What is Alaskan Malamute?

Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of a dog that was developed on Alaska and in Arctic areas of Canada. High and strong, Malamute was bred for its endurance in the towing of the sled in harsh weather. Malamutes have variable coats of gray, black and tanned, but always have a characteristic facial mask of lighter fur, which contrasts with the surrounding darker fur. Malamutes make good pets, but have a lot of energy and require exercises. While the dog is usually friendly with children and other dogs, its high level of energy can cause Alašský Malamute to be demanding on training. They are known for their muscle bodies, deep chests and wide faces. Their somewhat rough outer coat is often mixed and can contain sandy colors, gray or black and their coats often have white marks. Adults weigh an average of £ 85 (39 kg), but can weigh up to £ 120 (54kg). Other features include brown eyes, an upright head of the head and a solid tail, which usually holds over the back when the dog stands.

Malamutes take their name from the Inuit tribe from Western Alaska called Mahlemuts. The breed was probably already well developed when Europeans first established contact with this and other indigenous Alaskan tribes. Soon explorers always associated Mahlemuts with their dogs and admired people and their distinctive breed. Rather than to be kept at speed, malamute for transport was developed and thus inherited a large amount of natural energy and perseverance. Today they are still best maintained in colder climate.
