by Michael Stonewood (Author)

The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of domestic dog that is very similar in appearance to other artic breeds, such as the Greenland dog, the Siberian Husky and the Samoyed. As the name suggests, the Alaskan Malamute originates from Alaska. The breed was originally developed to be capable of surviving in cold weathers and to have the strength and endurance to be able to pull heavy freights and sleds. Traditionally, the Alaskan Malamute was also used for hunting purposes and were more than capable of hunting larger prey, such as bears. The Alaskan Malamute was also kept as a domestic dog due to their loving and loyal temperament. The breed has a double coat, similar to a Siberian Husky. The undercoat has an oily texture and is normally about two inches thick. The outer coat is shorter, coarser and stands off the body. The breeds coat allows it to excel in cold climates and snowy conditions due to its, almost, waterproof oily undercoat. The breeds coats come in various shades of gray, white, and black. However red based colors and solid white coats are not uncommon.
