What a hearth breaker of a fluffy huskie :) pure enjoyment
He seems extremely playful not realizing he's really a fluffy bulldozer ❤️
Bulldozer is right, I nicknamed a friends late malamute D9, from the stories they told of him of just pushing the fence boards off to take himself for a walk and just going in straight line where ever he wanted go, not around or over but through. Just made his own path, and kids loved him and he loved everyone.
My thoughts exactly. And some fluffy bulldozers are just mouthy. I could tell that he wasn’t really biting. Just mouthing for fun and love. Sadly it’s a trait that can get an inexperienced owner in trouble if it happens when little children are around.
He reminds me of a big furry Dunzz like a da I didn't do nutten. Why you mad me? I'm hungry.
@Orcus79 Orca They should use them as police dogs.
"Oh no, the villain has run into those gardens. Whatever will we do...Steve, get The Destroyer."
Out comes a malamute who smashes through fences like he's The Juggernaut, and could happily run for days. The criminal wouldn't have a hope of escape.
And once he finds the criminal, will constantly mouth without biting, so won't do any harm except to a few fence panels.
@@orcus79orca5 From what I've observed most people with this breed live by nearby open fields for running and exploring. I think they're not the best for city life, unless it's a small city where people may appreciate their friendly nature, assuming they're well trained.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog who sees grooming as an indication of playtime before
My late dog tought combing and ear cleaning to be playing 😂. He tried to softly nibble my fingers and when i was done he would roll himself around, growl playfully and do zoomies 😂😂😂
I have a poodle that loves taking baths and jumps around a all the time during the cleaning part, even though he absolutely hates the blow-dryer, haven't figured out what passes in that air filled head yet
@@nomebom7140air obviously 😂
@@nomebom7140 I hate poodles, damn ugly dogs
My shi poo dog named bubbles inter the chat. 😂
He’s not a bad dog he just needs more training. He’s an absolutely gorgeous and very smart Malamute!
He's still quite young, he just doesn't know his strength yet.
Malamutes are very impatient dogs
He doesn’t need training he’s actually really well trained for a malamute
@@ThisIsSparta300 I think that's what the comment is getting at. He's smart enough to be as good as he is now for as bad as malamutes can be. He'll only get better with time and training. Smart and hyperactive dogs are the best to train imo.
@@ThisIsSparta300oH MY GOD!?😂
"Two-year-old bit me and stole my shoe" is also the summary of my last ever babysitting gig
lol.
I feel bad for you
Sherpa and Keyush both approve of this behaviour.
And Maya, Skaya and Meeka
They sure would. I love those two
@@ingridsywak8572 Also Fredo, Tuka, Finn, etc
Did Leo ask for waffles 🧇 or chicken balls?
I love that the first comment I see here is about Sherpa and Keyush 😅
Nope, not an identity crises. Pure 100% Malamute teenager ♥️
So true.
he'll settle a bit after 3 years...ish - my mom had a red/white malamute when i was a kid. she did a lot of work with both huskies and malamutes back in the day🐾🐾🐾
Yup. 150% my dog at a groom but with more screaming....... Because rescued floof is likely malamute mixed with husky...... And is currently trying to snuggle her soggy face up to me
So much energy. I have no doubt these guys are AMAZING but I couldn’t 😵💫
@@allared9008 yup, but most really do calm down after 3-4 years of age, and if well socialized very gentle with babies and children - they're the kind of dog that will want to be with you - my mom was not energy packed back then and Autumn stopped being a crazy puppy around 3 and actually did competitive obedience. ( instead of dragging my 5'2 mom around). If you want a malamute, breeders can have low-drive puppies - and most do temperament testing so that they can match the right puppy to the right person/family. There's also the option of a rescue dog. (sorry about the rambling paragraph😅)
Hey Venessa, you should really donate all this dog hair to the MATTER OF TRUST foundation! They make mats that soak up oil spills out of human and animal hair and could always use more material :)
Just looked it up and one of the primary places that they hope to get donations of hair/fur from is salons/groomers! Thank you for sharing!!!
