- Appearance
The Alaskan Malamute, one of the oldest Arctic sled dogs, is a powerful and
substantially built dog with a deep chest and strong, well-muscled body. The
Malamute stands well over the pads, and this stance gives the appearance of
much activity and a proud carriage, with head erect and eyes alert showing
interest and curiosity. The head is broad. Ears are triangular and erect when
alerted. The muzzle is bulky, only slight diminishing in width from root to
nose. The muzzle is not pointed or long, yet not stubby. The coat is thick
with a coarse guard coat of sufficient length to protect a woolly undercoat.
Malamutes are of various colors. Face markings are a distinguishing feature.
These consist of a cap over the head, the face either all white or marked with
a bar and/or mask. The tail is well furred, carried over the back, and has the
appearance of a waving plume.
