Breed History

The Alaskan Malamute, a powerful spitz-type dog, borrows its name from an Inuit people called Mahlemuts. No one knows with certainty how the early ancestors arrived in Alaska, but over time the dogs became ideally adapted to the icy conditions. They pulled sleds, carried packs and herded caribou. Amazingly, these dogs once actually hunted polar bears.

The breed nearly disappeared because of excessive crossbreeding, but was ultimately rescued by devoted owners. Over the years, these energetic dogs have joined Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, collected racing records and become beloved pets.
