PET EXPOS &
BREED DISPLAYS:
One aim of the AMCV is to
educate Malamute owners and prospective owners about the breed
and responsible dog ownership. One means of achieving this is by
attending pet expos and conducting breed displays. Anyone who
owns, or is interested in owning, an Alaskan Malamute is
encouraged to visit our breed display and talk to some
experienced Malamute owners about the nature of the breed. The
AMCV will be hosting breed displays at several pet care expos,
including the Animal Expo, Nillumbik Pet Expo, Eastern Regional Pet Expo,
Outer Eastern Pet Expo, Dandenong Great Pet Expo and Peninsula Pet & Pony
Expo.
The AMCV conducts their annual Working
Dog Expo at the
Bannockburn Reserve early in May. The expo includes a
Sled Dog Race and Weight-Pull event and will have information and equipment
available for those interested in working their dogs - all breeds
welcome.
BACKPACKING
EVENTS:
Backpacking is an enjoyable activity anyone can do with their
Malamute. The AMCV holds several backpacking days a year. These
hikes are usually 16 km to comply with the requirements for the Working
Pack Dog title,
however anyone is welcome to join in and complete some or all of
the walk.
