Alaskan Malamute History  The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong, intelligent, and the ancient aboriginal dog that is accustomed to surviving in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with extremely low temperatures and minimal amounts of food. The history of the breed is inextricably linked with the ancient peoples inhabiting Siberia. A few thousand years ago, these dogs made the transition together with the tribes that migrated from Siberia to Alaska and then settled in a new place.  To date, we know the name of only one of the tribes - the Mahlemuts. The tribe itself is now extremely small, if at all, but ancient people have preserved their memory of themselves thanks to this amazing breed of dogs that have survived to this day. The Mahlemuts, after a long journey, settled in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula - this area is considered to be the birthplace of Alaskan Malamutes.  The ancient inhabitants of Alaska used dogs not only to carry heavy sleds. Their help was required in the hunting of seals, in protection from the polar bear, as well as for the protection of dwellings. Indigenous peoples have always treated their dogs very well, putting children to bed with them to make it warmer at night, and generally treating them like family members.  In 1896, the Gold Rush began in Alaska - crowds of people from America and around the world poured in search of gold. They brought other dogs, hardy, strong, and resistant to low temperatures. This affected the purity of the Malamute breed, in addition, several nurseries appeared, each of which developed its own breed line.  The first and the most legendary nursery was founded by an equally legendary man named Arthur T. Walden - the creator of chinook breeds. At his kennel in New Hampshire, he also bred Alaskan Malamutes, supplying dogs on expeditions. His work was continued by Milton and Eva Seeley. They began to develop a variety of breeds descended from dogs brought from the Norton Sound area of Alaska. This type of Alaskan Malamutes was called "Kotzebue".  It is also necessary to talk about the line of Malamutes, developed by Paul Felker Sr. He bought several specimens in Alaska in 1905 and in the 1920s. This type was called "M'Loot". Malamutes from his kennel were used during the First and Second World Wars, in addition, they took part in the second expedition of Admiral Byrd.  The Alaska Malamute Club of America was founded in 1935, and the American Kennel Club gave official recognition to this breed of dog in the same year. During World War II, many Malamutes were used for military purposes in dog sledding operations in cold regions such as Norway and Antarctica, and many dogs were destroyed.

Tail, fluffy saber-shaped. These animals in general are distinguished by great strength and endurance, which is evident in their every movement. The head is large, the ears are erect, the nape is clearly distinguished. The coat is long.     Personality The Alaskan Malamute breed is known for having irrepressible, immense energy. If you live in a private house, be sure - your dog will repeatedly destroy your backyard - lawn, garden, beds with vegetables - all this will turn into trenches and pits. By the way, it is better to dig the fence deeper or make a concrete foundation.  The best way to combat this phenomenon is to train your dog to dig holes in one place and accept that several square meters of your plot will be allocated specifically for these purposes. It is completely impossible to wean an animal from this, well, or it is very difficult. In addition, you deprive him of great pleasure in life. If you live in a city apartment, keep in mind that it will gnaw on your shoes, furniture handles, door jambs.  These dogs need long walks, physical exercises, training, and training, although it is difficult to train them and not everyone can do it. Therefore, the Alaskan Malamute is a breed that is not recommended for inexperienced owners or people with too soft a character. They are wayward, often, so to speak, "on their minds", sometimes they can simply not listen to you, although you give a very clear command. This, of course, must be fought.  Even if these dogs recognize you as a leader, they are like Siberian husky, will still try to test you for strength from time to time. The Alaskan Malamute is playful, active, loves various entertainments and toys, loves to be the center of attention, fool around and have fun. These dogs treat people perfectly, and even strangers are perceived with friendliness.  If you manage to build a proper, harmonious relationship with your pet, and put yourself in the role of leader, for the whole family it will be a real friend and a wonderful companion. These dogs are great for children, love to spend time with them. They are open and need human attention and communication, love to take part in the affairs of the family and feel part of it, require early socialization. If you love winter sports, the Alaskan Malamute will appreciate it, be sure, and will become your faithful companion in any, even the most difficult hikes.  They have strong natural instincts, so do not be surprised if your dog will hunt in the park for squirrels, in the forest for small rodents or even try to catch a bird. Moreover, they need to be friends with small dogs and cats from an early age, if you do not want them to hunt for them during walk-in adulthood. Malamutes hardly bark but can howl or make a specific sound. They are not suitable as a watchman.     Teaching Raising an Alaskan Malamute is a mandatory and necessary process, but not easy. They are in dire need of forming the right character for a harmonious life in the family since these dogs have their own history with obedience.  To properly interact with your dog, here are some simple rules:  do not feed the dog from the table in any case, especially if he is guilty. start the learning process at an early age - no later than 6 months. control food intake, making the dog clearly aware that you are the keeper of the most valuable food for him. If your pet behaves badly or does not want to follow commands, postpone the walk, hide toys. The dog should be clearly aware of who is the leader in the house. You need to teach your pet basic commands, but as for specialized ones, here it is better to contact a specialist.         Care The Alaskan Malamute breed needs to comb the coat twice a week, and during molting - more often. You need to bathe the dog once or twice a week. Sometimes there is information that they can be bathed once a month or even once every six months, but you can imagine what smell they will emit by this time. Be sure to clean the ears and eyes of the animal from deposits and dirt, and trim the claws every 10 days.     Common diseases The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong and hardy dog, but has a tendency to certain diseases, including:  cataracts; chondrodysplasia is a genetic disease; hip dysplasia is a hereditary disease; hypothyroidism; inherited polyneuropathy; hemeralopia (day blindness) – this usually begins to manifest when the puppy is eight weeks old.

