Mission of Aspen Veil Kennels: To achieve the highest quality in health, genetics, and showmanship of various breeds to improve the active and overall population.

Dealing with mostly spitz breeds commonly used as sleddogs, Aspen Veil Kennels first started in 2004, specializing in Alaskan Malamutes and Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. Throughout the years, as Alaskan Malamutes have remained well in the ranks, other breeds have come and gone, including German Shepherds, Border Collies, Akitas, Chinooks, and Tosa Inus. During the kennel's time of operation, Malamute lines have frequently restarted, especially before the option of Locking became a feature -- hiatuses were usually the culprit for new breed batches. The mission of the kennel has not changed except for the permitted use of booster items and other helpful tools. (They were originally banned to "prove" anyone can achieve perfect health, but being an elite contradicted that concept.)

Ultimately, the current objective of the kennel is simple: achieve 24HH, lala litters, and high levels. I am not particularly interested in breeding for colors (except for the Alaskan Malamutes for the piebald gene and Alaskan Klee Kai for blue eyes). However, as time goes on, I may find myself leaning toward certain colors. To help with achieving high levels, I am attempting to breed toward one sport basing it on aptitudes. At the moment, each breed has a main sport, but will have a backup sport if they do not have an aptitude for the main. This is to still help with achieving high levels in the background until aptitudes begin to overlap throughout the generations.

My dogs will rarely be for sale while they're still in the process of achieving 24HH. Once I am more solid in my lines, I will consider selling to help with other kennels' lines.

Puppies
At the moment, I will not be selling puppies until I achieve 24HH, lala, spsp (Malamutes only) and yy (Klee Kai only) genetics in a consistent and solid manner. If you do stumble upon puppies available for reservation, by all means, go for it. Otherwise, please don't ask (especially if I have already picked two puppies out of the litter).



This kennel is working toward dog lines consisting of perfect health (24HH) and large litters (lala) (along with breeding for piebald [spsp] in Alaskan Malamutes and blue eyes [yy] in Alaskan Klee Kai). While statx4 is being considered, it is not a priority at the moment.

Planned Pairs

Alaskan Malamutes none	Alaskan Klee Kai none
Greenland Dogs none	Icelandic Sheepdogs none
Jämthunds none

Available Studs
Currently I am not offering consistent stud services until I have achieved my goals of 24HH genetics. Greenland Dogs and Icelandic Sheepdogs stud availability will not be for quite some time. As the Alaskan Malamutes' average levels begin to reach significantly high numbers, certain star individuals may be open to public breeding requests. These choices will be subjective and will not be available for the public until at least a certain level.



Chels's Palette (The Hub)
If I am currently not open for anything, please do not message me to try to convince me to make an exception. I may take such an incident into account when I do open commissions.
Sidenote: I reserve the right to reject a commission. This can be based on complexity, monetary offers, customer reputation, or overall customer behavior. (If someone can't be a decent human being, I don’t want to do business with that person, no matter how much money they’ve got to offer. I refuse to be an enabler for bad behavior — look what can happen if you do that with a dog!)
