Product Description
Product Description
An undeniably impressive Arctic dog from the largest state in the Union, the Alaskan Malamute was originally bred to haul sledges across the icy tundra of Alaska for its Mahlemut keepers. Settlers in the region recognised the native sled dogs' superior working ability and prized them for their speed and racing acumen. Although few Malamutes are used as haulers or racers today, the breed still retains the strength, determination and ability to perform as a working dog of great endurance. The breed's abilities have been effectively harnessed to transform it into an exceptional pet and loyal family companion. This new book is an excellent introduction to the Alaskan Malamute, including a look at the breed's fascinating origins, special traits and characteristics. The author also discusses the breed standard and offers advice on selecting a well-bred puppy, raising the puppy, housebreaking and obedience lessons, grooming and much more. Illustrated with over 135 colour photographs, this volume includes an accurate and up-to-date chapter on canine health written by renowned veterinarian and lecturer Dr Lowell Ackerman, covering preventative care, selection of a veterinarian, vaccinations, parasite control and other vital topics. Newcomers and experienced fanciers of the Alaskan Malamute will welcome this excellent new resource on the breed and regard it as a valuable addition to their breed library.
