Alaskan Malamute

---

The Alaskan Malamute is an arctic sled dog that originated in Alaska. Alaskan Malamutes are large dogs that were historically bred to haul large over great distances. They are one of the oldest dog breeds and the largest of the Arctic sled dogs. Alaskan Malamutes are not built for speed, so they are seldom used for dog sled racing. Today, they are often kept as family pets. They do not bark but rather make a "woo woo" howling-type sound. They are loyal and friendly dogs that do not make good watchdogs as they are friendly with everyone, including strangers. Here at Pretty Cool Gifts you can find a great assortment of personalized and custom gifts for Alaskan Malamute lovers including coffee cups, t-shirts, and iPhone & Galaxy cases.