YES!!!
important comment
Why support a woke charity that wants to demonize real American energy???🤬
thts actually so dope!!
At 1:25 the way he try’s to give you a kiss, is just the cutest thing. My husky does this when he sees that I’m smiling or laughing, just like he did.
Spelling - tries (sorry 🙈)
@@jeandixon586who cares
"Pathetic attempt at the husky anthem"
This had me lol 🤣🤣🤣
Evelynn Vernaz I know. I had a good chuckle over that one, too.
To be fair he's not a Husky, so A for effort😂
Had me cackling 🤣
He was thinking “I see dogs that look like me sing all the time so why can’t I?”
A few seconds later he was like “Oh, I guess I can’t.”
The "SIR!?" exchange is comedy gold, his reactions were perfectly timed
Leo could be in movies. He has comedic timing down pat.
Like that baby that was a fantastic scene partner for Jason Statham in Fast and Furious F8 of the Furious.
Ok but this is exactly how we talk to dogs when we are grooming them. Like “I’m excuse me good sir what do you think you are doing”. We also give dogs middle names when they are bad. Our go to is “Michael” or “Marie”
Fun fact: nobody who has ever used the term “comedy gold” has known how to recognize it
That’s how I talk to all dogs. I’m like: “um, excuse me sir?” When I messed up and whistled at my cousin’s huge hunting dog, who proceeded to jump into my lap and stare at me. Everyone was dying but I was like: “sir, excuse me. I know I did this but cease and desist.”
There was a Alaskan Malamute by a place I worked at, he was actually bigger than the Saint Bernard in the next video, his paw was bigger than 2 of my fists put together, the dog was a size of new born elephant, EVERYONE stopped the guy walking him to ask what breed he was and if they could pet him.
That was definitely not a Malamute. They’re medium/large dogs, about 70lbs. St Bernards are a giant breed, up to 200lbs
@@HkFinn83giant malamutes are a thing, we had a full blooded giant that was turned over when the breeder suddenly passed who fluctuated between 190-195 lbs. From the few photos I saw through the years of his litter mates he wasn't the only one who turned out that massive.
@@EscapingMidnight24 every breed has larger than average individuals, but not 2-3 times bigger than the standard. I don’t believe there’s a 200lbs Malamute
@@HkFinn83there definitely is I’ve seen one that was 165 and I’m pretty sure 25 lbs more is possible
I should have phrased that differently. There are no well cared for, healthy 200lbs malamutes. Unfortunately there are a lot of very overfed obese dogs around these days. I see these poor things at the park all the time that can barely walk
"Fine, you're the toy!"
haha! I love it.
Its clear that he doesn't want to hurt her, but sometimes dogs don't realize that how they play can hurt. He's so cute and fluffy.
What a delight Leo is. His humans must adore him.
Agreed! He's so sweet :з
@@interstellarpieceofmeat And funny, too. How I wish I had the resources and the energy for a Malamute.😀
Beautiful..funny and down right adorable
What a nice doggo!
@@melindac3368 same here. I just don't have the time to devote to properly training a large dog right now.
Leo looks like he'd be simultaneously terrifying and massively entertaining to own.
And you weren't kidding about the digging...
I actually have a malamute, myself. And no, she is very much not.
@@cardemis7637 Not entertaining to own? Sad
@@Pwnzistor Oh, lol. I meant no as in she is not kidding about the digging. He is incredibly entertaining, for better or for worse XD.
I’m missing the terrifying personally 🤷♂️
@@cardemis7637 Yeah my Malamute just digged a fresh one today.
One of our neighbours got 4 (yes. *four)* of those and I can 100% attest this is just peak Malamute sillyness. They love to play with my big boi and also animate him to all sorts of shenanigans.
Yeah they are very large fans of petting you back and hugging you with their mouths, same with pitties
@@ConstantChaos1 yep, they´re also avid bank robbers apparently. They dug felt like an entire trench system in my yard. lol
“Must destroy air snake!” 😂😂😂😂
That line had me dying 🤣
Sound like my late baby. She went bonkers at the vacuum every time!
