Is the Malamute a dog subject to diseases?
Known for its toughness and good health, the Malamute is not immune to disease usually associated to great species: Osteochondrodysplasia: hereditary disease of rear paws (seal paws). Hips and elbows dysplasia: hereditary skeleton disease. Nyctalopia: hereditary disease of the eyes (diurnal lost of sight). Hemophilia: hereditary disease of the blood (subject to hemorrhage). These are the most common diseases, which the animal can be free of if you buy your puppy from a conscientious breeder that can prove with certificates that his line is healthy and free of these hereditary diseases.
