The tail is carried over the back, and sometimes dogs use it to keep the nose warm. The coat is an excellent protection against inhospitable arctic weather; therefore, Alaskan Malamute Dogs can withstand cold very well. The distinguishing feature which separates dogs from their wild cousins is the upturned tail. Dogs are the oldest domesticated animal. Alaskan Malamutes have a plumed tail that curls over the back in a loop shape. Their almond-shaped eyes are brown in color, and they resemble those of a wolf.

The desirable freighting sizes are males, 25 inches at the shoulders, 85 pounds; females, 23 inches at the shoulders, 75 pounds. However, size consideration should not outweigh that of type, proportion, movement and other functional attributes. A malamute female should be 23-24 inches and weigh 70-80 lbs. A male should be 25-26 inches and weigh 80-90 lbs.

This dog is NOT a racing sled dog. Any characteristic, including temperament which interfers with this purpose is considered the most serious of faults. With the discovery of gold in 1896, a flood of outsiders came to Alaska; for entertainment, they staged weight-pulling contests and races among their dogs. The native breeds were interbred with each other and those brought by settlers, often in an attempt to create a faster racer or simply to provide the vast numbers of dogs needed to supply the gold rush.

The Alaskan Malamute is also very possessive when it comes to food, and therefore feeding should be separate from other dogs or animals. Early socialization is essentials to ensure that he gets along with other animals and people. Well, Alaskan Malamute is actually descendant of wolf and that’s why he look like this beautiful wild canine. But when we will talk about Mal’s character, that’s another story.

The exact origin of the Alaskan malamute is uncertain, as is the origin of the people who came to inhabit the land now called Alaska (the Inuits). Written accounts exist of an Inuit tribe called the Mahlemut, who settled along the shores in the upper western part of Alaska, and are believed to have bred these dogs to pull sleds and as pack animals. A popular sled dog, the Alaskan malamute is known for its prey and pack instincts. Keep a vigilant eye on your malamute so that he doesn’t go after small animals.
