He is very much a "talker" and maintains everyone is entitled to his opinion. He does however submit when he sees that you are serious so that was essential to knowing we could train him.

Ok well where to start with our experiences, first off our Husky / Malamute male Hurcules transitioned from squat to lift between 8 - 12 month same with our Siberian Male Zues ( Hurc's daddy ). Zues is coming on 3 and still has some of the puppy side left on occasion, he's very playful. Hurc is coming on 2 and is still very much a puppy yet. If your boy is Malamute dominate in his breed he can reach over 75 lbs full grown.

That kinda confirms what I was already thinking, my guess is he is somewhere between 12-16 months old.
I would also estimate he is very close to that 75 lb mark as well.

The misses has looked at several backpacks and has found the PetSmart has the best ones of the store & have xl sizes. Another idea is to get a pulling harness and hook it to an old tire to drag around.

thanks, I will check out PetSmart. I really don't want to go walking around the neighbourhood for an hour or two dragging an old tire....the neighbours already think we're kinda strange. Have a feeling the giant boom truck with the flying hot-tub clinched that.

Do a search for " everything malamute " there is a site called everything husky and there are loads of links on Malamutes.

Thanks much!