Big dog, big personality. I think he's a wonderful ball of fluff. For some odd reason my brain found his entrance into your shop funny. "It's a malamute with a boot!"
Canadian Malamute "Aboot"
@@LeavonLol. My brain did indeed attempt that accent. It was a failure as I am from West Virginia and have an Appalachian accent, but I tried.
The malamute wanders about with a boot, before the air snake bout!
I love this, watch out for the Boot 'Mute!! 😆
I thought for a second that the boot he was carrying was his "emotional support boot".
I love Malamutes. They can be extremely sweet and use their paws very expressively: when they put a paw on your shoulder it means "friend." There is something both goofy and spiritual about them.
I found they were like a low key version of a Siamese cat, just ten times the size. Loyal as hell, very friendly, strong personalities, and will sing the song of their people at any prompting.
Huskies, malamutes, Siamese and Ragdolls are dogcats and catdogs. Foxes are also similar.
When we laid on the couch and tried to ignore out mute, she rake that paw of her's across your face to get your
attention. We didn't get mad, but it sure did hurt..
@@blackjacktrialI think you’re mistaken on what’s the actual “cat” of the dog world. That title belongs to the Shiba Inu, they clean themselves like a cat and even play like one
Aww the face licks through the mesh cover was so sweet
As an owner of 2 malamutes those cheeky paw swipes and pushes can really mark. They aren't shy at putting all their weight behind them
Yeah, they throw punches 😂😂😂
They definitely not shy about throwing paws
Oh yeah, my malamute, even when he was a really old could throw a punch.😅 funny thing is, though he never did it out of anger. I could always tell he did it like if he was annoyed, and it was supposed to be a nice warning rather than biting, or he did it to get attention. So he was never trying to hurt someone, but he did on more than one occasion on accident.😂
@@alex_enbee3:07
Despite all the humorous resistance, I am amazed how beautifully groomed he was by the end. He probably dug into the first muddy place he could find when he got home, but still, if just for a moment, he was the most gloriously fluffy Malemute in town.
I read "despite", thought it was another of those crypto advice scams but was relieved a moment later
seeing a dog blissfully happy with a shoe always make my day
It always does.
Unless it's your shoe and it's raining.
Then I can't say how it makes me feel because it's before the watershed, so I'll say it beeping beeps most people the beep off.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human I 100% back that up. It's especially infuriating when it's the only pair of shoes you have at hand in that moment and you were just planning on going out.
It drives you beeping mad for a minute or two but you know how it is, just can't stay angry at 'em for a very long time.
You would love how my mom's dog greets guests then. He always brings toys in his mouth and the slippers my mom sacrificed to keep him happy (but doesn't actually release them lol. He's just like "Look what I got! Only look tho, no touchy!"
He acts EXACTLY like my 17 month old German Shepherd puppy. Also, when you were barking to distract him, my dog heard it and started barking himself. Lol.
We are in the same boat. My 15 month old mastiff puppy also acts just like this! We call it "bonking around."
Your dog: yeah! What she said!
he still had so much puppy energy and a wild personality. Lovely doggo!
And he will have it for at least another year or two. Large dogs take longer to get through puberty. He behaved really well considering his age, breed and the fact that he isn't used to it.
He seems to be a joy to be around
I gather from what Vanessa has said they're less of a joy for a groomer. Sad bc they're not vicious just at times physically clumsy.
I love Alaskan Malamutes, they're such characters. "Jumping Jelly Bean" definitely a fitting cologne for him lol
Those owners did a fantastic job training this dog. Malamute's are known for being very stubborn and very dominant, making them especially difficult to handle if you don't know what you're doing. Kudos to those owners, whether they hired a trainer, or trained him themselves, they still did beautifully.
