Here are a few things you might not have known about the official dog of the Last Frontier!
#1 5,000 years ago the first settlers of North America kept Alaskan malamutes as their companions and as work dogs.
#2 Some relatives of the Alaskan Malamute are the Samoyed, the Siberian Husky and even the Labrador.
#3 They need daily exercise (they are sled dogs, after all).
#4 They don’t bark much, but they are vocal and love to stretch their vocal chords and howl sometimes.
#5 They’re built to withstand cold temperatures and were historically used in Arctic expeditions.
