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 Griffon Nivernais
The Griffon Nivernais is an ancient French, medium‑sized scenthound with a shaggy grey‑fawn coat and rustic look. Bred for boar and deer, it’s energetic outdoors yet calm and affectionate at home. Sociable with other dogs, it needs ample exercise, mental work and gentle, patient training.
