malamutes
Alaskan sled dogs
Malamutes are large, powerful sled dogs bred by the Mahlemut Inuit people of Alaska.
Built for hauling heavy loads over long distances rather than speed, they have thick double coats, erect ears, and plumed tails curving over their backs.
Our malamute loves the snow but struggles in summer heat.
Often confused with Siberian huskies, malamutes are larger and more heavily boned.
