Dexter has a new friend - a Malamute that we met in the park for the second time today. His name is Harry and what I wanted to ask is, are his looks 'typical'? He has blue eyes (I read that the breed standard specifies dark eyes?) and he is huge. He's 11 months old and bigger than the GSDs in the park, he has much longer legs. His colour is white and silver/grey. Have to say that this Malamute is one of THE most stunning dogs I have ever seen, anywhere (apart from Dexter of course) He was really playful and he and Dexter had great fun together. The Malamute was off leash - is their recall generally better than Huskies? Thanks for any info, both in answer to this post and also in terms of info on Malamutes. I will try and get some pictures of Dex and Harry next time they are playing - they made a most handsome pair
I always thought Mals had brown eyes also. You sure it wasnt a Huskamute ? as our huskamute Diesel is larger than a GSD. Sounds a loverly boy tho
Your dog is stunning! And yes - the dog we met today did look like your lad... I spoke to the owner and he seemed very definite that his dog was a Malamute, but as I didn't get a chance to ask which breeder/rescue he got him from, I guess it's possible he's a Huskamute! Thanks for the picture, gorgeous!
I am thinking Mal x too, simply because of the blue eyes xx Glad you had such a great time and I hope you do meet up again and the dogs can have a play and we hopefully get to see some pics xxxxx Diesel is gorgeous xxxxx More pics please!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks WEREWOLF! The dogs were gorgeous together - at one point they were literally standing nose to nose, staring into each other's eyes... Then they both went down into a mock bow, and started racing each other, then chasing. For Dexter it was a dream come true - he's bigger and bouncier than virtually every other dog in the park so to find this lovely, playful Malamute/Malamute X was fab. I will DEFINITELY take pics next time, am just hoping we meet them again, hopefully we will as the owner said they are regulars at this park
I agree, definatley not a Pure Malamute, mals only have hazel/brown eyes and are disqualified as a crossbreed if they have any other colour, still a lovely looking dog though
Sounds a lovely dog but agree with others. Definately not a full mal. Maybe a crossbreed like my boy Jacub (sibe x mal) Jacub is bi-eyed Take care. Seoniad.
Thanks WW Hope the furkids are doing ok. Haven't seen any pics for a while (hint, hint ) Give them a hug from me please. Take good care. Seoniad.
