The Alaskan Malamute is one of the most stunning and impressive breed of dogs, occasionally confused with the Siberian Husky breed, and often called ‘Snow Dogs’. A working breed known as sled dogs or racing dogs who still to this day can do the job they were bred for, unlike many who have lost the ability to fulfil their true purpose, these dogs are also used in some search and rescue teams to locate and start digging out those that may be covered in snow from an avalanche.
A dog who loves human company it is also a pack dog and they do thrive with their own sort.

Do not be under any illusion that they don’t require maintenance, they need to be groomed on a regular basis and when throwing their coat or moulting you will be in the middle of a snow storm!

They are also a very vocal breed who talk a lot, we are on a daily basis woken up each morning by the dawn chorus, same time each day and when you go into the kennels to see them it is a full chorus of talk to me first, this soon stops in dead silence once you have said hello to each one but I can assure you they are a wonderful breed to own and give great pleasure in both appearance, companionship and loyalty.

They are a large breed of dog who are very eager to please and when set tasks will do it to their best ability and look for praise, but they do need to be trained and ring-craft classes is an excellent way to do this and also to socialise your Malamute.

Like any breed there are certain health issues that must be taken into consideration if thinking of purchasing one, some excellent links can be found on our ‘links’ page.

Health issues that can be associated with the breed can be seen on our Club web-site, together with a wealth of information and a downloadable membership form.
