Alaskan Malamute Overview

Alaskan Malamute mixes tend to be large, powerful and energetic dogs that do best in sizable spaces allowing them to roam freely and burn off their energy. Although Alaskan Malamute mixes can have multiple lineages, most carry the traditional traits of the dominate Alaskan Malamute including their traditional thick coats of fur that are known to keep them warm in colder environments much like Alaska, where they originated from. Most Alaskan Malamute mixes are suitable for families with children and willingly embrace the playfulness and rough housing nature of younger children. You can learn more about your Alaskan Malamute Mix’s exact lineage through a DNA test to better understand their characteristics, temperaments, and overall health.

Alaskan Malamute Health Issues & Life Expectancy

Knowing the lineage of all of the breeds in the Alaskan Malamute Mix is very helpful when determining any health concerns. Most mixed breed dogs have a better chance of having less health concerns because of their genetic diversity. However, some health concerns that could be common based off of the breed’s Alaskan Malamute lineage can include:

  •   Hip Dysplasia
  •   Cataracts
  •   Skin Problems
  •   Eye Problems
  • Hemophilia A and/or B
  • Chondrodysplasia

Provide your dog with lots of outdoor exercise to keep him healthy, calm, and centered, but watch for heat exhaustion in warm weather. Keep current on shots and vaccinations, and schedule regular appointments with your dog’s veterinarian. 

Alaskan Malamute Coat Attributes & Care

The coats of Alaskan Malamute Mixes can vary in color, but almost always have a thick fur coat that require daily grooming. Frequently trimming the hair around their paws is also recommended to avoid matting and build-up of bacteria that can quickly become painful to them when walking.

  • Thick & full coats
  • Frequent Grooming Required

They shed twice a year heavily, or “blow” their coat, shedding large amounts of fur. The dog will require thorough brush-outs each day during this time. 

Although some owners who live in warmer climates are tempted to shave the coat, this is not recommended. The double coat keeps the dog cooler, and shaved dogs are more susceptible to heat strokes.
