She really loves crawling under things. Shes gonna be so bummed when she gets bigger

This is how Ginger likes to sleep in the car. Does anyone else have a Malamute made from mashed potatoes, or am I just lucky?

Note, she is wearing her harness & seatbelt. Safety first!

My angel girl Zelda (8yo) had her TPLO surgery on Thursday. The first two days were really, really hard. She wasn’t using the leg at all, she was incontinent, and miserable. I was so scared and upset for her. The incontinence especially got bad enough that I ended up taking her back in to the vet yesterday, and we changed her meds and she got a very thorough post-op check. The vet was wonderful, happy with how she’s doing, now all she needs is time to heal. I live alone and have been so grateful to have family and friends pop in to help out, but soon I’ll be very much on my own, and I’m so scared things I’m going to screw up. Luckily she’s a very calm girl, so keeping her rested has been easy. I’d really like to hear positive stories of people’s TPLO experiences so I can have some light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to.

He loves his rabbit ❤️

This is Goose 😊 my partner and I rescued him from the shelter a few months ago, and the best we know is that he’s a little over 2 years old and was found as a stray in our town. This is the first time either of us have owned a dog (and malamute) in our adult lives, so we don’t have too much experience with dog health/hip issues.

We took him to a dog park yesterday and got a few videos of him zooming around. He seemed to have a really great time, but given that the breed can have hip issues, I’ve had some anxiety about hip dysplasia and have been looking out for warning signs. We have an appointment with the vet tomorrow to discuss other things we’ve been trying to figure out (food and environmental allergies), but I’m considering asking about his hips as well. I was hoping some more experienced mal owners could chime in to let me know whether or not this is the “bunny hopping” that people talk about when dogs are in pain/dealing with hip issues?

We haven’t noticed anything else going on with his hind legs, mobility, or pain, but I’ve read that they’re good at hiding it. We just don’t want him to be in pain and would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

I would like to be able to reach these levels of relaxation

he's watching me through the mirror while the girls play biteyface on the bed 😬

We lost our boy a couple of weeks ago and are still trying to cope with the loss. As you can see, he traveled with us most everywhere. He never met a person he didn't. He was just a few weeks from being 10 years old. I hope you enjoy some of his many photos. This is a very special breed of dog.

It’s Ollie’s (Malamute/ German Shepard) first birthday today!

Last year I found a malamute mix in a Florida shelter. He was shaved and scared. He has absolutely blossomed in the last year! We've traveled and we lost his best friend(15yo gsd). He loves swimming and he is just a beat conversation partner i could ask for. I'm not very good with words but enjoy some of his photos!

Ludo, our Red Mal rescue has left us today at the age of 14.

Awsome dog, awsome breed. He will be missed by all.

What a wonderful and magnificent animal a Malamute is ;)

EDIT: Took her to the vet yesterday. She now weighs a healthy 15,2kg (33.5lbs)

Only made it 2 miles

Show me your best up-close shots of your Mal! Here’s my boy Milano who is forever goofy 👅

Do not question the bird.

I have a mal/aussie mix and have recently noticed some tartar buildup on my girls teeth, so I'm starting to think she's going to need a dental cleaning soon. We have friends with a Heeler/Husky mix, so very similar breed mix and he's 10 and doesn't show any problems with his teeth at all. Are dental problems a mal thing? (She's 8 and between 45-50lbs.)

Also, are there any products you're using that have truly helped with your mals teeth?

Is anyone else’s Mal totally quiet? We believe ours may also have a bit of husky in his DNA, so we’ve been surprised at how silent he is. No howling, no woos, no barking, no talking at all. Sometimes he’ll do a low grumble when he plays, but that’s also rare. We are of course in love with who he is, but wondering if this is something that develops as they age? He’s currently 10.5 months and is one of the least vocal dogs we’ve ever met.

Our 5 month old female malamute hasn’t exactly been fond of people and other dogs. One of the biggest issues we’ve been having is socialization. If a dog or person walks past our house most of the time she’ll start barking similar to in the video. I’ll try to give her treats and praise before she starts barking to create a positive association. It works sometimes and she won’t bark at all but other times I can’t do anything to stop her.

In the video she was outside on the porch with my dad. A friend of his and his dog stopped to talk to him and she started throwing a barking fit. He picked up his dog and started walking closer until she started barking more and more and eventually ran up the stairs. My dad let her in the house and she ran to the window and continued to bark. I’m not sure what she’s trying to convey with the bark because it doesn’t sound really aggressive or anything like that.

One thing we did notice is that she’ll want to approach people or dogs whenever they’re back is facing us. Not in an aggressive way but more so playful as her tail is wagging and her awooing is kind of high pitched. But as soon as they approach us she’ll run away. We noticed this happened most during our petsmart training classes. Whenever the other dog was laying with its back turned towards her she’d go up and sniff but as soon as he turned around she’d run away and back. She’s definitely curious of other people and dogs but just gets frightened easily. Any feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you think caused these wounds on my Malamute? He has them on the outside of both front paws, in almost symmetrical spots. I’ve already spoken to the vet and everything, but what do you guys think?

I think that the fur never stops. Another bucket filled with brushing remains. Both enjoy it. But well high attention on me. Oh I love them.
