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 Bernedoodle
Bernedoodles are Bernese Mountain Dog–Poodle crosses, ranging from mini to large. They’re sturdy, affectionate, people‑oriented dogs with wavy or curly, low‑shedding coats needing regular grooming. Intelligent yet slow to mature, they suit active homes that avoid long periods of solitude.
