Avoid strenuous exercise of Alaskan sled dogs on weekends. Exercise should be carried out every day, and it can be interrupted for a few days if necessary. Some Alaskan Malamute dogs have little activity from Monday to Friday, but their owners will take them for a lot of activities or even strenuous exercise on Saturday or Sunday. In fact, this is very bad, especially it may lead to heart, spine and ligament diseases in Alaskan sled dogs over six years old, and may also lead to joint damage. It is the best exercise to take Alaskan Malamute out for a walk and follow the pace of the owner's sneakers step by step. One is to cultivate the relationship between the owner and Alaskan Malamute, and the other is that both people and Alaskan Malamute have enough and moderate exercise. If it is a large Alaskan sled dog, it needs to take more walks, so it is more appropriate for the family to take turns to accompany it out for a walk several times a day. It is a bad way to force an Alaskan sled dog to run at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour by pulling the leash on its collar with one hand, especially when the Alaskan sled dog is over four years old, it is easy to cause heart damage.
After the prime of life, people and Alaskan sled dogs should not exercise for a long time, which will make their heartbeat and breathing very fast. When breathing and heartbeat last for several minutes or more, it is easy to cause myocardial hypoxia and systemic hypoxia. For example, a person usually walks at a speed of about six kilometers per hour, and his heartbeat will not breathe too hard. When he changes to jogging, his calorie consumption will increase by about 60%, but his cardiac muscle oxygen consumption will increase by two or three times. Therefore, for middle-aged Alaskan sled dogs and people, the only benefit of running is to increase calorie consumption in a limited time. But the purpose of exercise is not to burn calories, but to the health of blood circulation, muscles, ligaments, joints and internal organs. Therefore, it is very important to choose sports suitable for the age of Alaskan sled dogs.
Alaskan Malamute, also known as Alaskan Malamute, is one of the oldest polar Malamute. Its name comes from Malamut, an Inuit tribe of Eskimos. This tribe lives on the Kotzebue coast in western Alaska. Before Alaska became a part of American territory, this area was called Alashak or Aleska, which translated as "vast land" and was named by the Russians who discovered this area. This dog is different from other breeds in Alaska. Its limbs are strong and muscular. It is cultivated for endurance rather than speed, so its main purpose is to pull sleds. [1] Adult Alaskan dogs are quiet and elegant, and very loyal to their owners.
Alaskan Malamute is strong, muscular and thick-chested. When they stand, their heads are vertical, their eyes are alert and curious, giving people the feeling of being energetic and very proud. The head is wide, the ears are triangular, and keep upright when alert. The snout is large and the width gradually narrows from the root to the tip of the nose. The muzzle is neither long nor prominent, nor short and thick. The coat is thick and long enough to protect the soft undercoat on the inner layer. Alaskan sled dogs come in different colors, such as gray, black and white, red and brown.
