Alaskan Malamute

        The Alaskan Malamute is the heaviest of the sled dogs.  He is powerful, like all other sled dogs, and can pull a sled in sub-zero temperatures.  He was also named after the Mahlemuts, an Innuit tribe.  Both genders of the breeds are heavy, weighing 84- 123½ pounds.  The male is 25-28 inches tall, and the female is 23-26 inches tall.  The coat is medium, and can be colored anywhere from grey to black, gold to red and liver with white.  He is reasonably amenable, but when on a leash, he can pull a lot!
