Alaskan Malamutes

All dogs have 4 paws.

Yes, the Alaskan Malamute is a dog breed recognized by many reputable kennel clubs including the American Kennel Club, the Kennel Club, the Canadian Kennel Club and the FCI.

This will depend upon the size, breed and health status of the dog as well as the geographic location you are in. Larger dogs require more euthanasia solution, and dogs that are frantic with pain or panic require sedation for the euthanasia solution to be administered properly.

That depends on the time of the year, in the winter nearly all freshwater lakes are frozen, most rivers with the exception of the fast moving ones (the rivers never completely freeze). Even the bering sea has Sea Ice. But, in the summer many lakes in Alaska can get up in to the 70s.

Depends greatly on what you want from the dog. Both require a great deal of exercise, though Sibes will usually require more and should not be walked off leash. Both will sometimes be territorial or aggressive toward other dogs (particularly of the same sex), but should be friendly with humans. Sibes require much more grooming, and are very independent and thus can be difficult for new dog owners to train. They are also much more likely to howl and often don't do well in hot weather.

Personally I prefer Sibes--the person who wrote the original answer preferred Pits. It's a matter of taste and your lifestyle as to which breed is better suited to you. Neither is better.

Since they are gentle dogs that do not attack people, they can play around together without any loud barking. Most golden retrievers and malamutes are not very aggressive.

Well, it will get warm. Consider having its fur trimmed down regularly.

Heat (or seasons) usually last for around 10-14 days, but can last up to 21 days.

I had a Dalmatian Malamute mix named Pete, who recently passed away, he was 12 years and eight months old. He was the size of a Malamute, in his prime he weighed about 100 lbs., he was about 29 inches tall to the top of his head. His coloring was that of a dalmatian, white with black spots but his hair was medium length and soft like a malamute. In the face he looked like a malamute but with brown eyes. For the most part he was a social dog except when he was laying down or eating, it was best to leave him alone at those times.

The official Kennel Club Breed Standard stipulates that Alaskan Malamutes should reach between 23 and 28 inches at the shoulder - so they can vary in height considerably. They usually weigh between 85-125 pounds, depending on their height.

The upper part of western Alaska has Kotzebue Sound, where these amazing canines were originally bred for their hardiness and ability to haul heavy loads over rough terrain for long distances under extreme weather conditions.

These are some of the breed highlights:

* Not recommended for the first time dog owner as their intelligence combined with stubbornness can make them a challenge for someone not savvy in dog behavior. * Malamutes will challenge for alpha or top position in the household. Everyone who lives with the dog must be able to properly deal with this and clearly establish all family members as higher ranking than the Malamute. * Alaskan Malamutes are notorious diggers. Any fencing should be buried so they cannot dig out of their yard. * Alaskan Malamutes are a powerful, independent dog who, if not properly trained or exercised, can become destructive or bored. * With early socialization and training, Malamutes can learn to get along with other dogs and indoor cats. They'll view outdoor cats and other small animals as fair game. * Their high prey drive can cause a Malamute to stalk and kill small animals, including birds, squirrels, cats and even smaller dogs. They need to be properly socialized and introduced to other companion animals. * Alaskan Malamutes shed heavily twice a year. Their thick double coats are not suited for hot climates. * Generally a quiet breed, Malamutes rarely bark. They do hold conversations with you, vocally expressing themselves with "woo woo" sounds or loud, extensive howls.

Although it is possible to breed a female during her very first season, this is never advised as it may damage her physical and mental well-being so do not be tempted to breed at this young age (usually around 1 year old). A safe age to breed from your dog would be two years or over, although many breeders agree that the perfect breeding age is three years old. Do not allow any one female to have more than two or three litters in her lifetime.

120 ft - 75 ft= 45 ft

The coat is a dense double northern dog coat, somewhat "harsher" (in a certain sense) than that of the smaller Siberian Husky Siberian Husky

. The usual colors are various shades of gray and white, sable and white, black and white, red and white, or solid white. Blue and white (slate gray with gray pigment) also is seen in the breed. Eyes are almond-shaped and are always various shades of brown (from dark to light, honey or hazel brown); blue eyed Malamutes will be disqualified in conformation shows, as they would not be a purebred Malamute, but mixed with perhaps a Siberian Husky. The physical build of the Malamute is compact with heavy bone, in most (but not all) cases. In this context 'compact' means that their height to length ratio is slightly longer than tall, unlike dogs like Great Dane Great Dane

The Great Dane , also known as German Mastiff or Danish Hound , is a breed of domestic dog known for its giant size. The breed is commonly referred to as the "Apollo of all breeds". The Great Dane is one of the world's tallest dog breeds...

which are longer and lankier in their ratios.

The primary criterion for judging the Malamute in a show is its function to pull heavy freight as a sled dog Sled dog

Sled dogs, known also as sleighman dogs, sledge dogs, or sleddogs, are highly trained types of dogs that are used to pull a dog sled, a wheel-less vehicle on runners also called a sled or sleigh, over snow or ice, by means of harnesses and lines.Sled dogs have become a popular winter recreation and...

everything else is secondary. As many an owner has found out, the pulling power of a Malamute is tremendous.

According to the AKC breed standard, the Malamute's tail is well furred and is carried over the back like a "waving plume". Corkscrew tails are occasionally seen but are faulted in the AKC breed standard (a corkscrew tail is commonly seen in the Akita Akita Inu

The Malamutes' well-furred tails aid in keeping them warm when they curl up in the snow. They are often seen wrapping the tail around their nose and face, which presumably helps protect them against harsh weather such as blowing snow. Their ears are generally upright

Wild Malamutes eats a viratay of food like dead things or they kill little anmals such as; birds, mice, foxers, rabbits and baby eggs things like that

The arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), or polar rabbit, subsists upon crowberries, grasses, mosses, lichens, seaweed, willow twigs, and the bark, leaves, and stems of woody plants. When early summer arrives, purple mountain saxifrage is a favorite. Four subspecies of the arctic hare are recognized.
Sometimes the hare will eat meat in the winter. In the winter the arctic hare also feeds on bare twigs and vegetables just under the snow. They also feed on grass, bugs, twigs, and leaves in the summer. In the winter it will also eat spruce twigs, bark, needles, and buds of hard wood. They will also feed on willow and dwarf arctic plants.
Animals in the same family tend to eat similar food, so a hare would eat the same stuff as a wild English countryside rabbit, which would be grass, moss, heather and any wild plant things.

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

Well, Alaskan Malamutes don't live in the wild. They may look wolf-like but they are domesicated animals. If they would have any enemies it would probably be the same threats humans would have in the wild.

Most Alaskan Malamutes have between 4 and 10 puppies in each litter. The average is 6 puppies.

No, because they are not aggressive fighting dog breeds like pitbulls, and alaskan malamutes are nice like siberian huskies are.

No, an Alusky is a mix between an Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky.

An Alaskan Husky is a purebred dog.

Alaskan Malamutes can be dominant and are somewhat known for being escape artists. As puppies they tend to teeth on either your possesions or your family, but as they get older teeth are replaced with stronger adult teeth and their jaws get stronger. I myself have a big dog, but I know I can trust him. I suggest getting a more 'been there done that dog'. Preferably about 2+ years. But, if your main concern is getting a new family member that you want for a decent amount of time, maybe consider a great paranese. My dog is a mix of border collie and great paranese. He's big and fluffy and very loveable. Border collie and great paranese are two VERY smart breeds and also very fluffy, so you would need to get your new pal shaved at the start of summer every year, but it's worth it to keep the big guy/gal happy. I love my dog and I'm sure you will too no matter which breed you decide to add to your family. <3
