About The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of domestic dog originally bred for use as an Alaskan sled dog and is often mistaken for a Siberian Husky.

The malamute has a plume like tail that is well furred and hangs just over the back like a "plume". This is the standard written in the breed book. Corkscrew tails can now be seen but is not the breed description . A corkscrew tail is what you would see in the Akita. The malamutes' tails, well-furred, aid in keeping them warm when they curl up in the snow . They wrap the tail around their nose and face which helps protect them against harsh weather like blowing snow.

Though superficially similar to wolves, there are several physical differences. When compared to a similarly sized wolf, the malamute's head is not as wide, shorter, and generally smaller. Their necks are generally the same size, though the malamute is bigger in the chest by a few inches. The malamute stands two inches shorter, is three inches shorter in the leg, and eight inches shorter in the body. The wolf's tail is longer and has no tendency to curl over its back as the malamute's can. The wolf's track is nearly twice as large as that of the Malamute.

The majority of Malamutes are also fairly quiet dogs, seldom barking like most other dog breeds. When it does vocalize, more often than not they tend to "talk" by vocalizing a "woo woo" sound (the characteristic vocalizations of Chewbacca in the Star Wars films are based upon a Malamute named Indiana once owned by George Lucas. They may howl like wolves or coyotes, and for the same reasons. When they howl, the howl is difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish from the wolf.

Snowing???? Now??? It just seems fall to me but looking at the calendar I notice its half November, too early winter now:(
Tell me about your special clothes, are against the cold, specially made? I would say a sky jacket and trousers would do as well? More nosy about the farinfrared you talking about, please show me some examples if possible?
If you can spot me a white bear I would be delighted..lolll Be careful though!
Be wel and warm, hugs Jen

Oh Jen, he is sooo beautiful. He looks like he is just basking in the sunlight and enjoying it. My late Jake was part Husky with maybe Shepherd and possibly Wolf (several people and vets said he was part wolf)... he was the best dog I ever had. I miss him so much, but he is still with me in spirit for sure! Your "about" is also wonderful. Looking forward to seeing some shots with your new Canon and lenses :) Best wishes to you - Brigitte 7/7

He looks very superior, with his nose in the air like that. A very elegant portrait.

No Bond movie we went to, it was sold out as it was just starting here, so now you have to tell me next week how its like:)
We went to another one with lots of sentiment and great views of New Zealand, might not be in your cinema, called Bright Flight, after a book!
This Malamute is indeed a sweety, they are so great and cute, no he wasnt really sleeping, kept
us in his almost closed eyes:)) Would love to see a good shot of Sam, this one I cannot hold with two hands, its too strong....lolll
Sleep well my dear, I have to go too,
big sleeping hugs, Jenxx