It's not that deep
@@Bladieblah chill

Awe he’s such a playful boy. He really doesn’t know his strength lol ❤️❤️❤️
"Stubborn as a mule" As someone who owns an Alaskan Malamute, that's an understatement
Same for American akitas. These guys just live in their own own world man. Sometimes they listen, other times they say ''piss off man, lemme do my own thing''
Yeah that's offensive to the mule lol
@@verbon47 My first dog was a Malamute/(Japanese)Akita accident puppy. That sure was a "fun" experience in the first two years.
Thankfully she calmed down a lot and is now a sweet, energetic and totally deaf 14 year old lady.
@@emmasilver2332😂😂😂
As an Alaskan, these dogs are 1) everywhere 2) as breathtaking as you'd expect, and 3) the perfect winter companion at 40 below.
I have a cat.
I get that. I love dogs.
I have only ever had cats. I just can't be constantly dealing with how high maintainence dogs are.
And as much as I do adore these furry bulldozers, I love it even more when someone else has to feed and exercise them, and I just provide petting services.
I have several small lapdogs. They’re much more easier to take care of and are loyal as heck.
cats are more like having a roommate as apposed to having a pet.
Get a Malamute and don't feed it for a few days and that cat problem will clear right up.
@Kaedenn Is that Missingno in your profile picture?
My neighbours have a couple of these. Our house and back garden faces out onto a field and we leave the patio doors open so the cats can come and go.
Not long ago I heard a noise and went to check on the cats and a full grown one of these guys was standing in my kitchen door. Nearly had a damn heart attack from the shock 😂 they’re huge! She was lovely anyway and took her back home. They had to board up a part of the field because she kept coming back after that and scoffing cat biscuits.
I had to laugh when you addressed Leo as “Sir” when he was misbehaving.😂
I always crack up when I see my neighbour walking her malamute on the street because she is a tiny woman and his head is reaching her hips. Also, he's absolutely insane and he always tries to hug everyone who greets him. He's not so fun at night when he starts to howl, though.
Oh no sounds like you’re not so fun either 😬
@@Priasbcbeist Your remark tells us a lot about your neighborly demeanor as well.
I used to live across the street from Frankfurt Zoo. At night I had skyscrapers on one side and wolfs howling on the other...
Our's only howled when the sirens went by, luckily not too often.. she never barked..
@@jenscheibner792 I've heard a Malamute/Husky do a very creditable imitation of a UK Ambulance...
I was very ready for a fur-nado, but im glad they enjoyed the dryer in the end, despite the identity crisis 🤣🤣
Malamutes and huskies have very deep bonds with people. They have a very childlike personality and they are very human-like. They will look at you and listen to you and understand what you're saying. And many times they can predict what you're going to do before you even do it once they get to know you. They're very special dogs...
And boy do they love to talk a lot
And they also like to blast your ears and be the star of the show.
Owned a 95 lb. Male Male mute and a smaller female shepherd malemute mix. If you walked out and got in the,pickup to go get groceries they would not even get up. If you were going to take them to the beach they went crazy when you stepped out the back door.
I love it when dogs try to use their paws like hands
He's such a sweetheart! It's hard to believe that these are the descendants of wolfdogs if it wasn't for them being large.
What is a wolf dog??
@Jane Macintyre The first domesticated wolves, created by breeding wild wolves with domesticated dogs.
@@janemacintyre9801 basically dogs that have some content of wolf in their gene pool. it can be low and you basically get just a big dog, or high and you get a very tricky to train wolf
Until you have one who snatches birds from the sky, mice out of the grass and baby bunnies out of the yard 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ they have a very high prey drive and can be extremely antisocial if they are not socialized and trained correctly. I know all of this from experience and fully own up to being partly responsible for an 85 lb antisocial cranky dog who feels she needs to hunt
Theres berm some interesting genetic research that shows that alaskan malamutes are descendants of North American wolves. Which sounds like a "duh" moment but that's actually incredibly incredibly rare now. An overwhelming majority of modern dogs in America are descended from European wolves and brought over by European colonists. It'd definitely be interesting to see how recent wolf is in their breed. And if they act differently from other dogs too having a different ancestor..
