Alaska sled dogs are one of the oldest arctic sleds. So how do we choose an Alaskan Malamute?

The Alaskan Malamute has a strong body and a thick chest (this is the basic characteristic of a sled dog, because the sled relies on this position force), and the muscles are rich. It stands with its head held high, showing great courage and vitality, and its alert eyes are full of curiosity. The head is broad. The ears are triangular and erect. The muzzle is broad, tapering from the base to the tip of the nose. The muzzle does not appear long and sharp, nor does it appear short. Double coat, the undercoat is wool-like; the top coat is thick, thick and long. There are many coat colors. Plaques on the face are a distinct feature. The face is pure white or patchy. The tail is well-haired. Curled towards the back like a waving flag.

The Alaskan Malamute is well-boned, with strong limbs, strong feet, an expanded chest, and thick shoulders to accommodate its work. The pace is steady, balanced and effortless. The Alaskan Malamute does not require the speed of a racing dog, but must have great stamina and strength. Impatience is a serious flaw.

When purchasing an Alaskan Malamute, in addition to seeing whether the body's indicators have been standardized, you should also pay attention to whether the Alaskan Malamute is impatient. Impatient temper is an intolerable ailment for this hard-working breed. At the same time, when observing the breed, you also need to look carefully at the limbs. A good Alaskan Malamute must have strong limbs. Any imperfection in either the forelegs or the hind legs will ruin an Alaskan Malamute with excellent performance.

At the same time, any defect in standing, walking or running can also make an Alaskan Malamute inferior. Therefore, when purchasing, let the dogs run around and carefully observe their limbs. It is the most important thing to do. Anyway, for such a dog, it is not too much to let them run, even if they run for a few hours without rest, it is just a piece of cake for them.

Finally, if you have passed the test mentioned above, you have to give it a hug to examine the weight of the dog's bones. .
