Aspen - March 2022
Hi, my name is Aspen. I am a 4-year-old purebred APRI and ACA certified Wooly Alaskan Malamute! I am a BIG handsome guy looking for a home where I can be your only pet to love and spoil! I currently still live on an acreage with my mom and dad and human family since I was born. Like I said I am a BIG guy and weigh in at 140#. I should be full grown but could still gain a few pounds, filling out (My Dad weighs 160#). I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all my vaccinations and just had my heartworm test done for the spring and my family has always given me my heartworm and flea and tick treatments. I am healthy and have no kind of health conditions. I live currently live indoors in the lower level of my house since I don’t get along with my dad. I am kennel trained and do like to be in my kennel. I prefer to be indoors when it is hot because of my breed I am double coated. I love to be outdoors when the weather is nice and love the snow. I have a huge 5 ft. tall cattle fence surrounding my back yard, so I have plenty of room to run. I love to sunbathe, and I have never attempted to escape! I do though like to dig holes this is also a known downfall of my breed! I do require to always be fenced in because I will run away, and I am small animal aggressive. I will chase, bunnies, squirrels, cats, or other dogs.
I am a very playful dog and have a great personality. I love playing with my stuffed toys although they don’t last long). When I was young, I liked to chew on things that were left out but, with age I have grown out of that. I do love chewing on deer antlers and love getting treats! My owners had me attend dog obedience when I was around two to try to get me more familiar and socialized with other dogs and people and I completed it, but it did not seem to help my socialization phobia. But I can perform basic commands like sit, shake, lay down, stay when my humans ask me to. I love to go on walks! On walks I must be always on a leash and keep my distance from other dogs that are walking. I don’t get along with my dad (8 years old 160#) anymore because my breed can be same sex aggressive. We have unfortunately had a few scuffles with each other, so we now must be separated all the time. I get along great with my mom (6 years old 120#) and love running and playing in the back yard with her. I have also been around cats my entire life, we have 3 cats now, and I tolerate them indoors, but I am also food aggressive and have attacked them when I felt my food was threatened. I have also attacked them outdoors when they have come into my fenced in yard outside.
I LOVE going for car rides and do great in the car. I get scared when I go to the vet which makes the humans nervous, so the vet does ask that I wear a muzzle when I come although I have never acted in aggression towards them. I do have two human kids I love and play with ages 10 and 15. I have so much fur, they love to brush me and keep me clean. I do shed a lot! My human mom tells people I shed twice a year for 6 months! I am okay around people I know that come to our house. I interact wonderful with my human family but can be unsure of people I don’t know. You can tell I’m cautious because of my bark and demeanor when I am met by a stranger! I am on edge and may react if someone were to come into my fenced in yard.
I feel I would do better being the only pet in my family! I think my negative attributes would change if I left my pack and felt more comfortable on my own without my mom and dad. I really am a great dog who would make someone very happy and love them very much. I do need an owner who understands and appreciates the personality traits my breed has and will not take advantage of them. I will not be able to make my new family happy if they do not understand my traits and do not have the patience and knowledge to tolerate me and my personality.
Thank You for taking the time to read about me! If you think I may be a good fit with you, please reach out to my human family - Marck Dudrey – Motordoctormbd@gmail.com. I am located NE of Cedar Rapids, IA.