It is also necessary to talk about the line of Malamutes, developed by Paul Felker Sr. He bought several specimens in Alaska in 1905 and in the 1920s. This type was called "M'Loot". Malamutes from his kennel were used during the First and Second World Wars, in addition, they took part in the second expedition of Admiral Byrd.  The Alaska Malamute Club of America was founded in 1935, and the American Kennel Club gave official recognition to this breed of dog in the same year.

The best way to combat this phenomenon is to train your dog to dig holes in one place and accept that several square meters of your plot will be allocated specifically for these purposes. It is completely impossible to wean an animal from this, well, or it is very difficult. In addition, you deprive him of great pleasure in life. If you live in a city apartment, keep in mind that it will gnaw on your shoes, furniture handles, door jambs.  These dogs need long walks, physical exercises, training, and training, although it is difficult to train them and not everyone can do it.

They have strong natural instincts, so do not be surprised if your dog will hunt in the park for squirrels, in the forest for small rodents or even try to catch a bird.

If your pet behaves badly or does not want to follow commands, postpone the walk, hide toys. The dog should be clearly aware of who is the leader in the house. You need to teach your pet basic commands, but as for specialized ones, here it is better to contact a specialist.         Care The Alaskan Malamute breed needs to comb the coat twice a week, and during molting - more often. You need to bathe the dog once or twice a week. Sometimes there is information that they can be bathed once a month or even once every six months, but you can imagine what smell they will emit by this time. Be sure to clean the ears and eyes of the animal from deposits and dirt, and trim the claws every 10 days.     Common diseases The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong and hardy dog, but has a tendency to certain diseases, including:  cataracts; chondrodysplasia is a genetic disease; hip dysplasia is a hereditary disease; hypothyroidism; inherited polyneuropathy; hemeralopia (day blindness) – this usually begins to manifest when the puppy is eight weeks old.

Alaskan Malamute History  The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong, intelligent, and the ancient aboriginal dog that is accustomed to surviving in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with extremely low temperatures and minimal amounts of food. The history of the breed is inextricably linked with the ancient peoples inhabiting Siberia. A few thousand years ago, these dogs made the transition together with the tribes that migrated from Siberia to Alaska and then settled in a new place.  To date, we know the name of only one of the tribes - the Mahlemuts. The tribe itself is now extremely small, if at all, but ancient people have preserved their memory of themselves thanks to this amazing breed of dogs that have survived to this day. The Mahlemuts, after a long journey, settled in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula - this area is considered to be the birthplace of Alaskan Malamutes.  The ancient inhabitants of Alaska used dogs not only to carry heavy sleds. Their help was required in the hunting of seals, in protection from the polar bear, as well as for the protection of dwellings. Indigenous peoples have always treated their dogs very well, putting children to bed with them to make it warmer at night, and generally treating them like family members.  In 1896, the Gold Rush began in Alaska - crowds of people from America and around the world poured in search of gold. They brought other dogs, hardy, strong, and resistant to low temperatures. This affected the purity of the Malamute breed, in addition, several nurseries appeared, each of which developed its own breed line.  The first and the most legendary nursery was founded by an equally legendary man named Arthur T. Walden - the creator of chinook breeds. At his kennel in New Hampshire, he also bred Alaskan Malamutes, supplying dogs on expeditions. His work was continued by Milton and Eva Seeley.

