Description
Dog Breed: Alaskan Malamute (long coat). ZEUS is four years old, and 94 pounds of fluff and muscle! He is a neutered Alaskan Malamute who ♥️ loves other dogs, but has high prey drive with smaller animals. Zeus was signed over due to family illness, and with him came another fuzzy friend, a female husky, Sherry. Sherry is two years old, and we are hoping to confirm that she is spayed. She is microchipped. Both dogs love humans, and seem to be absolutely fine with other dogs. Both have high prey drive around small animals. They also are very chatty and vocal, and will call 41 another when they are separated. If you like the northern breeds, you will most definitely want to meet these two! (Zeus visited the veterinarian yesterday because of the condition of his eyes—he was diagnosed with entropian: he will need eye ointment applied three times daily until he has surgery to correct the condition.)

Overview:
The Alaskan Malamute is a powerful and ancient arctic breed, originating from the Mahlemut Inupiaq people of Alaska, where they were indispensable for hauling heavy sleds and assisting hunters. Physically, they are a large, robust spitz-type dog, easily recognizable by their thick double coat (typically grey and white, or red and white), strong build, and often striking dark almond-shaped eyes that convey an intelligent and gentle expression. Temperamentally, Malamutes are known for being affectionate, loyal, and playful with their families, but also possess an independent streak and a strong prey drive. While generally good with children when properly socialized, their size and strength necessitate supervision. They are definitely not suited for apartment living due to their high energy levels and need for ample exercise; a home with a secure yard and active owners is ideal. Regarding health, common concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and certain eye conditions. Potential owners should be prepared for their grooming needs and commitment to consistent training.
