color
The
typical color pattern is shown above. Your Alaskan Malamute will have
majority black to light grey coat with some white, especially on the
face and chest. |
Grooming
The Alaskan Malamute has a double
coat, a thick woolly undercoat and a Guard coat. The Guard coat varies
in length and the normal coat is about 1 to 2 Inches. However a soft
coat or 'long' coat has a much bigger coat often laying down on the
back. This coat especially requires intense grooming when the dog is
shedding.
Failing to groom the coat out in
this time will leave the dog in knotty mats down to the skin, this dead
undercoat blocks the air to the skin and can accelerate skin irritations
such as 'hot spots' (skin dermatitis).
All Malamutes require heavy grooming. This is important not only to keep
the coat and skin healthy, but to reduce the amount of hair the dog will
drop around your house. Plus grooming your dog regularly will help bond
you to the dog and promotes a healthy relationship with the owner. |
History
Named after an
Eskimo tribe called the "Mahlemuts" and one of the original
"sled dogs". |
Positives
Very loyal to his
owners, the Alaskan Malamute is also friendly to others. New owners
should be aware however that the Alaskan Malamute has the potential to
be pack dominant and responds best to positive reinforcement training
methods (praise and treats). |
Negatives
Alaskan Malamutes
are built to work. They need 1-2 hours of work or exercise each day to
keep them happy. |
