Does it make sense to find an Alaskan Malamute at the seaside or a long way from the frozen lands where he was born?

The time has come to deal with the problem seriously. Let's start by saying that the Malamute's coat doesn't cause him any trouble if temperatures rise: his fur has a heat-insulating function, which protects him both from the cold and the heat.

The Malamute doesn't feel the heat any more than an Alsatian dog and he is certainly less susceptible to heat stroke than a Bulldog or a Boxer, although they are shorthaired dogs.

When the skin is not exposed, the thickness of the dog’s fur doesn’t bother him; what matters most is the ability to cool down breathing air through his nasal cavity, which is long, wide and broad in a Malamute. That's why this dog is perfectly equipped to live at all latitudes.

Northern dogs can stand polar temperatures thanks to their natural defenses, but that doesn't mean they prefer or even like them!

A dog that has to live his whole life in the grip of cold can't be happier than a dog that usually enjoys mild temperatures. The latter will have a longer, healthier life, because he will more profitably use the energy that his arctic friend wastes to protect themselves from the cold.

The average life of an Eskimo Malamute used to be six-seven years; a modern city dog's is ten-twelve years, and that says a lot about the alleged "necessity" of temperatures below zero.

It's no use explaining. Those who don't know him cannot understand; but if you love the Malamute, you do understand, that's all.
