Rocky this cracked me up. You don't need to take her to vet to see if her
hearing is bad LOL. I can tell you all malamutes have a condition called
"selective hearing" and everyone has wondered the same thing about their malamute at
one point or another.
TO do the "home test" for selective hearing. Make sure she is interested in
something other than you somewhere and call her name to see if she acknowledges
you. If she does praise her. If she doesn't, rustle a plastic bag while her
back is turned, or rummage in the biscuit box where she doesn't see you, or do
something subtle with a sound she associates with something good for her and
see what happens then. You will be amazed at her acuity!
I have had dogs a good 500 ft from me, called their name, and they completely
ignored me, but then took a couple small pebbles and jiggled them in a a dog
dish and they were back like a shot.
