History: The Alaskan Malamute is one of the oldest Arctic sled dogs, and it was originally bred to hunt seals, chase away predators, and pull heavy sleds for the Native American Mahlemut tribe, long before Alaska was even a state. The breed was used in many Polar expeditions, including that of Admiral Byrd in 1911. The Alaskan Malamute Club of America was formed in 1935, and the breed was also recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) the same year. Today, it is still used in the Arctic regions to pull heavy loads, and also in dog sled races.

Temperament: Alaskan Malamutes are powerful and active, with an enormous amount of stamina and strength. This breed has a lot of energy, so it requires daily exercise, both physical and mental. Without adequate exercise and activity, Alaskan Malamutes can become bored and destructive. Overall, these dogs are outgoing and friendly toward everyone, but can become aggressive toward other dogs if not trained and socialized properly. Generally, this breed does well with children, but could be considered too hyper or boisterous for homes with young children. Alaskan Malamutes are not recommended for first-time dog owners, as they have a strong will and require experienced handling and firm leadership.

Description

The Alaskan Malamute, sometimes colloquially called a Mally, is the largest of the Arctic dog breeds (i.e. Siberian Husky, American Eskimo, Alaskan Klee Kai, etc.). The Alaskan Malamute is similar in resemblance to a wolf but with a sweet expression.

It is a thick, well-built breed with a plumed tail held over the back and a head that is wide with ears that stand vertical. The feet are large, snowshoe type with tough pads. They have a thick, coarse double coat that averages 1-3 inches in length and comes in a range of colors including: light gray to intermediate shadings of black, sable, and shadings of sable to red.

Disposition

The Alaskan Malamute is a very loyal and intelligent breed with a sweet disposition. The breed is also good with children who are old enough to play with them safely. Malamutes are a very friendly dog and therefore not quite as suitable to being guard dogs as other breeds.

Although the Malamute is quiet compared to many breeds, they do like to howl and dig. Also supervise them around unfamiliar small animals, because they have a strong prey instinct. As with every breed, proper socialization with people and other dogs is essential.

Training

It is not particularly hard to train the Malamute to be well-mannered because they love to please. Like the Siberian Husky, this breed needs the humans around them to be firm, confident leaders because of their energy level and exercise needs. Obedience training is highly recommended for the Alaskan Malamute.

Exercise

Without firm leadership and daily mental and physical exercise, the Alaskan Malamute may develop destructive behaviors and act rambunctious. Malamutes love outdoor activities and even do well in obedience with firm encouragement. They are fairly active indoors and do best with a large yard. If you live in an urban/suburban area, use a high fence for the yard, and be sure to bury the base of the fence, because they are diggers and might otherwise dig their way out of the yard.

Grooming

The Alaskan Malamute’s dense coat should be brushed about twice a week. This breed is also a heavy shedder, and its undercoat comes out in clumps about twice a year. Bathing is actually not as necessary as you might think for this breed because its coat sheds dirt readily, and dry shampoo on occasion will also work.

Origin

The Alaskan Malamute’s name comes from “Mahlemuts”, an Alaskan tribe that raised and cared for them. Originally used by the Mahlemuit Eskimos of Alaska, this breed was highly valued due to being their only form of transportation and because of their strength, endurance, and good work ethic. They pulled light traveling sleds as well as hauling heavy loads of food and supplies for people in the Arctic. This has led them to appearing as characters in the stories of Jack London and Rudyard Kipling.

Malamutes are usually quiet dogs, seldom barking. When a Malamute does vocalize, it often appears to be "talking" by vocalizing a "woo woo" sound. A similar-looking Spitz dog, the Siberian Husky, is much more vocal.
