If you’re looking for a family dog and you’d like to have large dog, then check out the Alaskan Malamute. This large dog can weigh anywhere from 75 to 100 pounds. That’s huge! The Alaskan Malamute was bed in the wild outdoors of Alaska. He’s built to pull large sled loads across snow and ice. He’s a hardworking, rough and tough canine. Despite his big stature and ability to pull large loads, the Alaskan Malamute really is a gently giant with the right training and living environment. He can be a very loving dog that does well with other dogs and people. He is good with children, but because of his size he should be supervised with small children. This big guy needs a lot of room to run and play. He also needs a job as he can get bored quickly. Click to learn more or call your veterinarian Westminster, MD.
