Alaskan Malamute (Kennel Club Dog Breed)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
An undeniably impressive Artic 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 recognized 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 book is an excellent introduction to the Alaskan Malamute, including a look at the breed's fascinating origins, special traits and characteristics. The book discusses the breed standard and offers advice on selecting a well-bred puppy, raising the puppy, housebreaking and obedience lessons, grooming and much more.
Newcomers and experienced fanciers will welcome this excellent new resource on the breed and regard it as a valuable addition to their breed library.