When you were “distracting” Leo, my dog immediately shot up and looked around for another dog. I’d say your mastered the dog language to a tee! 😂
Same with my 2 dogs!
My family had a malamute from when I was 2 years old until I was in high school, she was the best digger ever. She used to dig into our chicken enclosure and set the chickens free and when we were raising chicks she would dig into their covered enclosure and herd them into a group then cuddle with them.
Well hidden in Leo's genes, is the fact that he's a 100% pure goober :D
That dog is definitely a Keyush watcher. He knows paw-fu!
Leo is a mountain of well-behaved fluff, good to see a gentle big boi! Also, his 'eyebrows' are so cute, he must be able to make as many expressions as people do!
Real behaved? he bit the girl on her arm. I hope she got it treated.
@@sarahduhay5150 He didn't break skin. He's mouthy, and definitely was a bit tougher than he should have been, but did not break skin.
This is the craziest doggo I have ever seen. I have tears in my eyes from the laughing.
The part where he licks your face had me belly laughing he is SO cute
Leo looks like a MENACE, I love him!
He's the kind of dog you can't get mad at for wrecking your stuff 😂 what a big doof, I love him!
Oh gosh this video is making me laugh and on the verge of tears. My family found a stray dog when I was like six or seven years old, he was just tired to a park bench left by God knows who. My dad found him when he took my two younger siblings to the park and despite my parents best efforts to find his owner we never did. So long story short he became our dog in for 13 years he was the best dog ever. He was a wonderful Alaskan malamute and I miss him so much and this video just reminds me so much of him❤
I've had 2 Malamutes, one was very ill-tempered toward me because of poor training on my part, and the other was the polar opposite. I learned what I needed to do to help train & condition him and he was arguably one of the best dogs I ever had the privilege of living with.
They're stubborn, energetic, playful, boastful and always ready to surprise you. They're also tough to wash and care for, the shedding is next level. I don't recommend them to 1st time Dog owners.
Lots of work, lots of play and lots of Dog, Malamutes are.
Seeing him fight and swallow the air from the air hose confirmed that belief that they are direct descendants from the wolf dog because my half wolf half caucasian shepherd use to do the exact same thing to the water hose! And she would also growl/ talk with a "fluff off" too! 🤣
This cutie reminds me so much of my wolf. I miss her so much! Thank you for sharing this vid.🥰
Half wolf/half Caucasian shepherd? 😳 Jesus... that is a hell of a mix. Were you riding her into battle?
@@OngoGablogian185 🤣 Actually, when I was about 8 or 9 years old, I did get the idea to try to sit on her. She simply sat down and I almost slid off and bust my face. That was the strangest yet most clever k9 of all time. I highly recommend getting a breed as close to an original wolf link or even a half wolf dog if possible!
The only downside is people will try to steal them. Some areas banned them. And they will always have a part of them that will display wild wolf traits. Usually it will catch you off guard when they do, so this is why some areas banned them. But they are extremely incredible k9s.
@@TheAuthenticIsOutThere That is awesome🤣. I hope anyone stupid enough to try and steal someone's pet will try it with that breed and get what they deserve! I've always owned mastiffs, so my soul is bonded to that breed now, but I've always wanted a Caucasian Shepherd.
@@OngoGablogian185 😂😂
@@OngoGablogian185 "ONWARD MY FAITHFUL STEED!"
*woof?*
For some reason Malamutes don't seem as big as they are until you put hands on them, then it's - his head is as big as a basketball! They also clean up so well, the beautiful coat all brushed out and shiny make them look majestic!
“Leo said fluff off.”
That one got me!!
As an owner of a 120-lbs malamute, I should say that Leo is well-behaved for his age ... and such a handsome malamute
Leo became very sassy at the end of the groom lol! What a adorable dog. They are the non singing version of huskies.
Ha, think again. Malamutes absolutely sing the song of their people and provided the sound effects for Chewbacca.
