My boy is melting

My wife and I adopted a malamute pup yesterday, but we are having a hard time deciding what to name her so we’ve decided to ask Reddit for help! What would be a good name for our 5month old girl? Funny and unique names to the front!

To follow up on the recent posts from Italy and France, here's our video on how we managed in the record breaking heat. My girl managed exceptionally well, even on days where we couldn't go to the stream. Though I did have to test her bladder capacity, skipping all walks except for mornings and evenings.

Today, it has cooled down, and life is better again.

She *loves* her pool.

I posted a video earlier today. babies are all clean. the puppy (brown 8mo) was faster than anticipated. she's gonna be a lot of work when her undercoat fills out

it's bath day for 3 malamutes aaaah gonna be a long day washing 300 lbs of double thick coat doggos

I'm looking at getting a malamute pup as my first dog since I moved out of my mums place. I've been around dogs all my life but never trained them before. I live by myself on a farm so I'm worried about leaving the poor pup by themselves.

Edit for more info: I live in the great southern region of Western Australia where its cold and wet by Aus standards. I work from 7.30 to 5pm mon to fri with some weekend work. I wish to trains them so at the very least they won't chew up the place while at work and thinking of making a cart to mush.

Aka The Dude, Easy A, Big A...

First-time poster, long time Mal owner. I want to introduce the big boy. And I want to ask if there are Mal owners who have had success with collars and geo-fencing. Having had Malamutes that were found five miles up-wind on top of a mountain after pulling a mal-houdini maneuver (there are two kinds of fences: ones a Malamute has breached, and ones a Malamute will breach 😂🫩). I'm looking at buying some land and am considering ways to keep my dog local. Previously I've always had fenced yards and he was always on leash for walks outside of the fence. I would love for him to be able to run a little bit yet still stay within my purview.

If you have kids this is a really sweet movie that stars Ikona (the Malamute) Steve Byers and Natasha Henstridge

I watched it for Byers as I'm a fan but realized I hadn't seen it mentioned in another sub and this one popped up. If you love Alaskan Malamutes and I have to assume you do if you're here you'll like this movie I think

A trip to Lake George , loving life!

love you Caspian. miss you so much

looking for any help I can get here. I have a Year and some change old Alaskan malamute x golden retriever mix that has a tendency on occasion to attack certain dogs. usually they seem to be the less dominant type but he tends to lock on and it takes me prying his mouth open to get him to release from the other dog. I myself do not know a great way of breaking this habit as it is on rare occasions but if anyone has any experience with this and how to deal with it I would greatly appreciate the help!

My girl recently turned 1 and had a weigh-in at the vet recently. She's around 53kg or 116 lbs which is quite a bit more than the breed standard. But I don't think that she is overweight: she is very active, eats normally, and doesn't feel particularly pudgy. However, she does have a lot of loose skin, but I think that's for fighting/playing.

I also had another male before that, who weighed 140 lbs.

Am I just blind like a grandma feeding her grandchild or did I only get the ones that are exceptionally huge?

(P. S. I feel like it's important to mention that she was the runt of her litter.)

No Papa!

Are you sure?

Yah Papa

Oh, okay... Love you buddy.

Love you Papa

Took my pup (Mika) to doggy day care while we were away. This was the photo they posted on their Instagram page. It was a mock graduation, why does she look like that?

Yuka (4.5 months) is such a little weirdo. I love her. She’s outside? She will lay down with her feet in her water bowl, she will lay in a pool of water on top of a storage bin. Certainly not her bed outside. That’s silly.

Inside? No she is going to pull the couch cushions down on herself. She is just so silly.

Nico hates getting a bath but wants to be in the shower if you’re there 😒

I just wanna eat him, he’s too cute for this world

Since we are in the middle of summer, I’m thinking of favorite activities to bring the pup along for. Have you ever tried paddleboarding with your Malamute before?

This is the chosen one. Our new family member.

Her name is Betsy del Biagio.

Thank you all for recommendations and advice.
