Our boy is back home, thank you all again for all the well wishes during this time.

Is this a malamute? Rescued this fella from bad experience. I've read a full breed malamute does Doesn't have blue eyes. He's not "talking" like a husky. Does not have the energy of a husky, I taught him to speak for a treat, barks once and no more. So I know he can bark. Very Sweet Boy.

We have a 7 year old male malamute that we rescued, hr was severely neglected and and needs serious work in the grooming department, we tried some basic trimmers and they die quick, or barely trim at all, so we are looking at purchasing some good electric clippers and want to know some recommendations

I've never posted on here before, it helps to type about it, dont care if anyone responds. Just found out today my handsome boy has cancer and we have to put him to sleep, im lost after all this and knowing I only have two more days with him.....

I have one we rescued that we were told was Alaskan husky but have had several say due to tail it may be partly malamute. We do not know the parents.

Hello fellow Malamute lovers.

My dog is a about 7 years old (adopted, so no idea of his actual birthday) 25% Malamute, 24% Husky, and 3 other breeds mixed in. But he is the size of a Malamute & lazy like one (a little bigger than our last full breed Malamute).

I noticed that 2 out of 4 of his paw pad hairs seem to be growing outward instead of being flat like the other 2.

Is this a normal thing or should I look into taking him to the vet? He shows no signs of being bothered by walking or me touching it.

Our girl is getting older &, despite the rest of her coat being silky smooth, her tail has dried out! I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on what we can use to soften it a little? It doesn’t seem to bother her, it’s just not very nice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok. Don't flame me, people. This is Kaiser. He is a king malamute and an absolute unit. We walk him daily in my neighborhood. For the most part Kaiser is well behaved, polite and relaxed when other dogs go running to their fences and bark. He follows commands, no problem-o. He just keeps on going, gives them a side-eye and we go on our way.

HowEVER, there are corner lots where little dogs come running, barking and snapping at their gate. When that happens Kaiser turns to Cujo, impossible to control and he acts like he wants to rip the other dogs faces off. Obviously being a healthy malamute, you can imagine how hard this is to control because These. Dogs. Are. So. Freakishly. Strong. It's embarrassing. And certainly not good for neighborly relations. It only happens when the dogs charge the fence at Kaiser barking and SNAPPING.

We use a choke collar because he is so fluffy any other collar just slips right off and I DON'T want to take the chance of him getting loose. I tried the face collar and got the same results. Face collars are fine and dandy when the dog is not a floof machine.

Is there a harness out there that can tighten around his front legs and prevent him from charging? I know this is a stupid question but I figured I would ask, anyway. I know there are harness that have a handle on the back to lift them off the ground completely (and I use one for my smaller -45 lbs- shelter dog because she follows Kaiser's lead). But there is no way I can lift Kaiser. At. All. I am too short and he is well over 100 lbs of solid muscle.

Anyway if anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it.

Edit: I want to thank everyone for your responses and will continue to read each and every one of them. I will be purchasing a no pull harness with the handle. And instead of walking him through the neighborhood, I will walk him in the back forest. He might like that better, anyway!

Edit 2: wow thank you guys so much. The harness is amazing, and I am calling a trainer Monday! I hope everyone's weekend is wonderful :)

I have a 2 year old male rescue. He is a fixed purebred as he came from a Humane Society. He was a surrender not a pickup.

He is a big boy 105lbs when I got him, but he is still probably underweight based on how much of his himself I can feel. His head can rest on counters with no effort.

He has pretty bad separation anxiety. I'm not sure if this was from the shelter or if it was preexisting before them. They didn't say anything about it in the paperwork so my guess is tge shelter. He has destroyed my door knob and shredded a blacket, multiple grocery bags (cloth), and has busted out of his XXL grate to the point it's no longer usable.

Does anyone have some advice, tips, tricks, etc. To help me resolve this. When I'm home he's a gentle gaint, but as soon as I'm out of his sight he starts to act up.

Seriously. The amount of people that come here and assume their husky is a malamute is insane. Wooly husky doesn’t equal malamute. Malamutes aren't even supposed to be wooly. It’s a recessive trait that hinders their ability to actually do what they were bred to do.

I see a crap ton of people also think malamutes are high energy. They’re not. I’ve owned 5 and none of them needed to “go to the dog park for 5 hours every day”. It makes me question how many people here have huskies, thinking it’s a malamute, and spreading false information.

Malamutes are high ENDURANCE dogs. This means they can go go go for HOURS if you let them. A minimum of a 1-2 hour walk per day with some play/puzzle toys is enough for this breed.

This is my dog Draco. He’s not 100 percent malamute, but he is technically more malamute than anything else. He is 35 percent Malamute, 25 percent Husky, 25 percent Gray Wolf, and 14 percent GSD. I saw someone else talking about people posting their purebred huskies on here rather than Mal’s which is not my business, but I also saw he or she mentioned that Malamutes aren’t high energy but high endurance. Now Draco isn’t fully Mal whatsoever, but this stands true for him. He is very calm indoors and easy to handle. If I take him out on a walk he can go for hours if I let him and if I’m in the mood, but yes 1-2 hours of walking and some play definitely is enough to keep him calm and happy at home. I asked a mod on here if it was okay to post about my dog if he wasn’t fully Malamute, and I was told that it was okay, so if anyone is upset by the fact he isn’t a purebred I apologize.

When it's hot outside and the A/C is on inside!

And the groomer said he moved a lot during his session on friday, which is unlike him. Does this warrant a vet visit? Anyone else have this happen before?

Literally the title
