Alaskan Malamutes shed heavily twice a year.
Their thick double coats are not suited for hot climates.
Males stand 25 inches high at the shoulder and should weigh about 85 pounds; females tend to stand 23 inches high and weigh about 75 pounds. However, it’s not unusual for a well-muscled adult to top 100 pounds. In rare instances, so-called “giant” versions top 140 pounds, but the Malamute body is not designed to carry excess weight.
