The Alaskan #Malamute is nowhere near as popular as the #Husky. Meanwhile, it is the Malamute that is the symbol of Alaska.
It is a very large animal, tamed by the Eskimos for work in harness.
The most unique thing about dogs, in whose blood wolf blood flows, is that they combine the beautiful, wild appearance of a dangerous animal with a good-natured disposition and devotion to their owner.
Malamutes and huskies are very similar to each other, so it is so easy to confuse. But in reality we are talking about completely different species.
The history of malamutes and huskies is very similar in many ways. Both of them originated in the harsh taiga conditions, both served for a long time to local small nations and both were intended as sled dogs. During the Gold Rush, malamutes, along with huskies, were taken out of gold mining sites and resold there to breeders.
During this period of time, there were many crosses of various species, in order to obtain a stronger and faster look. Thus, new breeds were born.
