Alaskan Malamute
|
The Alaskan Malamute, one of the oldest Arctic sled dogs, is a powerful and
substantially built dog with a deep chest and strong, well-muscled body. The AKC breed standard calls for a natural range of size, with a
desired freighting weight of 75 to 85 pounds (34-38.5 kg) and a height
of 23 to 25 inches (58-63.5 cm). Heavier individuals (100+ pounds) and
dogs smaller than 75 pounds are common--there is often a marked size
difference between males and females. Weights upwards of 140 pounds or
more are occasionally seen; these dogs are uncommon and are produced
primarily by breeders who market a "giant" malamute. These "giant"
sizes are not in accordance with the breed's history or the AKC
standard.
