Interesting!
The rugged Alaskan Malamute is a working dog, best suited to people who love the great outdoors. He plays vigorously and is most content when pulling or packing a load (sledding, ski-joring, weight pulling, backpacking), especially in cold weather. This breed should not be kept in a hot climate.
Alaskan Malamutes are very challenging to train and live with. Without sufficient exercise and challenging things to do, Malamutes become rambunctious and bored, which they usually express by chronic howling and destructive chewing. Bored Alaskan Malamutes are famous for chewing through drywall, ripping the stuffing out of sofas, and turning your yard into a moonscape of giant craters.
Animal-aggression is a major concern. The Alaskan Malamute can be so aggressive with other dogs of the same sex that two males or two females should not be kept together. When this breed fights, the battles can be serious and bloody. Malamutes can be predatory with smaller pets -- I would not keep a Malamute with a cat unless the pair has grown up together. When outdoors, Malamutes must be securely confined behind a high fence, for they can be escape artists with strong exploratory instincts. Once loose, they won't come back when you call them and they may run deer and molest livestock.
Indeed. But though genetically suited for certain climates and/or geographic locales
genes only indicate a predisposition NOT a definite aptitude or behavior.
For example, my St Bernard bitch readily adapted to the climate in Miami.
But her mate had problems adapting to living in North Carolina ( I gave her to an Army dude)
Two alpha males should NEVER be kept together, but that's more a matter of their being
Alpha than their being males. I've owned bitches that couldn't be together.
Perhaps in your case aggressiveness is to be discouraged, especially between dogs.
In my former line of work aggressiveness was encouraged, but not between dogs.
We've had three male Malamutes and a male Rott work well together as a guard dog team
in an area known for the fences/walls being torn down so that the dogs would escape thus leaving the premises
open to thieves BUT THEY WOULD NOT LEAVE, even when tempted by a bitch in heat.
I don't question that genetic predisposition is an important variable to be considered.
But where you seem to think it's of utmost importance,
I know my ability and experience as a trainer and know a creatures genes aren't the
complete determining factor in how it will behave.
Using your logic one might say that certain human races would be incompetent to hold certain jobs
and we all know that isn't the case..
Siberian husky, malamutes and Samoyeds surely make for better sled dogs than Chihuahuas
but not if the whole team is made up of Alpha dogs, and it doesn't matter if they're all males
as long as there is one lead and one boss (their master).
Now, don't misunderstand me, Vapin'. I'm sure you know your working dogs on the farm.
On the other hand, I know dogs in general, studied psychology and behavior modification,
and have years of hands on experience training (and caring for) both pets and (police) working dogs.
I wouldn't even think of teaching you how to plant a row of sweet corn
only because I eat corn on the cob now and then.

Brenda's endoscopy/biopsy went well and is all clear, she's good for another year.
Thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes!

.......She just was walking down the hall and "moved wrong". She either pulled a muscle in her leg, of tore something. I'm hoping that she'll be OK. NOT only for her.....but I am supposed to go on a local brewery tour with flights of beer, tomorrow. If she isn't better by tomorrow, then I will have to probably take her to the ER and I'll have to postpone taking one of my good friends out for his birthday
. So far......My weekend isn't looking too good ATM.
it!