@@beckyhartley9502 well this one was a quiet one! ;)
They are also about twice the size in height and weight 😂
Sometimes I wish my malamute wasn't quite so vocal...it's embarrassing losing an argument to a dog in public. Still it entertains others and makes them smile so all is good really.
@@proffessorX hahhahhahahhah XDD
It was really clear that he wasn't biting, but nibbling and that it was just playful. But sometimes they forget how big they are, and how we aren't dogs, and nibbling can hurt.
I can't count how many times I watched this video and I never get sick and tired to see how Leo interacted with Vanessa. They make me smile.
Me too 👍😀
The big dogs don't realize how strong they are.
Cutest buddies ever!!!
Stubborn giant cuties!🥰
Omg, he's bigger than you.
"Sir!" Had me. As did the trying to dig into the solid grooming table lol
To quote Agnes from Despicable Me, "He's so fluffy, I wanna DIE!!"
Your voice is absolutely amazing, together with your humour, love for these animals and your mere talents as a groomer makes you my favorite CZcamsr and fellow human who love animals. I love the camera man as well! Golden duo.
Oh my GOD what a BABY
This wonderful guy made me even more sure that that's the perfect breed for me
When I'm grooming the dogs at work, I literally say "excuse me sir/ma'am" more than half the time lol!
I literally died of laughter when he started digging at the drying place! what an adorable doggo🤍🤍🤍
My brother lives in Alaska and has a malamute. The dog knows the command "take a bath", which is his cue to go dig and roll in the snow to cool off after a run.
His fluffy paws and handsome smiles just melted our hearts 🥹❤❤ Looks like he isn't aware of how big he is! 🐾
"Woe betide the evil drier!" (Thinks it over.)
"Wait, no; I love this tiny human female." 🤣
He is what my mom would call “a very busy boy!” He is so cute and sweet.
"Jumping Jellybean cologne"
That suits his personality so much. He went full cat mode trying to attack that leash in the middle of drying. 😂
I thought the same about the cologne! 😂 that it is a perfect match 😂😂
He looked like he was having such a fluffy good time.
Malamutes are so fluffy.
This dog has perfect comedy timing!
My mixed breed boy dug himself a snow bed last year and i couldn't believe how content he was. He has all the same mannerisms and i am now convinced he may be part malamute.
You go the extra mile when you take time to learn the background of the dogs you groom. You also do a good job grooming them. Wish you lived closer to my golden doodle and me.
I love all of these videos, but truthfully, I'm going to say this was my absolute favorite. Leo had me sitting here with a huge grin, laughing from beginning to end. What a personality, and what a stunning dog!
couldn't agree more!
had to watch it two times cuz how adorable he is
I think he's my favourite yet! - The sheer willpower it must take for you to finish jobs like Leo! Two minutes into him being goofy, I'd of given up and just started playing with him!
I can always count on this channel to make me smile.
He didn't bite for hurting, for sure, because he wasn't angry with you...he only wanted to play and being goofy so he fights the blow dryer. A stunning hansome dog by the way.
It's that weird sun they get up in Alaska, does things to the doggo genetics.
That's what the Chihuahuas told me, anyway.
Ok don't listen to them. They were bitching about our newfoundland.
Leo was a real character. Between swinging at u with his paw and his mood changes I found him entertaining. I'm sure you were tired after grooming him.
Glad he was only "play" biting, what a unit!
Dear Ms. Girl with several dogs; You are a Darling and a true comidienne! Thank You for lightening up our pet owning lives! 😎
From what I've seen (some mixed with Husky) these are incredibly affectionate, good natured dogs but by design they do need a lot of exercise. These breeds need humans that enjoy communicating via verbal discourse and have a sense of humor. They are hilarious.
i don't know why but really they are so funny 😂
A friend has a husky malamute mix called Leelou, and she is insane. They had adult cats who pretty much adopted her as a puppy, and now she seems to think she's a cat - her favourite place to sleep is on top of the dining table.
