Alaskan malamute

The Alaskan Malamute is a large, strong, and hearty dog breed originally bred for pulling heavy sleds in harsh Arctic conditions. Known for their endurance, strength, and thick double coat, Alaskan Malamutes are well-suited to cold environments. They are friendly, affectionate, and social dogs, often forming strong bonds with their families. Despite their impressive size and power, they are not typically aggressive and get along well with children and other pets. However, they have an independent streak and can be stubborn, requiring consistent training and socialization. Malamutes thrive with regular exercise and enjoy outdoor activities, making them great companions for active families.
