As a working dog, the malamute is one of the world’s oldest dog breeds. Their striking resemblance to their wild forbears isn’t the only wolfish trait to survive the millennia. These extraordinarily playful, intelligent animals need regular, intense exercise to thrive. Much like wolves, they need a clearly defined social role in the pack. Be firm and gentle, and the Malamute will adore you without reserve.