Her owner is mad too though, so it works out :)
But yeah, lots of exercise neccessary. Also, high fences cuz those dogs can climb like you wouldn't believe. And ear plugs if you want to be able to get a full night sleep, unless you can sleep through the husky national anthem.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human what a hand full :D still i'm playing with the thought to may own one someday..
@@youtubischill1303 If you (or anyone else) seriously consider getting a malamute, for the sake of your own sanity read everything about the breed first, and I mean everything, and be sure you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. People always advise that only experienced owners should get Malamutes but how do you get experience without owning one ?
I used to have a lot of GSD's and they were very easy to train, however Malamutes need both physical and mental stimulation every single day or they will get bored and start destroying your garden/house or start to be deliberately naughty just to get an interaction with you (like a quick dig in your side then they run away, come back then nip you in the side in hope that you get up and chase them). Definitely not for people who lack motivation in any way shape or form.
With all of that being said the payoff is worth all of the blood, sweat and tears you will shed whilst trying to get them to do stuff, they are extremely intelligent dogs who only do things if they want to. BUT they do pick up training very easily and then get bored with it - so keep training mixed up as much as you can, also do not set routines as when a certain time for something comes near they will harrass you until you have done what it is they are expecting!
There is so much more I could write about them but you would honestly be better off reading up on them from vets/specialist pages to get a fuller picture.
@@proffessorX Wow that was very informative! Thank you for taking your time and giving me this information. I'm a very fit and young person so I think I could give this beautiful soul what it needs and also challenge it a bit of course... but well.. i'm gonna think through it a bit more now :D !
I have developed a new respect for pet groomers. Seeing what you have to go through sometimes and how truly exhausting it can be. I admire you and your patience!
"Grabby feets" was my Mal Kodiak's favorite game on earth. That and dancing with me and singing along to Queen songs. He'd get incredibly excited whenever the opening of "You're my best friend" started playing because he knew it was fun time.
He'd rear up and put his front paws in my hands and I'd twirl him around and sing him the song and he'd harmonize along, especially on the chorus. "OOOOOOH YOURE MAKING ME LIVE" WOOOOWOOWOOWR
You always miss your pets, but we had a connection like few others. I miss him every day
Leo is my absolute favorite dog among the dozens of dogs I watched on your channel in a year and a half. He is soooo goofy and funny and cute 🥰🤩
You would have loved our two malamute wolf hybrids. They loved taking baths and you could do anything you wanted to their feet. I start handling any dog I gets feet, ears and face as puppies so they don’t react to them being messed with.
Leo is so gorgeous! What a great personality too! I bet his humans can’t decide to laugh or cry at his antics.😂
I’ve had many Huskies, and I think these snow breeds seem stubborn because they were bred to think more for themselves (is this good snow or bad snow?), but they are pretty trainable with a little patience. He was hilarious.
Leo and his pawing and tapping his groomer is too much! My dogs do that when they want something from me. What a big personality on this baby boy!
hes so ridiculously fluffy and look at those huge paws, i love him
I think Leo believes that charming pretty boys like him can change their mind on a whim whenever they want to. It's his world, he just allows everybody else to live in it too, because he needs entertainment and adulation.
He's not entirely wrong and I can't dislike him. What a goofball.
