Hi Paul,

Why ask this on the net?  You should be visiting breeders, talking to your 
bitch's breeder.  Are you a registered breeder?  If your bitch is 18 months 
old she is only just old enough to be hip scored - have you done this? You ask 
for a good dog, how good is your bitch? Have you investigated other genetic 
problems in your breed?  Find a breed club and join it, ask questions.  If she 
is due on heat now, then she is too young to mate.  There are too many 
Malamutes out there with bad hips, bad temperament, too many being dumped, for 
people to just decide to have a litter.  THe most pathetic reasons we hear are 
along the lines of " she needs to have a litter before she's desexed" and 
"lots of people want a puppy" which usually translates to the bitch's owner 
wanting to make some "easy" money.