Alaskan Malamute History  The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong, intelligent, and the ancient aboriginal dog that is accustomed to surviving in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with extremely low temperatures and minimal amounts of food. The history of the breed is inextricably linked with the ancient peoples inhabiting Siberia. A few thousand years ago, these dogs made the transition together with the tribes that migrated from Siberia to Alaska and then settled in a new place.  To date, we know the name of only one of the tribes - the Mahlemuts. The tribe itself is now extremely small, if at all, but ancient people have preserved their memory of themselves thanks to this amazing breed of dogs that have survived to this day. The Mahlemuts, after a long journey, settled in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula - this area is considered to be the birthplace of Alaskan Malamutes.  The ancient inhabitants of Alaska used dogs not only to carry heavy sleds. Their help was required in the hunting of seals, in protection from the polar bear, as well as for the protection of dwellings. Indigenous peoples have always treated their dogs very well, putting children to bed with them to make it warmer at night, and generally treating them like family members.  In 1896, the Gold Rush began in Alaska - crowds of people from America and around the world poured in search of gold. They brought other dogs, hardy, strong, and resistant to low temperatures. This affected the purity of the Malamute breed, in addition, several nurseries appeared, each of which developed its own breed line.  The first and the most legendary nursery was founded by an equally legendary man named Arthur T. Walden - the creator of chinook breeds. At his kennel in New Hampshire, he also bred Alaskan Malamutes, supplying dogs on expeditions. His work was continued by Milton and Eva Seeley. They began to develop a variety of breeds descended from dogs brought from the Norton Sound area of Alaska. This type of Alaskan Malamutes was called "Kotzebue".  It is also necessary to talk about the line of Malamutes, developed by Paul Felker Sr. He bought several specimens in Alaska in 1905 and in the 1920s. This type was called "M'Loot". Malamutes from his kennel were used during the First and Second World Wars, in addition, they took part in the second expedition of Admiral Byrd.  The Alaska Malamute Club of America was founded in 1935, and the American Kennel Club gave official recognition to this breed of dog in the same year.

Alaskan Malamute History  The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong, intelligent, and the ancient aboriginal dog that is accustomed to surviving in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with extremely low temperatures and minimal amounts of food. The history of the breed is inextricably linked with the ancient peoples inhabiting Siberia. A few thousand years ago, these dogs made the transition together with the tribes that migrated from Siberia to Alaska and then settled in a new place.  To date, we know the name of only one of the tribes - the Mahlemuts. The tribe itself is now extremely small, if at all, but ancient people have preserved their memory of themselves thanks to this amazing breed of dogs that have survived to this day. The Mahlemuts, after a long journey, settled in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula - this area is considered to be the birthplace of Alaskan Malamutes.  The ancient inhabitants of Alaska used dogs not only to carry heavy sleds. Their help was required in the hunting of seals, in protection from the polar bear, as well as for the protection of dwellings. Indigenous peoples have always treated their dogs very well, putting children to bed with them to make it warmer at night, and generally treating them like family members.  In 1896, the Gold Rush began in Alaska - crowds of people from America and around the world poured in search of gold. They brought other dogs, hardy, strong, and resistant to low temperatures. This affected the purity of the Malamute breed, in addition, several nurseries appeared, each of which developed its own breed line.  The first and the most legendary nursery was founded by an equally legendary man named Arthur T. Walden - the creator of chinook breeds. At his kennel in New Hampshire, he also bred Alaskan Malamutes, supplying dogs on expeditions. His work was continued by Milton and Eva Seeley. They began to develop a variety of breeds descended from dogs brought from the Norton Sound area of Alaska. This type of Alaskan Malamutes was called "Kotzebue".  It is also necessary to talk about the line of Malamutes, developed by Paul Felker Sr. He bought several specimens in Alaska in 1905 and in the 1920s. This type was called "M'Loot". Malamutes from his kennel were used during the First and Second World Wars, in addition, they took part in the second expedition of Admiral Byrd.  The Alaska Malamute Club of America was founded in 1935, and the American Kennel Club gave official recognition to this breed of dog in the same year. During World War II, many Malamutes were used for military purposes in dog sledding operations in cold regions such as Norway and Antarctica, and many dogs were destroyed.

