Summary
About Alaskan Malamute
The Alaskan Malamute is a large, powerful Arctic sled dog bred by the Mahlemut Inuit to pull heavy loads. It has a dense double coat that sheds heavily, a friendly, social nature, strong prey and working drive, high exercise needs, and can be independent and challenging to train.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
