About the Alaskan Malamute

The Alaskan Malamute is one of the oldest and most powerful sled dog breeds, developed by the Mahlemut Inuit people of northwestern Alaska to haul heavy loads across vast, frozen landscapes. Unlike the faster Siberian Husky, the Malamute was bred for strength and endurance rather than speed, pulling heavy sleds loaded with supplies over long distances in some of the harshest conditions on earth.
