The Alusky is a mixed breed dog that is a cross between the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky breeds. They are known for their energetic, playful, and loyal temperament. Aluskies are larger dogs, weighing between 60 and 100 pounds. They are great with children and other pets, and make excellent watchdogs due to their protective nature.
Aluskies require a high-quality protein-rich diet to prevent obesity and joint issues later in life. They also need regular rigorous exercise, including active playtime.
Training Aluskies is fairly easy due to their intelligence and easy temperament. However, they can be a little stubborn, so a firm, consistent approach is best. Socialization should begin at an early age to ensure they are comfortable around people and other animals.
If you're interested in adopting an Alusky, it's important to note that they are not eligible to join the American Kennel Club's roster of purebreds due to their designer status. However, both parents are members of the AKC.
