| 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). |

| 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. |
