Sled Dog - Alaskan Malamute
The Back Story:
Alaskan Malamute
Country/Date of Origin: Traced back 2,000 to 3,000 years ago to the Mahlemuits tribe of Alaska.
The largest and oldest of the Arctic sled dogs, the Alaskan Malamute possesses great strength and endurance. They’re not designed to race, but rather to carry large loads over long distances. Today, many Malamutes are family pets, but are highly athletic and still capable of enjoying sledding, weight-pulling, back-packing, and jogging with their owners.
The Malamute coat is thick and coarse, with a plumed tail carried over the back. The coat usually ranges in color from light gray to black or from sable to red.
