Did you know?
The Alaskan Malamute, one of the oldest Arctic sled dogs, was named after the native Innuit tribe called Mahlemuts, who settled along the shores of Kotzebue Sound in the upper western part of Alaska. The Mahlemuts are believed to have developed the breed to pull sleds and as a pack animal.
The Alaskan Malamute is the native Alaskan Arctic breed, cousin to the Samoyed of Russia, Siberian Husky (Kolyma River Region), and the Eskimo dogs of Greenland and Labrador.
The Alaskan Malamute was recognized for AKC registration in 1935.
The Malamute is a true pack animal with the natural instinct to "lead or be led"; therefore, training must begin as early as three to five months of age.
So you want to own an Alaskan Malamute?
Originally bred to be a freighting dog, this breed's strength is second to none. Alaskan Malamutes are athletic dogs who love the outdoors, but can also thrive as house pets.
Alaskan Malamutes are patient with children, but should always be supervised during play.