Alaskan Malamute History  The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong, intelligent, and the ancient aboriginal dog that is accustomed to surviving in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with extremely low temperatures and minimal amounts of food. The history of the breed is inextricably linked with the ancient peoples inhabiting Siberia. A few thousand years ago, these dogs made the transition together with the tribes that migrated from Siberia to Alaska and then settled in a new place.  To date, we know the name of only one of the tribes - the Mahlemuts. The tribe itself is now extremely small, if at all, but ancient people have preserved their memory of themselves thanks to this amazing breed of dogs that have survived to this day. The Mahlemuts, after a long journey, settled in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula - this area is considered to be the birthplace of Alaskan Malamutes.  The ancient inhabitants of Alaska used dogs not only to carry heavy sleds. Their help was required in the hunting of seals, in protection from the polar bear, as well as for the protection of dwellings. Indigenous peoples have always treated their dogs very well, putting children to bed with them to make it warmer at night, and generally treating them like family members.  In 1896, the Gold Rush began in Alaska - crowds of people from America and around the world poured in search of gold. They brought other dogs, hardy, strong, and resistant to low temperatures. This affected the purity of the Malamute breed, in addition, several nurseries appeared, each of which developed its own breed line.  The first and the most legendary nursery was founded by an equally legendary man named Arthur T. Walden - the creator of chinook breeds. At his kennel in New Hampshire, he also bred Alaskan Malamutes, supplying dogs on expeditions. His work was continued by Milton and Eva Seeley. They began to develop a variety of breeds descended from dogs brought from the Norton Sound area of Alaska. This type of Alaskan Malamutes was called "Kotzebue".  It is also necessary to talk about the line of Malamutes, developed by Paul Felker Sr. He bought several specimens in Alaska in 1905 and in the 1920s. This type was called "M'Loot". Malamutes from his kennel were used during the First and Second World Wars, in addition, they took part in the second expedition of Admiral Byrd.  The Alaska Malamute Club of America was founded in 1935, and the American Kennel Club gave official recognition to this breed of dog in the same year.

Alaskan Malamute History  The Alaskan Malamute is a very strong, intelligent, and the ancient aboriginal dog that is accustomed to surviving in the harsh conditions of Alaska, with extremely low temperatures and minimal amounts of food. The history of the breed is inextricably linked with the ancient peoples inhabiting Siberia. A few thousand years ago, these dogs made the transition together with the tribes that migrated from Siberia to Alaska and then settled in a new place.  To date, we know the name of only one of the tribes - the Mahlemuts. The tribe itself is now extremely small, if at all, but ancient people have preserved their memory of themselves thanks to this amazing breed of dogs that have survived to this day. The Mahlemuts, after a long journey, settled in the northeastern part of the Seward Peninsula - this area is considered to be the birthplace of Alaskan Malamutes.  The ancient inhabitants of Alaska used dogs not only to carry heavy sleds. Their help was required in the hunting of seals, in protection from the polar bear, as well as for the protection of dwellings. Indigenous peoples have always treated their dogs very well, putting children to bed with them to make it warmer at night, and generally treating them like family members.  In 1896, the Gold Rush began in Alaska - crowds of people from America and around the world poured in search of gold. They brought other dogs, hardy, strong, and resistant to low temperatures. This affected the purity of the Malamute breed, in addition, several nurseries appeared, each of which developed its own breed line.  The first and the most legendary nursery was founded by an equally legendary man named Arthur T. Walden - the creator of chinook breeds. At his kennel in New Hampshire, he also bred Alaskan Malamutes, supplying dogs on expeditions. His work was continued by Milton and Eva Seeley. They began to develop a variety of breeds descended from dogs brought from the Norton Sound area of Alaska. This type of Alaskan Malamutes was called "Kotzebue".  It is also necessary to talk about the line of Malamutes, developed by Paul Felker Sr. He bought several specimens in Alaska in 1905 and in the 1920s. This type was called "M'Loot". Malamutes from his kennel were used during the First and Second World Wars, in addition, they took part in the second expedition of Admiral Byrd.  The Alaska Malamute Club of America was founded in 1935, and the American Kennel Club gave official recognition to this breed of dog in the same year. During World War II, many Malamutes were used for military purposes in dog sledding operations in cold regions such as Norway and Antarctica, and many dogs were destroyed.
