Alaskan Malamute dog





The Alaskan Malamute is a dog that may grow into a dignified, calm adult, but some may continue being playful and puppy-like even when they are older. This is a breed that loves to play, and is therefore well suited to those that enjoy spending time outdoors and enjoying exercise. It is important to spend time with this breed and not neglect them, as they can become bored easily and this can lead to destructive behavior. This is a dog that loves to play and excise in colder weather, and their friendly disposition makes them a joy to be around, although this also means that they are not the best watchdogs. The breed can be aggressive around same sex dogs, as well as with other smaller animals.

The hunting instinct in these dogs is strong, and this means that you should be careful when he is around other animals or when he is loose - make sure that your yard or garden is securely fenced in order to stop him from escaping and running riot! Although a great companion and very loving, the Alaskan Malamute can be headstrong and stubborn, so they are best suited to those with experience in dog ownership who can quickly establish who is boss. The Alaskan Malamute is also very possessive when it comes to food, and therefore feeding should be separate from other dogs or animals. Early socialization is essentials to ensure that he gets along with other animals and people.
