Yes, heavily. The Royal Kennel Club says the Malamute sheds and needs grooming every day, and Dogs Trust says the thick, fluffy double coat needs daily brushing to keep shedding under control, plus professional grooming.

More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. It suggests a large house with a large garden and says the breed suits the country rather than town. Dogs Trust says Malamutes are typically high-energy and need daily walks, play and enrichment.

Mainly size and job. The Royal Kennel Club calls the Malamute the strongest of the sled dogs, built for heavy loads, and the Siberian Husky the lightest and fastest. The Malamute breed standard prefers 39 kg for dogs, while the Husky standard gives 20 to 27 kg.

The breed standard gives preferred sizes of 64 cm at the shoulder and 39 kg for dogs, and 58 cm and 34 kg for bitches. It adds that size should not outweigh type, proportion and movement, and a standard describes the ideal, so an individual dog may be bigger or smaller.

The Royal Kennel Club suggests a large house with a large garden and marks the breed as suited to the country rather than town. Some rescue Malamutes may cope with less, but ask the rescue what this dog needs before you apply.

The Royal Kennel Club lists the lifespan as over 10 years, and Dogs Trust says typically 10 or more. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had.

We only list dogs with rescues, so there is nothing to buy here: every Malamute on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee. If you decide to buy, The Royal Kennel Club runs a Find a Puppy service, and Dogs Trust suggests talking to your vet, and says some practices offer pre-purchase consultations covering likely health conditions, rough costs, finding a responsible breeder and testing for inheritable diseases. With an adult rescue Malamute, the rescue can tell you about its personality and vet history.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 1 Alaskan Malamute listed in the UK as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Alaskan Malamute on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "alaskan malamute puppies for sale", the Alaskan Malamutes here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Yes: the only puppy listed in the UK is 12 months or under by the listed age.

Not right now: the only Alaskan Malamute listed in the UK is under 7 by its listed age. Older Alaskan Malamutes do come into rescue, so check back. Some rescues charge less for older dogs: Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over.
