I read in the rules that they weren't, but when I looked at Alaskan Malamutes breeder directory, almost all the kennels there share the same prefix under different kennel names and are full of them?

They are not supposed to be allowed. Let me put it that way. You’ll see that same kennel prefix in lots of different breeds, with many kennels having multiples of one breed, for example Dobermans, Tervs, GSDs, etc. I have some kennels with overlapping breeds, but they share nothing in terms of names, etc, and though I might use a stud I own from another kennel, I am more likely to use an outside stud that I do not own. If someone wants to have the same breed in multiple kennels, I certainly don’t mind, as long as those kennels are kept separate and don’t act to knock other players out or give themselves an unfair advantage as some do.

That being said, there is nothing in the rules against show stacking and stacking has been a problem for years. I just wish people would play ethically, but it seems as though people can’t or won’t do this. I’m just going to play the best game I can, do what’s best for me and mine, and rely on old fashion karma. Eventually, it won’t work for them anymore.

People can have multiple kennels in the same breed, but its a fine line before they are super kennels.

Typically, you want to keep breeding and selling between the kennels to a minimum following the caps set in the system.

There are ways around the caps, but generally the system can catch some.

Superkennels aren't the end of the world. It just takes patience and time to overcome them.
