My best friend forever 🥹

my 140lb boyo is scared of everything (including my cats that he could eat whole)

she reeeeally wants to help

Hi! I've had my gal for some months now and people always ask whether she is a husky...

She is a 2,5 year old purebred malamute, ca 25 kg. Bringing her up +4 kg, focusing on also building muscle is a goal as she is a bit skinny.

I am wondering how she fits the breed standard. Both proportions in body and head. Personally I think she is very malamute in her face, but she is a bit too narrow at her chest and her ears are 'too big'.

Also, this is all summer coat - she has no undercoat now. It fascinates me how well adapted she is to the summer, as I don't think I've seen any malamute with this short/thin summer coat.

She is a sweet, clever girl and I am considering showing her for the experience (also participating in other breed specific tests, backpack and pulk pulling).

Hi! I'd love some advice about malamute games. My partner and I work from home full time, which is great for our mal Dora. The problem is she doesn't play unless we play with her, and that's not possible during working hours.

We walk her and take her to the park during our breaks. We also got her an interactive treat dispenser puzzle ball, but she only plays with it for a few minutes before getting bored.

We're looking for interactive games, puzzles, or anything else she can do on her own during the hours when we need to focus and be on calls. Any recommendations?

I'm like a little kid excited for Christmas, working my way through the "Puppy Start Right" book, to ensure we give her the best possible start.

Meanwhile we can just enjoy the pictures ❤️

Have a great day!

Her name is Kirby and she is very cute and even more naughty

When we finish a jar of peanut butter, Brick finds great joy in being presented the prize of cleaning the remnants.
We make him peanut butter and pureed pumpkin “pupsicles” and he’s a great helper during the process lol.

He is growing into a lovely boy and his personality is really shining through. He has been a joy in our lives and look forward to many more adventures. We just love our boy.

FYI he’s a cucumber addict and eats them right off the vine if I do t pay attention 🤷🏻‍♂️

We adopted a malamute pup yesterday and my wife and I are having issues deciding on a name for our 5 month old girl. So going to let the internet do what it does best! We have decided to let Reddit give her a name! At this point we will take any suggestions so please have some fun with it! We will post an update once we’ve decided on the name!

My pup had some stomach issues and we had to give him some special wet food and now he doesnt want to eat his normal dry dog food.. we've been told to give him the food and if he doesnt eat it after 15-20 minutes, that we should take it away..but he is super stubborn and he isnt eating (he is hungry cause he looks at our food and goes begging for us to give him, he just wont eat HIS food.) Is this common in the malamutes? Also, if it has happened to you, how many days has your pup gone without eating?

Here is a picture of him.

My boy is melting

To follow up on the recent posts from Italy and France, here's our video on how we managed in the record breaking heat. My girl managed exceptionally well, even on days where we couldn't go to the stream. Though I did have to test her bladder capacity, skipping all walks except for mornings and evenings.

Today, it has cooled down, and life is better again.
