Product Description

The energetic canine described in this title is best known as a team-working sled dog, but he also makes a friendly and loyal pet. This book belongs to Barron’s extensive line of Complete Pet Owner’s Manuals. Heavily illustrated with color photos and instructive line art, these books present information on housing, feeding, health care, the title animal’s traits—and where applicable, on grooming, training, and breeding. Each book is individually written by a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. The titles cover virtually all animals that are kept as pets, and include a wide selection of dog and cat breeds, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, small mammals, and even some insects and arachnids.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!, November 14, 2000
    By Judith E. Pavluvcik (Dreaming of the beach in California, but living in the reality of the desert in Arizona!!) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)      
    I am owned by a Malamute - only mine is the giant breed and I have to say that this book is EXCELLENT and right on the mark. I loved the history of the breed as well as what I can expect. Yes, they are stubborn. Yes, they are pack animals, with the family as their pack and yes they do howl! The section on whether or not this dog is right for you was great! Not everyone can be owned by a Mal - and I thank the author for that!!

    The information is precise and well researched and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. After being owned one of these gorgeous creatures, you won't want any other kind of dog!

    I have the book lying out on my table and everyone always wants to look through it.

    If you are a Mal owner - this is one great book to have!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The book every malamute owner or potential owner should have, February 13, 1999
    By A Customer
    A fantastic book filled with such good, sound information the reader wonders how they got it all into so few pages. The book tells all about the normal things like grooming, feeding, and health, but it tells you so much about the history, how to train or find the right trainer, activity needs, and breeding issues. The book also has a wonderful section on "Do you know what you're getting into?". The excellent pictures in this book alone are worth the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly complete book in a small package, March 31, 1998
    By A Customer
    I'm a prospective malamute owner, and stumbled on this book browsing Amazon. I received a surprisingly thin (less than 1/4" thick) book, and was pleasantly stunned as I came to appreciate the huge amounts of actually useful information not crammed but fitted nicely into this small package. It includes healthy doses of "are you really sure you know what you're getting into" and "for the dog's sake be honest about yourself" but manages to get the message across strongly without being preachy. My copy is already dog-eared.

    This is a pretty good book about the breed. If you're thinking about getting a Malamute, this is probably a good buy. However, there may be a better book out there...
