What is the AMCC?

A United Voice

The Alaskan Malamute Club of Canada (AMCC) was formed in October, 1974 and by 1980 was recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) to function as the official National Breed Club representing the Alaskan Malamute. The CKC records indicate January 15, 1982 as the AMCC's date of official recognition. The AMCC's name was published earlier, in the June 1981 edition of "Dogs in Canada" magazine, the official publication of the Canadian Kennel Club. Over the years the Club has not been without tribulations but through the work and dedication of its members it can now boast of numerous accomplishments and offers a range of services and advantages to its members.

Though a Canadian club, our membership includes members from the U.S. as well as abroad. We publish a newsletter, The Malamute Review, six times a year, and it is full of information on raising, training, showing and working the Alaskan Malamute, as well as conformation results and general information.

If you are involved in any Malamute activities or are just a concerned Malamute owner, being a member of a National Breed Club provides you with a power base, a united voice, to the Canadian Kennel Club and in turn, the Canadian government. While being a member of the CKC will provide you with that same voice, it is advantageous to have something in common --- the Alaskan Malamute.
