the wagon full of puppies is precious.

[Stormin_24]

Aww, what a great breed.... Gotta luv the Malamutes, these are gorgeous... Are all those pups yourS?? WOW... I absolutely love the Nordic breed.. We have a Siberian Husky...

[deci]

Love these pics.... Love the breed:)
We have a lady in our town who sled races a team and quite often takes one or two for a walk in the town centre, you got to laugh as the the majority in the crowd, who know zilch about dogs, cross the road, turn around, go into a shop.... anything to avoid these 'Wolves on a leash':rolleyes:

[smallpotatoes]

Love the wagon shot! I've posted a couple of these already, but since this thread is dedicated to Mals, I'm going to post them again! These are my Mal Harley.

Wow! Spooky. This is the only shot I have online of my Mal- Harley- he died about 6 months ago :-(

Pretty similar, name and all.

I'm so sorry about your Harley. He did look a lot like mine.

The wagon full of puppies is adorable!

I don't own a Malamute, but I love the looks of them-- simply gorgeous :D. I really love the ones with the black markings on the mask and body.

[S.Horton]

Couple more. Keep 'em coming!

The Husky thread gave me the idea to start one on Mals.

;):cool:

Odds are, if you did conformance on the east coast, we shared some grooming space; tons of Huskys around!

Well, I'm happy you did... This great breed should not go unnoticed.. To know them, is to love them... Sibes too...lol - :D

You can tell how happy they are with you.. The look on that face with your wife holding he/she says it all....

[ebondanes]

Some very nice pics here. I have to ask -- what is "conformance"? I have shown Danes in conformation for almost 20 years, but have never heard of conformance.

[S.Horton]

^^ Ah, right, fixed, thx.

Back to our regularly scheduled photo sharing.

Here's a few shots of my housemate's Malamute, Meshuggah... maybe I should have posted these in the performing arts section...? :P

He's about 9 months old, weighs around 90lbs and is quite, quite stupid! :)

[S.Horton]

^^ Very nice composition.

[Zipline]

Very cute dogs everyone! I do have a question though. I don't mean for this to sound rude, it's an honest question. What's the difference between a Husky and an Alaskan Malamute? They look almost identical as far as I can tell. Were they bred / raised for different purposes?

[S.Horton]

Size, weight, bone structure.

I think Malamutes were bred for hauling heavy loads over distance, and Huskies for speed.

...but don't quote me....

[woollyback]

Some fantastic shots here of my second favourite breed ( I am lucky enough to be owned by 2 Akita's).

Hope my daughter doesn't see this!!!

[bbowen0109]

Koti was a Gaint Wakon Malamute and weighed 157 pounds when she past away from cancer in Setember of 2007.

[willblackwell]

Greta thread. Love the pics. We have 2 Mals. A 103 pound red/white male and a 70 pound black/white female. We do a lot of weight pulls and holiday parades.

My new gear comes next week. I think the dogs will be the first shots. I'll post pics then.

Meanwhile, here's an older one of Meeka. Not real good, I know. Blaze is in the background. http://www.amcw.org/scamp/photos/meeka-snow.jpg

Sam - you are correct. Mals carry heavy loads, Sibes carry lighter loads over longer distances.

Zipline - this link is a comparison of the breeds on our club's website (I am the webmaster). http://www.amcw.org/comparison.html. From there, click Home and you can find more info on the breed, and some (older) pictures on the photos page. I need to get those updated. With the new gear coming next week, I now have an excuse.

[willblackwell]

Finally I got a chance to get a couple of pics of the dogs. These were taken this weekend.

1) Meeka on the left, Blaze on the right.

I've searched for a similar husky thread and was unable to find it. Can you post a link?

[wrphhi]

Thank you very much. Perhaps we need to start a new Sibe thread in this forum. I just searched this forum, not figuring it would be anywhere else.

[Yola]

:D WOW ! Looking at all these pics and growing up with Samoyd's this is a beautiful breed .
Looking through this pet forum ... I want a hobby farm .:D

Does anyone have 15,000 acrers and a billion or two ?:rolleyes:

I have noticed that most Mal's have blue eyes/ gray too is this prodominant ? I love all the photos !!

[SteveG]

On the contrary, Yola, a pedigree Malamute will always have brown eyes. If you see a Mal with blue eyes it most likely has a little Husky blood in it somewhere along the line:)

[Yola]

Awesome Minnesota DOG !

Steve G .. What a beautiful painted breed . I didnt know they had proment brown eyes , thats really something .

Thank-you for your info.

Hey , SteveG I live in Minnesota a land of 10,000 lakes , do you like in the land of 10,000 sheep ? Wool sweaters from England are beautiful and warm , however , I am Partial too royal doulton ... hope I made you smile ..Happy Holidays !

Our guy Roscoe, about a year right now. Onw with his favorite basket ball and another of him doing his "look in the bathroom window" trick. Basically he is a wood chipper with a tail...he will eat anything it seems. He is making good progress on our lawn furniture.

[S.Horton]

With ours, if you give them soup bones, they'll prefer them over furniture.

It doesn't stop our dogs from eating dirt <?> though......

The wagon pic is priceless. These are great dogs. I had one once, his name was Kopo. Very nice pics all.

Cookie, who just passed away too young from Lyme induced Kidney failure. Have your dogs tested often, because there were no symptoms until it was too late.

Hey all, just wanted to say great shots and thanks for sharing photo's of your beautiful dogs!

Cookie, who just passed away too young from Lyme induced Kidney failure. Have your dogs tested often, because there were no symptoms until it was too late.

Sorry about your loss, having suffered the expected loss of my golden retriever in January, I know its hard.

[S.Horton]

Thx. We've lost two in < 1 year. One to an immune disorder, then the other from Lyme.

Both too young.

We're down to 2 mals, a Keeshond, and a pair of cats.

I looked at your flikr - Is that puppy a red?

[Northern_wanderer]

I looked at your flikr - Is that puppy a red?

She was when I brought her home at ten weeks, but her coat has darkened up a lot over the last month. She only has a few red highlights remaining and even those are fading fast as her adult coat grows in.

Oh well, She's still a beautiful pup. :)
