Alaskan Malamutes
Originally developed by the Mahlemut tribe in Alaska, Alaskan Malamute is a breed created for heavy freight hauling and hunting Arctic mammals. With a strong characteristic of endurance, it was very much essential in sledding and in protection from polar bears. Alaskan Malamute is generally abundant in North America and is gaining mainstream popularity as a family dog because of its affectionate temperament. They are friendly with children and can be amiable to other pets, but early sociability training is quite beneficial. The most distinctive attribute is the thick layer of double coat that allows it to endure extreme, coldish temperatures. Jovial and loyal, they make great companions but require a great deal of exercise.
