Filed under: Dog Breeds, Dogs — shae @ 1:11 pm

The Alaskan Malamute is a big and strong sled dog.  They stand tall and broad and weigh over 100 lbs.  They have a gorgeous coat and are very powerful breed.   The Alaskan Malamute has two layers of fur and it’s very coarse.  They shed up to twice a year and they shed  alot of hair.  The shedding process can last up to a month.  They have a wide head and thick but solid build. 

This breed is very loyal and intelligent.  They are playful and demand alot of attention from their loved ones.  They mellow out in their older age.  The Alaskan Malamute breed are happiest as inside and outside dogs.  They need strong companionship and lots of excercise.  If they don’t get the attention they need, they can become quite destructive.  It’s important that they have toys and are entertained when they are home alone.

The Alaskan Malamute loves to please.  They want to make their master happy but can also do the complete opposite if they don’t get enough play time and attention.  It’s important to train them as a puppy; since they can be a little hard to train,  with alot of encouragement and consistency.  They don’t have huge appetites like you would think with them being such a big dog.  They will take whatever you put out though so it’s important to stay away from “free feeding” habits since that can lead to dog obesity.

The Alaskan Malamute has a life expectancy of up to 15 yrs.  They make great loyal companions and would be the perfect pet for an active adult that has lots of patience, love and time to offer.
