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 Large Münsterländer
Medium–large, athletic German gundog with a distinctive black‑and‑white, ticked coat. Intelligent, people‑oriented and affectionate, yet independent with strong hunting and prey drive. Needs experienced, active owners, plenty of daily exercise, training and mental stimulation to stay content.
