haha! i i took my pup for a walk out in the woods and she took off after a rabbit. I couldnt find her and she wouldnt come when i called. Just when i was starting to get worried i heard a little boy's voice screaming "Mommy! Look, its a wolf!!!" I ran towards the yells and sure enough, there she was. She was staring at the kid like he was a bear but the mom was pissing herself laughing cause she saw the collar.

To addicusbrown; A Husky or Malamute should "never" be shaved to keep them cool. The insulation properties of the fur help insulate them from the heat as well as the cold. As an owner of Malamutes for the past 25+ years in Sacramento Ca. I know how hot weather can affect these guys (105+ degrees on some summer days). I always kept them in the house and "they" fount the coolest spots. I would wet them down and put a fan on them. (when you keep wetting them you have to be careful of skin fungis!).

@mook2u As you know Sacramento summers can be brutal. I always kept my Malamutes in the cool house during the hottest time of the day and it was their instinct to find the coolest spot. If they had to be left outside I just made sure they had plenty of shade and cool water to drink. I also found "drip mister systems" to be helpfull. Never exercise they in the hottest part of the day and learn to recognise the signs of heat stress. Good luck with your puppy, they are a great breed of dog.

@greywolf1755 I LIVE IN NSACRAMENTO TOO!! I have a malamute puppy, and since it doesnt like heat , what should I do in the summer.  Cause the heat is considerably bad some days. For a pup should I just wet and fan him?

@mrsredneckgurl About as wise as someone who can't spell "girl", (at least mine was a typo, what's your excuse?).

[mrsredneckgurl]

@greywolf1755

Is it really wise to take advice from somebody who can't spell "fungus?"

[addicusbrown]

We shave(d) him because unlike our Siberian he never blew out his fur. What we didn't know was he had a condition called fur funk. This is when they don't blow out the fur and it will begin to grow back less and less because they only have so much hair follicles. We have to keep him shaved lower now or else he looks like he's abused. Sucks, but he looks good shaved and is very comfortable. We know for our next malamute.

@addicusbrown Shave?

That's a terrible idea for these dogs, it can lead to serious skin problems. I, too have both a Mal and a Sibe.

DO NOT SHAVE THEM!!

[jliscorpio]

We have two malamutes they LOVE to swim , we live a block from the Hudson River and they are always jumping in for a swim in a little inlet.
