Expert Answer

The Alaskan Malamute is a large, loyal, active, and friendly breed that is very suited to outdoor activities. If you have enough time and energy to provide proper exercise and training, it is an easy breed to keep.

Because it is a working dog, it needs a large amount of exercise and space, with sufficient daily walks and activity preferably outdoors, such as running and playing games. In addition, it needs regular brushing, trimming, and bathing to keep its coat clean and healthy.

Finally, deworm the Malamute on a regular schedule to avoid picking up parasites during outdoor play that could affect its health.
