    Malamutes and Recall?

    I've read some threads about how many Husky owners don't let their dogs off leash because recall is an issue.

    Just interested to know if the same applies to most Malamutes?

    We met a gorgeous Malamute (or possibly Malamute X) today - he was off leash but I could see this particular dog did not have a great recall, as his owner was chasing him after his dog kept returning to my dog....:)


    Thanks for any answers :)

    Some are good, mine is the most reliable recall dog I ever had, some are not .... As with any breed, if a dog does not have a reliable recall the owners should not be lettIng it off lead.

    I have 6 mals all have recall to a certain degree.The boys are better than the girls who seem to be more easily distracted.But I will only let them off lead in wide open spaces with minimal distractions and never take them all our together.
    Even with my CEDs the boys have better recall than the girls.

    Wow, six Malamutes!

    Are there any pics of your dogs on the site? Maybe I've seen them already without realising, but always keen to see more :)

    You could have the same discussion about Beagles or Afghan Hounds. Some dogs have been bred to be biddable (gundogs) some to protect (guard breeds) and some to follow a scent and not be distracted (hounds). Northern breeds have been bred to run and to ignore hardship, have they not?

    Hi...
    Depends on the doggie, and depends on training.
    My Mal Balto has excellent recall, but didn't at first. I went through 3 8-week strict professional training courses with him and really applied myself to it at home every day practicing, but it was worth it. He comes when called pretty reliably, probably because he thinks there may be something yummy in it for him when he does.
