Alaskan Malamutes

An Alaskan Malamute is a carnivore, meaning their diet primarily consists of meat. They have a biological need for animal proteins and fats to thrive and maintain their health.

Alaskan Malamutes are a breed of domesticated dog and therefore are carnivorous. All dogs are naturally carnivores, although they can have a small amount of vegetable in their dog food, making them omnivorous.

Alaskan Malamutes are bred to thrive in cold climates and may struggle in hot weather due to their thick double coat. It is important to provide them with plenty of shade, access to cool water, and not to exercise them during the hottest parts of the day. Monitoring them closely for signs of overheating is essential in hot climates.

Yes, "Alaskan Malamute" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun referring to a specific breed of dog originating from Alaska.

The scientific name for an Alaskan Malamute is Canis lupus familiaris.

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. :)

The Alaskan Malamute (sometimes Malemute) is a powerful and intelligent dog of the spitz type that will not suit everyone, because they need a lot of excercise to remain healthy, and have retained their "survivor's independent temperament". These highly-valued sled dogs were bred to be used as the only form of transportation by the Inupiaq Mahlemut (or Malimiut) tribe of Eskimos in Western Alaska. In short, freighting.

It's bad for many dogs to eat fruit. Even though this is not a fruit, it's a good example: Avocados are poisonous to every single dog. So before giving an Alaskan Malamute fruit, I suggest checking it over with a vet. Alaskan Malamutes are very picky eaters anyway. But ask the vet about apples......

Some malamutes can reach 81 cm, but 63 cm is about average.

There are no significant differences between Alaskan malamutes and Siberian huskies. However they have slightly different shaped heads and huskies have blue eyes and malamutes have brown eyes. They are bred for exactly the same thing. They are both high energy dogs that are completely nuts but very lovable.... for the right owner.

There are major differences between the two breeds. Siberians can have brown, blue, one brown and one blue, or brown-and-blue eyes. Malamutes and Siberians are not bred for "exactly the same thing" at all. Please visit akc.org and search the two breeds for complete information on each.

The life cycle of a Siberian Husky is 12 to 15 years. The male usually weighs 45 to 60 pounds and the females weigh 35 to 50 pounds.

My 1.5 year old malamute can manage 10 miles / 90 minutes with me in the summer months. We haven't tried to run together in the winter, but I bet as it cools down, he could easily make it for 2+ hours.

Hello, I am also an owner of a Malamute cross Shar-pei, he is around 3-4 months old and growing fast. I can see both types of breeds dog in him, although his face changes a lot when he is happy because his ear's raise and pull his face back.

Here you can find his graduation photo from puppy school at 3 months old. Top of his class of course, congratulations Bruno! :P

Hi, I'm the owner of a shar pei/alaskan malamute mixed breed and he is wonderful, very kind with people and other dogs and looks very elegant with well-proportioned body and legs.

You can see him when he was 5 months old in this site

Nowadays he is 2 years old and, despite a seborrheic dermatitis problem that we solved with a special shampoo, he is in perfect fit and looks like an Alsatian with wrinkles in head. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Now you can see the old answer)

Hi, Having just met one yesterday, I have to tell you they look fabulous. I met a 4 month old puppy called George on a walk. The ower assured me it was NOT an intentional cross...... Very much the Shar Pei head, slightly less squashed in. Loose skin, but without the layers or rolls of skin at all. The coat was glossy, probably similar thickness to a Labrador. I could not have envisaged this cross, but this puppy looked just right! very well proportioned, great coat - just one consistent colour, a milk chocolate brown. And a wonderful temperament. If I see it again I'll take a photo and post it for you.

hello, im Sarah and i was wondering how much a pure bread Maltese is

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.
