Do any of you have experience with this bed?
My four year old Mal hates any dog bed cause it gets too hot. It looks like Big Barker comes with a cooling mattress but I’m not sure if it’s cooling enough for a malamute.
I feel terrible he sleeps on the ground and worry about his joints.
Thank you all in advance <3
He is f*ing gorgeus!
Morning Moon, he's loving the start of winter.
“Mahhmm, can you come to the living room already?” My baby is unimpressed with the fact that I’m folding laundry 😆 We have a kiddie-gate because we also have a cat so if they can’t be 100% supervised, the gate stays closed. 🐈⬛🐕🐾
Was curious if mixes Malamute’s are allowed in the group. My buddy is about half Malamute, 30% Aussie, and the rest is random! He’s a rescue from Mississippi and is about 1. As his breed traits are coming out more in his teenagehood sometimes I don’t know what is more Aussie and what is more Malamute. Thought this page would be helpful on learning more about mals. Thank you!!
So I have to go overseas for a bit and my dad will be watching my dog for between 6-12 months. That being said I’m driving her from Southern California to north Idaho. Since I won’t see her for so long I want to make a trip of it. I originally planned to do PCH, but since I’m brining her along I realized it’s not super dog friendly. I think I’ll hit some national parks. So I’m looking for any advice/tips and tricks for longer road trips, a possible route, or cool places to see that are friendly to her.
As long as he can get his upper half under he’s content.
Our setup. Wotan is 3,5 years of age and weighs in at just 37kg (smallboi). Currently, he’s pulling 3x/ week for approx. 12km. He’s showing signs of slowing down when we’re back in hour city, so I guess the length is alright for now. On the off days it’s the usual 2x /1hr. Brisk walks / some running with me in the mornings.
However his recovery is miraculous to me. He pulls in the morning and come noon, he’s zooming again.
Any advice from experienced mushers/ sledders on how to approach the topic better on my part?
Interest in chewers is modest at best. He loves tugging and catching (not retrieving 😮💨🥲), but I want some me time too😅
Thank you for taking the time 😊
This rowdy puppy phase is .... Something else 😩😪
Hi,
I've had malamutes since 2007. But none of mine have ever blown their coat to the point where the remaining fur is like it's been shaved. My latest addition I've had for a year and she's just decided to start shedding as we approach winter of course, probably as it's not that cold here.. but my partner pulled some or her bag let fur out and what remains is as if she was shaved. I was working away last year and she said this happened then too but this has never been the case and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it as normal or if there may be some sort of condition?
Cold convo!! Vet at 10.ooam
Feel a bit silly asking this out the last 3 days I’ve been proper I’ll I noticed last night my boy was behaving a bit different not wanting to play as much and went I went to bed and he didn’t follow I went make sure he was ok I found him by the front door(he hates the dark and for him to be there was out of character) I noticed his nose was a lot more moist than usual and there was like booger marks on his fur where he’s put his nose, in Scotland the temp has rapidly reduced, I’m trying to keep my house as warm as possible, any tips??
