Malamutes shed heavily twice a year, and the hair falls out in large clumps. At that time, frequent brushing with a slicker brush and/or undercoat rake helps keep the flurry of hair under control.
Is a Malamute a good family dog?
Malamutes also make great family pets and are good with children. Their large size and high energy means that they can overpower small children though, so they're best for households with kids over the age of 5.
Is there a difference between Alaskan Malamute and giant Alaskan Malamute?
The Giant Alaskan Malamute is not a separate breed, but rather an oversized version of the standard Alaskan Malamute. They have been selectively bred for the biggest puppies possible, and in fact, many purist breeders criticize the practice because they want to preserve the breed standard.
How do I stop my Malamute from shedding?
Brushing: Daily brushing is perhaps the simplest and most effective way to reduce shedding of all. Not only does this remove the loose fur before it falls off of him, but it can help spread his coat oils which promotes a healthier coat. And a slicker brush (or pin brush) along with an undercoat rake work well.
How much does a giant Alaskan Malamute cost?
Depending on the breeder, the dog's color, size, and gender, Giant Malamutes can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000, and they can get as expensive as $6,500! If you find a cheaper pup, consider it as a red flag. Giant Alaskan Malamutes aren't very common, which is another reason why their price can go that high.
