yes but look online as you have to train them to pull and do it step by step or the dog could get injured
Yes, Alaskan malamutes are known for their pull power in bulk and speed.
The Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are both classified in the Working Group (UK) and were both originally bred to pull sleds in cold regions. They are different as the Alaskan Malamute is usually taller and heavier than a Siberian Husky, plus the Siberian Husky can have blue eyes; whereas the Alaskan Malamute cannot.
Malamutes pull Shepards (presumably) Shepard sheep. It depends on the application that you wish to put them too.
The simple answer is Husky. But many different breeds of dog are utilised to pull sleds, such as Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, German Shorthaired Pointer, Canadian Eskimo Dog and even Foxhounds and Staghounds.
Siberian huskies are the best kind of dog to go dog-sledding with because they are originated in Siberia, where it is so cold! And also, they are used to the snow and cold weather. In fact, it seems they love the cold weather because of how much time they spend in it!
Siberian Husky or Alaskan Husky
In a weight pulling competition a dog is asked to pull 23 times its weight. So a malamute is capable of pulling at least that, but you have to remember the capabilities of a dog depends entirely on the individual dog, its health and its state of mind.
huskys were used to pull sleds malamutes were used to hunt bears.....
No. Although both breeds are used as sled dog, they are different. An Alaskan Malamute has brown eyes and is stronger around 85lbs or more, have brown eyes and are a very old breed while a Siberian Huskies have been around for about a century and have blue or brown eyes. Huskies are also smaller and faster while malamutes are much stronger. The Siberian Husky was developed by the Chukchi tribe of northeastern Asia thousands of years ago.
A full grown trained malamute can pull up to 3000 pounds
Yes, and they are quite happy to pull a load while doing so!
A good job for these guys is to carry a weighted doggy backpack, while going on a steady long walk. They need tons of exercise and the extra weight will help them burn some of that energy. Another thing you can do is train him to pull a cart. When he gets good at it you can get him to cart home groceries or other items from a store. Agility training would benefit this type of dog because they are smart and fast.
