join. No single breeder will receive privilege preference above another. This Breeders Forum has been established for everyone joining to have their own personal opinions about the breed, the directions the breed is going, the problems faced or to be faced by prospective owners or breeders. Those 'personal opinions' will undoubtedly be published on this site and therefore no postings will be moderated.

At the end may the Alaskan Malamute as a purebred breed emerge triumphant with those breeders joining this Breed Forum by putting their differences aside for the betterment of the breed.

WE SHOULD THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK

If a specific posting or comments makes you angry, give yourself time to calm down. Read all the posts to the list before replying, maybe someone else might have already clarified the question. You and you alone are responsible for what you say; remember that it could be considered libel and you might end in a Court of Law. When replying to a previous posting, it is common to quote parts of it. However, please quote only the part(s) that is necessary - repeating is unnecessary.

BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR ALASKAN MALAMUTE(S) OR THEIR  ACHIEVEMENTS ARE WELCOMED.
