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 Spanish Mastiff
Large, powerful livestock guardian, calm and observant yet strongly protective. Quiet and laid back at home if well exercised, deeply loyal with family and usually reserved with strangers. Independent and thoughtful, it suits experienced owners with space, structure and early socialisation.
