Alaskan Malamute



The American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standard calls for a natural range of size, with a desired freighting weight of 75 to 85 pounds (34–39 kg) and a height of 23 to 26 inches (58–64 cm).Some Malamutes have been known to reach 32 inches (810 mm), and to weigh more than 160 lb (73 kg). Heavier individuals (90lbs) and dogs smaller than 75 pounds are common. There is often a marked size difference between males and females. Weights upwards of 95 pounds are occasionally seen, but this is uncommon and such dogs are produced primarily by breeders who market a 'large Malamute.' These large sizes are not in accordance with the breed's history or show standards.
These large dogs get much attention, but in fact the females on the small end of the scale are of at least equal interest. Some weigh in the low forties, and this makes them attractive to a wider range of potential owners. These smaller dogs also tend to live longer, and an age of 18 may even be possible with proper diet and care.
