Alaskan Malamute Dog Lover Gifts

- Named after the native Innuit tribe called Mahlemuts, who settled along the shores of Kotzebue Sound in the upper-western part of Alaska.

- The Mal is one of the oldest Arctic sled dogs.

- The Malamute is the native Alaskan Arctic breed, cousin to the Samoyed of Russia, Siberian Husky, and the Eskimo dogs of Greenland and Labrador.

- The Mal was recognized for AKC registration in 1935.

- Their double coats are thick and coarse, enabling them to withstand severely cold temperatures.

- The Alaskan Malamute is not a "barker", but some of them will "talk" a great deal. Some of this will indeed sound and feel like a "conversation" and can be quite amusing. They tend to make "woo-woo" noises instead of barking or howling.

- Life-span of about 12 to 14 years.

- As the dogs of a peaceful, nomadic people, Malamutes do not guard property and virtually always extend a tail-wagging, face-licking welcome to strangers.

EDUCATION IS PREVENTION

Teach Children Dog Safety

** 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year.

** Children make up 60% of dog bite victims.

**About half of all children in the U.S. will be bitten by a dog by the 12th grade.

**Nearly 20 people die a year from dog bites in the U.S.

**Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. seeks medical care because of a dog bite.

**70% of dog bites occur when the dog is on the owner's property.

Breed-specific legislation (BSL), is any law, ordinance or policy which pertains to a specific dog breed or breeds, but does not affect any others. The term is most commonly used to refer to legal restrictions or prohibitions on the breeding and ownership of certain breeds.

BSL judges a dog by appearance, not by temperament. What ever happened to the old saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover?"
