The Alaskan Malamute is a purebred dog who is sometimes confused with the Alaskan Husky or the Siberian Husky. Like her Siberian Husky cousin, she is a working breed recognized by the AKC who has become a popular family pet.
Owning an Alaskan Malamute should not be taken lightly, as she is a high maintenance dog in many respects and needs a dedicated owner who understands this. In fact, there are many Malamutes in rescue centers due to people buying them without having a good understanding of the breed.
