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 Lancashire Heeler
Small, sturdy British farm dog, the Lancashire Heeler is energetic, intelligent and agile, with a compact, low-slung body and weatherproof black-and-tan or liver-and-tan coat. Affectionate yet independent, it needs regular training, mental stimulation and exercise, and remains a rare, vulnerable native breed.
