Snow Pack Alaskan Malamutes

The Alaskan Malamute

Malamutes do NOT have blue eyes !
If you come across a malamute with blue eyes, it is a mix. Somewhere in the line, it was mixed. IF a DNA test was done and it does not show up, that just means that the mix was light and too far to be detected. 
Never one brown one blue !
Malamutes and Husky
Two separate breeds with very different personalities and qualities
Color 
Malamutes come in many different colors. 
Please be careful about breeders who advertise specific colors or rare colors. This is an advertising gimmick and not in the breeds best interest.  
THREE of the biggest lies ?
Malamutes can not be off leash
Malamutes do not get along with other dogs 
Malamutes do not get along with same sex


It truly is all in how you raise them. 
Most important about the Alaskan Malamute
This is an amazing breed. They are very healthy and hardy. They are super smart, funny and sensitive. 
They will love you with all their heart. 

Sick Dogs

I constantly hear about sick dogs on social medias!
From Cancers to Hot Spots
The simple answer is SHOTS !
Dog shots / vaccines are causing this!
Preventive drugs are causing this! 
My best advice is to keep your dog natural as possible. 
You have to decide what the risk factor is where you live. 
If you have concerns, please consider all natural solutions or treatments.

Please do your own research!
I recommend searching on duckduckgo 

Sorry, kind of hard to read

Sorry to say, Vets do not always do what is best for your pup !
I see it almost every day on social media. My dog is sick, on antibiotics over and over and not getting any better !
Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria. This is a great way to make sure you will be bringing your dog back and spending more. 
If your vet is not telling you that you need to also replace that bacteria with good bacteria at the same time AND boost their immune system at the same time, your vet is not doing their best. (Goes for humans too)
With illness, you treat, you replace good bacteria, you boost immune system. It just makes sense. If your dog gets sick, look for a holistic vet. If your dog is not sick, look for a holistic vet. 
WORMS

Puppies are born with worms, Your puppy will be wormed before leaving at least 2-3 times.  I use both STRONGID and DIATOMCEOUS EARTH. 

If you get your pup and you see worms, that means it is working. That means they are no longer inside you pup and they are being removed !

To keep your malamute healthy
and avoid going to the vet
Alaways do your own research!
If you feel the need to use one of these for walking, please use them for the purpose of training. Teach your dog then switch to a regular collar or harness. But please remember a harness to a northern breed is used to actually pull. But they are smart enough with good training to know the difference. 
Free shoulder movement verses restricted movement
