Alaskan Malamute阿拉斯加雪撬犬


There are 2 Alaskan Malamute, can you distinguish them?



Few days ago, I watched a movie called : 8 below.
It is based on a true story where in the 1958 event, fifteen Sakhalin Husky sled dogs were abandoned when the expedition team was unable to return to the base. When the team returned a year later, two dogs were still alive. Another seven were still chained up and dead, and six unaccounted for.
From the movie, I came across of a special dog breed: ALASKAN MALAMUTE!!!!
They look similar to Siberian Husky, but the Alaskan Malamute has a more powerful build, a more affectionate disposition, a denser and harsher coat, a plume-like tail, and slight differences in other physical characteristics such as the ears and body line. The brown eyes make them feel more approachable than the Husky.


Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky is different!

A cute Alaskan Malamute puppy~ ^^

Another 2 adorable Alaskan Malamute puppies!!
They love snow. yeah..sadly, Malaysia is not suitable for them ... :(

Alaskan Malamute is used as sled dog due to his/her endurance.

He/she looks smart and handsome~ i love Alaskan Malamute!!! muahaha~~
A typical Alaskan Malamute~

"Malamutes are, as a general rule, particularly amiable around humans and children, and in some instances friendly with smaller dogs. However, it is still a good rule of thumb to be mindful of your Malamute around smaller animals until you become acquainted with its behavior."

It seem like Momo will be in danger if I put her with Alaskan Malamute... Momo is a smaller animal.
Through I like Alaskan Malamute a lots, but Momo still is the only DOG in my heart!! haha...
