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 Old Danish Pointing Dog
The Old Danish Pointing Dog is a sturdy, medium-sized Danish gundog with a white coat and brown patches. Calm and people-oriented, it hunts steadily at close range yet relaxes well at home. Sensitive but willing to cooperate, it needs gentle training, ample exercise, and regular health checks.
