What is the urine output of an Alaskan malamute?
The urine output of an Alaskan Malamute can vary based on factors such as age, diet, hydration, and overall health. On average, a healthy adult Malamute may produce about 10 to 20 milliliters of urine per kilogram of body weight per day. For a typical Malamute weighing around 75 pounds (approximately 34 kg), this could range from about 340 to 680 milliliters daily. It's important to monitor changes in urine output, as significant deviations can indicate health issues.
No, although the Alaskan Malamute is not a very common breed, it is definitely not rare. Alaskan Malamutes are widespread throughout the UK, America and Canada; plus most other parts of the World. A rarer Spitz type breed would be the Norwegian Elkhound.
How long do giant malamutes live?
Giant, over-sized Alaskan Malamutes live to about 9 years, because, like so many other dogs that are over-sized, they are plagued with unnecessary health issues, such as hip dysplasia, for one. An average-sized Mal can live up to 13 years on average. Usually, the best size for any animal is always average. Even "teacup" Chiuauahas are known to live shorter lives than average sized Chiuauahs.
Please dont buy a Mal just for it being giant; its a breeding gimmick to charge more.

One of the most protective of dogs is the Italian sheepdog. They will guard more or less anything and are known in Italy for protecting goats and sheep against predators including wolves. In Australia they have been used for guarding penguin colonies which were in danger of etinction.

Generally no, Alaskan Malamutes are rarely, if ever, used in the Iditarod. This is because Iditarod racers breed their own variety of crossbred dogs that perform better in the endurance-testing race.

The more experienced racers use a mixture of Labrador, Lurcher and Husky dogs to pull their sleds.

What is a m'loot Alaskan malamute?
There are three main blood lines of Mals: Kotzebue, M'loot, and Hinman.
The AKC Malamute you know today is actually a mix of the three!
The M'loot is the largest of the three and weighs 175-200 pounds, as compared to the 80 pounds of today's Mals. There are many fake M'loot breeders out there who breed giant Malamutes as "M'loots," so you really have to know where to look.
Giant Malamutes are generally over-sized versions of AKC Mals, but M'loots are completely different altogether. A good breeder is Wakon Giant Alaskan Malamutes. Many other breeders actually take the Wakon name because it is so well-known, just so that people would buy from them. They are misleading people into thinking they are working with Marlene Ross and her M'loots, but this is untrue, and she verifies it on her page.
M'loots are giant teddy bears.
