Alaskan Malamute
Alaskan Malamutes (75-85 pounds) are strong, friendly, and energetic, ideal for active owners. They’re great with kids when socialized but may overwhelm toddlers due to size. High energy demands 2+ hours daily of exercise (sledding, hiking); their thick coat needs heavy brushing.
Feed 4-6 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Chicken & Rice Formula, with 26% protein for their muscular build. Avoid overfeeding to protect joints. Primarily outdoor dogs, they thrive in cold climates with space, not apartments or hot regions. Training prevents digging. Suited for outdoorsy owners with time for exercise, Malamutes aren’t for sedentary or inexperienced households.
