    Malamute

    A lot of people we meet, they ask if our dog is a malamute. We say, "we think he's a husky". Do any of you think there's a possibility of him being a malamute? Even our obedience instructor thought he was a malamute at first. I will show pics if needed. Thanks.

    after searching through your previous threads for a picture I can say there is no way your dog is a malamute[:)] if it is the same pooch as in the picture with the blue eyes that is....
     
    Malamutes unlike sibes do not have blue eyes hope this helps you out

    However, I have heard of malamutes with blue eyes before, just it's not a desireable trait in shows.

    they are a rare exception though, generally though its the sibes with the blue
     
    personally I think yours is sibe not mal

    Well he's pretty tall for a sibe, in the malamute height range, he was weighed a couple of months ago. He weighed 62. But he did get a bit taller since then, so i'd expect his weight has also.

    I would have to say after looking at a couple of your photo's you dog is not nor does it have Malamute in it.
     
    I would say you have an Alaskan Husky. These are huskies crossed with hounds ie: greyhounds done for speed for faster dogs when racing. This is where you may get the height from.
     
    Malamutes do not have blue eyes, any "Malamute" with blue eyes is not pure and if linage was investigated you would probably find a cross breed more then likely with a husky.

    Yep, I second that.  There is no such thing as a blue-eyed malamute, they do not carry the gene.  I'm assuming you're talking about the dog in the photo off to the left?  Those markings are also inconsistent with a malamute...he appears to be husky/collie from that picture.

    Hello i am new to the website but i must say a couple of things. that is a husky not a malamute. i agree with the others there. secondly yey! malamute owners.
     
    i have a 9 month old male Alaskan Malamute and his name is Jumanji but we call him JJ. He is lovely. i will try and post a picture of him here at a later date.
     
    I want to ask you all some questions if thats okay.
     
    My mal has seperation anxiety. He doesnt like it when he cannot be with me all the time. We live in a flat and well he howls the place down when no one is there. i have tried and still trying all the methods on regualar websites. we have just started giving him free run of the house and he seems to not howl but i am worried that he may start to get to the stage of wanting to distroy thing. Please help me
