Alaskan Malamutes

There are a few, but the MAJOR one is definitely hip dysplasia.

training but they will always run when the see a small animal or cat....its just there nature

Probably how most dogs defend themselves; By biting and growling and snarling.

im just a kid, 10 years old.i have a friend named kylie who knows most about wolves and dogs. it seems like Siberian huskies are bigger than malamutes. the only reason i ask this question is because my great uncle had a husky and she was either a malamute or a Siberian husky. she looked liked a wolf in winter. she would scare people in winter. its sad because she died.her name was molly.

Although it is possible for a dog to have two litters a year, this is not adviseable as it puts too much strain on the mother. Dogs should not have more than two or three litters in their lifetime and most major Kennel Clubs will not register puppies from a female that has had more than three litters.

Yes, and lots too. They have a very thick, double layered coat that protects them from sub-zero temperatures. For this reason they shed heavily.

Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes are two different breeds. They can be many different sizes depending on the mushers' breeding (assuming they're working dogs). Siberian males are usually between 45-60 and females between 35-50 pounds. Malamute males are usually between 75-90 pounds and the females between 65-80 pounds. Many of these dogs can get even bigger depending on what cargo they are hauling or smaller if they are racing, though, typically, you wouldn't race a Siberian or malamute anymore. Mostly just mixes now.

I'd say steer clear for a week or so. The mother can be over-protective, she can leave the puppies, or the puppies might even get hurt.

The Alaskan Malamute is a great dog, it is rare to find them for free or for adoption. The Humane Society is the best place to locate dogs for adoption. Some times Petco or other pet and pet supply stores offer dogs for adoption for a fee.

The best way is to turn your back to the Malamute and cross your arms. They'll see that you don't want to give them attention for now. If jumping and biting is the problem, act like a tree and lift your arms out of the way if they still try.

They can breed 2 times a year like regular dogs.

An Alaskan malamute is a very large and powerful dog well equipped by nature to defend itself.

It is however a domesticated and friendlyanimal and has absolutely no need or place in fighting with any other dog.

Unless they are released or accidentally escape and become feral, there is no such thing as wild Alaskan Malamutes. The Alaskan Malamute is a domesticated breed and therefore does not reproduce or survive successfully in the wild. They are not like wolves and feral dogs will rarely ever flourish in a wild habitat. Feral dogs of any breed learn to survive by eating human leftovers and any other dead animals or scraps that they can find. Very few feral dogs ever hunt successfully.

The Alaskan Malamute is a Nordic sled dog, descended from the Arctic wolf. Its name comes from Mahlemuts, an Alaskan tribe that raised and cared for these beautiful snow dogs. Originally used 2000 to 3000 years ago by these Mahlemuit Eskimos of Alaska, these highly valued dogs were their only form of transportation. These amazing dogs have strength, endurance with a will to work. They pulled not only light traveling sleds, but they also hauled heavy loads of food and supplies for the Arctic people. Packs of Malamutes have participated in many polar expeditions, for which they are particularly well adapted due to their tenacity, sense of direction, and excellent sense of smell. They have appeared as unforgettable characters in the stories of Jack London and Rudyard Kipling. The Malamute went with Admiral Byrd's expeditions to the pole. The Alaskan Malamute is cousins with the Arctic breeds, Siberian Husky, Samoyed, and theAmerican Eskimo dog. Some of the Alaskan Malamute's talents are sledding, carting, search & rescue, weight pulling and racing.

The Malamute has two coat layers- the oily undercoat and the harsh overcoat (like a polar bear or a wolf) that keeps it warm and protected from the elements. They also have deep set small eyes and a relatively short muzzle in comparison to their size, minimizing the heat lost from the extremities. They have big wide paws with fur in between their toes to prevent clumping and sores from the snow.

Yes, it can fight off a pitbull as it can fight off an adult rottweiler too, that is capable of killing a pitbull. In fact, malamutes, which have thick defensive fur, fight like huskies when threatened.

Only to the wolf they will protect you from!

The youngest age an Alaskan Malamute can be before you can get one is 6 weeks. You can get a boy and girl if you are able to care for them both.

Yes, Alaskan Malamutes have a thick, double-layered coat that shields them from cold and wind. They may require daily brushing, especially if the dog is kept indoors to reduce shedding on furniture. Although the Malamutes coat is very thick, it is not particularly long, but can become matted.

While Huskies and Malamutes may look very similar, their temperaments differ drastically. Malamutes have a calm, easy temperament. They are generally better suited for family life and enjoy human company, though they are not to be trusted around small animals. Huskies, on the other hand, have a temperament and behaviors closer to that of a wolf. They are more independent of humans, and thus, require more training than a Malamute would.

No! They seem to be endangered because people keep confusing them with huskies. The difference between the two is that malamutes can only have brown eyes and they're bigger. Huskies can only have blue and they're skinnier. If you have one that has one blue eye and one green eye, that means that they're a mix.

Males weigh about 85 pounds. Females weigh about 75 pounds.
