Husky's Neurotic Characteristics
Husky's 'neurotic' behavior stems from their working genes as sled dogs - they need to maintain excitement in extreme cold to complete long journeys. This characteristic manifests in home care as: sudden running (commonly called 'escape artist', once breaking free from leash may run several kilometers away), unexplained howling (especially at dawn or when alone, sound similar to wolf howl), targeted destructive behavior (prefer chewing sofa arms, door frames and other wooden furniture, as sled dogs have instinct to chew ice claws).
"Husky's destructive power stems from their abundant energy. Meeting their exercise needs is key to successful care." - Sled Dog Expert
Husky's Triple Needs
Caring for Huskies requires meeting 'triple needs': exercise needs (at least 1.5 hours high-intensity exercise daily, like bicycle-pulled running, frisbee), intelligence needs (play puzzle toys 10 minutes daily, otherwise they'll 'create games' themselves), social needs (need regular interaction with same species, otherwise may be overly enthusiastic to people). Their heat tolerance limit is about 28°C, need 24-hour air conditioning in summer, bring cooling ice pads when going out to avoid heatstroke.
Husky's gastrointestinal mucosa is thin and sensitive to food temperature (optimal temperature around 38°C). Feeding food too cold (below 20°C) can cause diarrhea, too hot (above 45°C) will damage esophagus. When changing dog food, use '7-day transition method': Days 1-2 old food 70% + new food 30%, Days 3-4 each 50%, Days 5-6 old food 30% + new food 70%, Day 7 completely switch to new food to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
Alaskan Malamute Characteristics
Alaskan Malamutes are the largest among the three sled dog fools (adult male shoulder height above 63.5cm, weight 38-50kg). Their 'gentle' personality hides 'slow warming' - wary of strangers (won't actively attack but maintain distance), loyal to owners but low obedience (training a 'sit' command may need 50+ repetitions).
Their 'destructive power' concentrates in puppy period (6-18 months old), when bite force can reach 200 pounds (about 90kg), easily crushing bones. Need to prepare Kevlar anti-bite toys when caring. Alaskan's fur is divided into outer coarse hair (waterproof) and inner down (warmth), experiences 'shedding period' in spring and autumn annually, daily shedding equivalent to a cat's weight, need pin brush + rake comb combination, at least 20 minutes each time, otherwise home will be 'fur flying everywhere'.
Samoyed's Smiling Angel
Samoyed's 'smiling angel' title comes from their naturally upturned mouth corners, but this doesn't mean they have good temper - actually Samoyeds rank in top 10 for 'stubbornness', when refusing commands will directly turn away, even turn their backside to owner. Their 'cleanliness' manifests as: won't eliminate near their bed, refuse to go out after rain (afraid of dirtying fur), lick touched areas after being petted (equivalent to 'cleaning and disinfecting').
Samoyed's exercise needs don't match their size (adult weight 20-30kg, but need same exercise time as large dogs), at least 1 hour outdoor running and jumping daily, otherwise will show 'depressive destructive behavior' (specifically chewing their own bed pads). Their white fur is easily stained, turns yellow after contact with soil, turns gray after contact with rain. Must use chamois cloth to absorb moisture after bathing, then thoroughly blow dry with hair dryer (otherwise damp areas easily breed fungi), recommend bathing no more than 2 times monthly to avoid damaging skin oil layer.
