About the Alaskan Malamute

The Alaskan Malamute is a large dog breed originating in United States (Alaska). Adult dogs typically weigh 75 to 100 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as independent, strong, high-prey-drive, cold-tolerant.

Active cold-climate households with secure fencing, time for daily vigorous exercise, and tolerance for heavy shedding. Hot climates, apartments, homes with small pets, or owners wanting an off-leash-reliable dog.

Adult Alaskan Malamutes need about 90 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 120 minutes. The coat is double-coated with very-high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
