Alaskan
Malamutes Puppies require a long-term commitment to
obedience, activity, exercise and entertainment... their unique
character, intelligence and energy level can frustrate you, will
undoubtedly entertain you, and can bring you joy (when they're happy)
or grief (when they're not). They absolutely need a securely fenced
yard! Alaskan Malamutes will roam due to their hunting instincts.
Malamutes are commonly known to injure or kill other small pets, such
as cats, birds, rabbits, mice, rats, etc., simply due to their strong
natural hunting instinct. Raising a puppy with a cat does not guarantee
the cat's life-long safety! Alaskan Malamutes can be very destructive
if left unattended. They are not recommended as apartment dogs. They
need room to run; leash walking does not satisfy their energy. If this
type of relationship does not appeal to you, then consider another
breed. If it does then explore the idea of local rescues as well , talk
to local rescue organizations. There is no such thing as " GIANT
MALAMUTES ", these are malamutes that are only bred for one reason ,
for an oversized big malamute and usually always come with a lot of
painful big hip health problems. AKC standard -
There is a natural range in size in the Alaskan Malamute. The desirable
freighting sizes are males, 25 inches at the shoulders, 85 pounds;
females, 23 inches at the shoulders, 75 pounds. Woolies and long coated
malamutes are incorrect coat gene, although they make fine family pets
they should not be used for breeding purposes.
