I have owned, bred and showed Alaskan Malamutes in Australia since 1986. I believe I have had the opportunity to own and read most of the best titles of this breed. A.M. Yesterday & Today is in my opinion the ' cream of any publication ' written about Malamutes. I recommend it to all my puppy buyers....Delecrouix Kennels...Australia.

Here it is all in one place: history, care, selection, and activities of Alaskan Malamutes. The breed history not only includes information on founding kennels and influential dogs but also the expeditions on which they were a part of. It doesn't try to sugar coat "the good, the bad and the ugly" of these expeditions. Want to show your Mal? There's a great chapter on this as well, including show grooming information that's valuable to any northern breed owner. The illustrations and photos are excellent, and includes some in color. A must-have for the serious Malamute fancier! Bravo! This is a book I've been waiting for!

I have been a malamute lover since childhood, when my dad got us one from a rescue group. Once I had a home appropriate for a dog, I searched for Mamalute breeders, and when I found one in the area I selected a malamute puppy for my family. :) The breeder turned out to be the daughter of Barbara Brooks (Author of this book). She followed this book's principles closely in her Breeding program. The results are amazing. My girl Mal from this breeder is wonderful. She is smart, strong, heathy, and of great temperment. She gave us this book with the puppy, and it has been of great value in caring for our new familly member. Its advice on everything from training, to care to breed tendencies and deep understanding of the breed are so helpful. We will be taking our malamute up Mt. Washington as a pack dog using this book as our guide to perpare for the trip.

The Alaskan Malaumute: Yesterday and Today is a "must have" for the library of the true Alaskan Malamute dog owner. If you are just an admirer of the Malaumute, a companion pet owner or a devotee with decades of Alaskan Malamute experience this is THE book for you. Chook full of Malamute history, lure, knowledge, hard earned experience, written in an easy to understand format.

This book tells it straight about the butchest dog there is. You can't say fairer than that.

I wish a bought this book before I got my first Malamute. It's got everything about the breed. As a malamute owner, it's one of the best books I've ever bought. I would even bet it's the most comprehensive book ever written on ANY dog breed!

The Alaskan Malamute Yesterday And Today is a hardcover compendium of virtually everything there is to know about the Alaskan Malamute breed of dog. From the history of this celebrated canine, to in-depth instructions and recommendations for the selection, care, training, and grooming of one's own Malamute, to pedigree and bloodline information concerning the formation of the breed, extensive information to be weighed when contemplating breeding Malamutes, and much more, The Alaskan Malamute Yesterday And Today is valuable as a breeder resource, a pet owner's reference, and a true dog lover's treasury. A profusion of lack-and-white photographs throughout illustrate this comprehensive and highly recommended guide to a hardy and enduring species of man's best friend.

This is the new standard for Malamute books, well written, informative, with information that covers pet owners, historians, and serious breeders.

We bought this book shortly after it first came out and from that point forward we have purchased copies for anyone who has gotten one of our puppies. We feel strongly that along with our mentoring new owners, this book provides a resource for them to understand their dog. Bobbie Brooks has done an outstanding service to our breed with this book!

You will find all you need to know about this fantastic breed from grooming, showing, training, and of course the origin. I recommend it to everyone who loves mals like me!! (greetings from Malta Europe)