I lived in Alaska for 18 years: in Nome for 5 of those years. I helped one of my high school teachers train his dog team for the Iditarod. Leo's personality reminds me of Moses. He was wheel dog: the position directly in front of the sled ...the ones who need to be strong to break the sled free in case the runners freeze to the ground. My teacher ran and finished the Iditarod twice then sold his dogs...but he gave Moses to me. 🤗 Moses was only half Malamute so his size wasn't quite Leo's...but his head was enormous! He loved going on what we called walks...which were times he really just pulled me everywhere. Literally. Moses detested being stared at. His pen was outside my living room window so I'd sneak to the window while he sat looking out into the yonder with his back to me. It would only take a few seconds of focused staring before one ear would begin to twitch and rotate back. ....then the other. Then would come the shifting of front feet...then the butt. Finally, quick glance over his shoulder to very clearly tell me with his eyes he did NOT find the humor in my game. 🤨 He would try one last time to find his Zen....but if I continued to peer at him with more vigor....he would get up with a pronounced and audible HUFF ....and walk to the part of the yard I could not see him. It took until the next snowfall for me to realize Moses was a sled dog and none of us had asked him if he was ready to retire. I gave him to a friend I knew to be very attentive and caring to his team of dogs and Moses almost literally did backflips to be put back in harness! By that time we had more than a few sunset/sunrise beach or tundra walks with quiet times of just sitting and contemplating life under our belts. He was a great therapist with his wise eyes and sometimes cocking his head at some of my more difficult life issues. Moses was a great friend.
I thought I understood fur when I had a golden retriever... then I adopted a GSD/Malamute. My house is a perpetual snow globe of fur. I must say however, she is 7.5yrs old and has made zero attempts at digging holes, but she does often sleep curled in a donut with her tail over her nose and is very stubborn, lol.
I had a dog that looked just like this except he was black and beige. In the ad, he was described as a "German shepherd/collie mix". I feel like there's no way he wasn't a malamute or maybe a Finnish Lapphund. He was an amazing boy who, despite his striking good looks, hated any type of grooming and LOVED getting into loaves of bread and other baked goods. He sure loved us and we sure loved him.
we got a pit bull boxer mix puppy from a shelter but they said she was some other completely different breed. my mom ended up taking her to the vet for a check up and the vet was so startled to see a pit bull when she was told it wasnt a pit bull. best dog we ever had during the time the states were trying to kill them all for being "baby killers" cuz people were using them in dog fights. she kept her tail and ears and gaurded the house so well everyone knew not to try to break in without us in there including family. anyways cuz of the shelter obviously lying so they didnt have to put her down immediately we had paperwork that said she wasnt a pit bull so no landlord could kick us out for having her.
@@Kris-wo4pj Pitbulls rock. My family currently owns one and he is so sensitive and cuddly toward his humans and even fellow dogs. We lost our black lab mix last week and he's just as lost without him as we are. He just has such a big heart. The worst thing he does is bark a lot. It honestly frustrates me that even with as much as people try to lift the stigma against pitbulls, people choose to remain ignorant. When you are brought up in an environment where all you know is to defend yourself, of course you'll be aggressive but that's the fault of the owner and not the dog. Pitbulls are like any other dog where all they need is love and care.
I love potties but they were bred to fight - be it bulls, other dogs or wild pigs and have to be extremely tenacious and strong willed to do so
They are a working breed that need someone who will give them a job and structure who is experienced enough to train an intelligent strong willed terrier and strong enough physically to handle them should they develop reactivity
Pit aggression is generally towards dogs rather than people - Most of the time pits kill kids because with the jaw strength even a corrective bite is enough to kill a human baby, because people think they're nanny dogs and don't pay close attention to them with their child around, and because most people can't accurately read a dogs body language
Most people think so long as the tail is wagging the dog is happy and that is not the case
Pits in particular will often bite without a growl or snarl in warning - with many of them the only sign given is a slight stiffening in the body and a change in the eyes
How many pet owners do you know would notice that and act soon enough to prevent an incident?
My favorite dog breed. The shedding, crater making in the yard and the singing is awesome. I miss my Candy girl.
Very adorable baby
Don’t know how you resisted playing with that handsome boy for so long
that entrance with the boot was so freaking cute! i love him. and glad the actual bite seemed to be a bit of a mistake on his part with him being so mouthy, and didn't do much/if any damage, glad you were able to get a laugh after his antics.
Glad she never got rabies or lost her arm! Lol
Such a sweet and handsome handful. His paws were as big as your hand and yet he was playfully gentle in his own way. I absolutely love this channel.
Jumping Jellybean indeed!
I love how you use your 'customer service' voice on him.
