Alaskan Malamute - The Nordic Sled Dog
The Alaskan Malamute is a medium-large to large dog that weighs
between 70-95 pounds and measures up to 25". They are best known
as sled dogs and are used to hard work. They ideal for cold
climates or homes that will keep them cool and hydrated in hot
summers. The Alaskan Malamute has a thick, coarse outer coat and
wooly, dense undercoat. They are dressed for cold weather. If
you own an Alaskan Malamute and live in a warmer climate, you
need to make sure that they have a place to get out of the sun
and plenty of water.
They come in a variety of colors including solid white, shadings
of light to medium gray, black, sable, and red. In animals with
shadings, parts of legs, feet, the underbody, and part of face
markings are predominantly white. The AKC does not recognize any
other solid colors than white.
Alaskan Malamutes are independent, friendly and loyal. They are
more active as puppies and tend to mellow when they get older.
They are chewers, diggers and explorers. If you don't want it
played with, than put it away. When your Alaskan Malamute is
outside, make sure that they can't dig out of the yard or jump
over they fence. They are not good apartment, small home or city
dogs. They love to be outside and need plenty of room to play.
Because they are extremely playful as puppies, they would be
better for older children until they become calmer. They work
best with other animals and pets when they are socialized at a
young age. They can be aggressive towards other dogs and can
consider small animals prey. This is an ideal dog for a family
home that allows plenty of outdoor time to play and explore
The breed dates back over 2000 years and is a native of Alaska.
They were originally used as sled dogs by the Alaskan Malamute
Eskimo tribe. In addition to a companion dog, the Alaskan
Malamutes are still used as sled dogs for racing, exploration
and families living in arctic regions.
As hardworking sled dogs, they are important household pets for
families living in cold, snow covered areas and imperative to
their way of life. If you are looking for an independent but
loving companion, the Alaskan Malamute is a perfect dog for you.
