The rugged Alaskan Malamute is a working dog, best suited to people who love the great outdoors. He plays vigorously and is most content when pulling or packing a load (sledding, ski-joring, weight pulling, backpacking), especially in cold weather. This breed should not be kept in a hot climate.

With this introduction, the idea of the Alaskan Malamute as a breed took hold. The first Malamutes are born. Left to their own devices with Walden's departure to Antarctica, the Seeleys began searching for other examples of the larger sled dogs.

A medium to large breed, the Malamute Pitbull mix is an active and affectionate dog that requires ample exercise and training from an owner who knows how to be an alpha. Alaskan Pitties usually have short, smooth coats that are low-maintenance. They also have significantly fewer health issues. 9.

The Alaskan Malamute (/ ?m?lY?mju?t /) is a large breed of dog that was originally bred for their strength and endurance to haul heavy freight as a sled dog and hound. They are similar to other arctic, husky, and spitz breeds such as the Greenland Dog, Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky, and the Samoyed.

The Alaskan Malamute is often mistaken for a Husky, but they are larger than most of the other "Spitz" type dogs and this includes the Husky. Malamutes are heavy, well-boned dogs that were originally bred by the Mahlemuts, an Inuit tribe to pull heavy sledges through the snow in some of the harshest conditions of the Artic of western Alaska.

What is a standard-sized Malamute? The AKC Alaskan Malamute Breed Standard describes the purebred Malamute as a heavy boned, well-muscled dog that "carries no excess weight" and moves with a tireless, efficient gait. The desired freighting (sledding) size is 23-25 inches at the withers (shoulders) and 75-85 lbs.
