Alaskan malamute
The Alaskan malamute has a strong and muscular body and is also one of the oldest dog breeds out there. They are smart, sensitive and playful. If you are not an experienced pet owner, it may be quite difficult for you to take care of an Alaskan malamute, because they need plenty of vigorous exercises, grooming and space. Thus, if you live in an apartment, you shouldn’t adopt one.Â
Also, this breed isn’t recommended for people who work and need to leave them alone throughout the day, because they tend to develop a destructive behavior due to separation anxiety. Of course, if you can provide them enough space for exercising and proper training and socialization, you will have a loving friend for life.Â

I rescued an Alaskan malamute at 6 weeks old. My Bull Mastiff basically raised him since I worked so many hours. Lost my Mastiff at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, due to an undiagnosed tumor behind his sternum that burst. “Scout” moped for nearly three months… as well as me. He has free reign 24/7 in the house and 1/2 acre back yard. He has eaten every rabbit, possum and squirrel in the yard. Even the wild deer won’t come on my property. I have a small cat that I adopted who is black & white and about the size of the possums Scout used to leave in the house for me. The cat hates dogs, but she has been here nearly 20 years, so I gated off part of the house for her. I don’t think Scout would hurt her, but the cat loves to harass him. Scout killed a neighbors pup who snuck into our yard. ‘devistating’ I want to find him a roommate and other than taking him to a shelter to pick his own roomie, a pup would survive here.
