Most Alaskan Malamutes have between 4 and 10 puppies in each litter. The average is 6 puppies.
The average number of puppies in a purebred Alaskan Malamute litter is 6, although they can have between 4 and 10 in each litter.
Well, it will get warm. Consider having its fur trimmed down regularly.
Almost all breeds of Dog have two heat cycles per year, including the Alaskan Malamute. Each heat cycle should last for around 2 and a half to 3 weeks, but it can vary for each Dog.
I've been trying to find this answer also, but haven't been able to find anything other than averages. That said, I can tell you that my Malamute, Kodiak (Kody), is currently 14 1/2 years old, turning 15 this summer of 2023. :)

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.
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.
my Alaskan malamute was around 800 and then 200 to fly her here from Alaska.they run around 700-1300. depending on color of fur and eyes.It depends on where you buy the puppy, but if it's a good breeder you should get your puppy for around $1000-2000.You want cheaper? Get an Alaskan malamute from a shelter or rescue. However, these Malamutes are probably not from the best pedigree and are most likely going to cost you more in the long run because of their health issues. One of their biggest health issues if hip dysplasia.
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.
The actual cross between a Malamute and a Shepherd breed is quite popular and some owners actually call them a 'Shepalute' but with the Husky mixed in only makes it a Mongrel I'm afraid. Just because the cross between an Alaskan Malamute and a German Shepherd Dog has been given a "name" does not make is any less of a mongrel. A pure breed is one that has consistently reproduced the same characteristics in offspring over many, many generations. You can not reliably expect the puppies from Malamute/Shepherd breedings to look the same. Some will have more traits from one breed, and some from the other. This is at odds with the definition of "purebred." With the Siberian in the mix or not, the so-called Shepalute is a mutt.
My dog had six puppies in her 1st litter of puppies.
