When Molting<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\nAt the time of molting, more attention will be required. There is a difference between males and bitches at this time. Males tend to have one molt heavier than the other, whereas the bitches have two roughly equal molts. This molting has been described as being like a mattress coming unstuffed and also as resembling an exploding thistle.<\/p>\n
Raking or combing at this time is required every day or every other day to remove the dense, oily, woolly undercoat as quickly as possible to allow the new coat to come through. It is particularly important to get the dead hair out of the feathering and the tail to prevent matting. A pin or slicker brush is used, as is a medium- to fine-toothed comb, and simple hand-plucking is also effective.<\/p>\n
When the Alaskan Malamute is being shown, it is better to bathe it at least two days before a show to aIlow the coat to regain its desired texture and oiliness. Chalk is sometimes used to harshen the coat but all traces must be removed before the dog enters the ring.<\/p>\n
