Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| This is HILARIOUS: How to tell a Malamute from a Husky By Doug L For the ever-shedding pack
Shelters often cannot tell the difference between a Husky and a Malamute. The general public is worse. Malamutes are generally larger but it may be a big Husky, a small Malamute, or a mix of the two. If you see a Northern breed dog or have adopted one from a shelter, this simple quiz can help differentiate between these two very distinct breeds.
Note the position of the ears: A. The ears are almost vertical to hear mice under the snow. B. The ears point out like radar dishes to hear grocery bags.
The eye color is: A. Blue. Or brown. Or both. Or yellow and blue in one eye. Sometimes I swear they switch places. B. Brown, definitely. Maybe blue. What are you, a show judge or something?
The proper term for the dog is: A. Siberian Husky B. Alaskan Malamute C. My snooky wuggums
Is that a squirrel? A. Squirrel? Come on guys, let's get it! B. Smmh mmbl?*gulp* What squirrel?
Have you been digging? A. Yes, I am terraforming your planet. B. Yes, at the bottom of the steps is a pit deep enough you can't see out of it.
You introduce a new dog food and: A. Bleh. I'll hold out for chicken. For days. B.*Whoosh* More, please? And that chicken defrosting in the fridge? Gone.
Intelligence test: cover kibble with a cloth and let the dog figure it out. A. Grab the cloth. Give it a kill shake. Vacuum up the kibble. B. Whine. Sniff. Whine. Ah, the heck with this. Pounce on the cloth with both paws. Tear a hole through it. Vacuum up the kibble.
How does the dog wake you up? A. Jumps on the bed and sits on your head. B. Jumps on the bed and sits on your gut, crushing the air out of you.
When people see the dog they say: A. Ooh, is that a wolf? B. Ooh, is that a wolf?
The pack starts yodeling at 3 am and sounds like A. A-ooo. Yii-ooo! B. Rooo Wooo!
The dog is built: A. Like an eco-friendly pickup truck, very light on gas. Goes anywhere and can haul quite a bit. B. Like a Unimog truck and sucks up fuel like one. Goes anywhere, hauls huge loads, and drags you through the brush.
When the dog sheds: A. You brush and vacuum for days and still have hairy tumbleweeds bigger than rabbits. B. See A.
You left her alone in the car for only a minute and she: A. Shredded the passenger seat, half the dash, and chewed off the gear shift knob. A. Ate the passenger seat and threw it up on the driver seat.
When you feed the dogs, you A. Put the bowls in one room and they scramble for their own bowl. B. Put the bowls in separate rooms and close the doors.
The dog flosses his teeth by: A. Shredding furniture. B. Shredding house siding.
When your dog meets other dogs, she thinks: A. They might be new playmates. I wonder if they like chicken? B. They might steal my dinner. I wonder what they taste like?
Is the dog is trustworthy around human infants? A. Totally. They howl together. B. Absolutely. They sleep snuggled up to each other.
Northern dogs are escape artists. On several occasions the dog: A. Dug under the fence, jumped over the fence, or pried open a hole just large enough to slip through. B. Chewed through a fence post until he could push down the gate.
Of course your dog counter-surfs. A. She jumps onto the counter and walks the length, sampling everything. B. She puts her front paws on the counter, licks all the garbage from the sink, and carries a 10 lb sack of potatoes back to her crate.
Every dog should go to obedience class. Your dog, however: A. Ignored you through the whole thing, made you look like a fool by aceing the exam, and promptly went back to ignoring you. B. Gave the "hairy eyeball" to every Rottweiler and Doberman in the class but was nervous around the Chihuahuas.
You turn vegan and decide your dog should join you. You toss vegetables to the dog. He reacts: A. Snap! Spit! That is*not* food. B. Snap! What the hell did I just eat?
When a friend comes over, the dog reacts: A. Hi there! Just one pat, thank you. You are dismissed. A. Hi there! Got any food? Ooh, I love to slobber faces. Got any food?
Siberians and Malamutes are not the best at recall. The dog runs off and: A. Two hours later you get a call from the local police. When you arrive, the dog is smiling from the back of the cruiser and the top of their white car is covered with muddy paw prints. B. Two hours later she scares the hell out of you by sneaking up from behind and barking.
The proper number of Huskies or Malamutes is: A. 2 B. 3 or 4 C. Every Christmas you send a bottle of bourbon to the local animal control officer.
Answer key:
If you answered A to most questions, you probably have a Siberian Husky. You have been distracted for 10 minutes. Check to see your dog has not escaped with the car.
If you answered B to most questions, you probably have an Alaskan Malamute and your dinner was stolen while reading this quiz.
If you answered C to the last question, you are owned by Siberians or Malamutes. This is normal. You do not need professional help, regardless what your relatives say. |

| I laughed out loud at this. Charlie and I passed up a 140lb Malamute this morning and his owner said some of this stuff. They are not as pick or fuel efficient. I still want one but my wife will not have it. |

| This is funny, but Appa sure doesn't fit the standard malamute bill. Barely eats (3cups of food in the past 48hrs), and is SUPER picky. We don't cater to it, it's just treats we let him be picky about. Speaking of, I have a whole container of Grandma Lucy's meatballs he won't eat...
Silly boy. Whenever we get another it's probably going to be startling to have a "real" Mal. |
