Any Q

Running Miles: Healthy Alaskan Malamutes make great long-distance running partners for people who love to run in winter or live in a cold climate. They can run 10 miles and more, depending up on their fitness. Mals are prone to overheating, so should not run long distances in hot or humid conditions.


Can you run with a Malamute?

Alaskan Malamute: Alaskan Malamutes are very strong and have tremendous endurance. They're not racing dogs—they were bred to carry large loads over long distances. They enjoy jogging and backpacking with their owners.

Can Alaskan Malamute run fast?

How fast can an Alaskan Malamute run? Alaskan Malamutes can easily reach a speed of 20 miles per hour and run over 40 miles at a time unless and until these dogs don't get overheated.

Do Malamutes run away like huskies?

Malamutes are less likely to run away, but still have that drive to run and are highly athletic. Both dogs will need plenty of exercise throughout the day, but their workout routines will vary slightly: Huskies were built for speed so they will want to run around, go on brisk jogs and chase other dogs around.

When can I start running with my Malamute?

Malamutes like most large working breeds need lots of exercise. But puppies should not be run on a leash until they are over 6 months old. Young puppies under 6 months of age should be walked twice a day and allowed plenty of time outside to play off lead but no sustained jogging or running.
