Do Malamutes shed their coats during the summer?
The males normally shed once a year, but not necessarily in the summer. They shed as required. If they shed in the Winter months they will be back in full coat much quicker than if they shed in the Summer months. Females normally have a light shed twice a year and is before, during or after their heat cycles. Females will shed to the skin after whelping a litter of puppies..
