The Malamute's thick, coarse guard coat sits over a dense woolly undercoat built for arctic cold, and twice a year it blows that undercoat out in clumps. A high-velocity dryer and undercoat rake are essential, working the felt that packs behind the ears, in the britches, and around the tail. Never shave this coat.
