Artic Luv

Artic Luv has been breeding Alaskan malamutes in Acton, California since the early 1970s, when owner Bernadette Quercio first encountered the breed and was immediately drawn to it. Located in the high desert of Los Angeles County, about 45 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, the program has deep roots in the conformation show world, with champion-titled dogs among its notable alumni.

The program's foundation rests on a close study of established bloodlines, shaped by mentorship from respected figures in the malamute community who guided Bernadette's understanding of pedigree strengths and weaknesses. Adherence to the AKC breed standard sits at the center of the program's breeding philosophy, with a stated focus on producing dogs that reflect the correct structure and type outlined in that standard.

Those researching Alaskan malamute breeders in Southern California will find that Artic Luv draws on decades of hands-on experience in both breeding and exhibiting the breed, alongside a long-held interest in canine genetic health and the role DNA research plays in preserving breed soundness.
