All dogs need diffrent types of care. When you have an Alaskan Malamute or a Siberian Husky or a mix of the two theres a lot you can do. You need to give them a lot of attention and if you do you might end up with something chewed up. Try and get them into puppy classes as soon as possible. The younger you get them trained the easier it will be when they get older. With northern breeds the saying "you can't teach and old dog new tricks" fits, I know from experience. Stick with training all the way up to adult hood. Also get them socialized with other people and dogs. Brush them daily and make sure you brush them alot when they are blowing there coat in the spring time. That's just a little bit of advice I would do more research on line to find out more.
