Wolf Puppies Are Adorable, Then Comes the Call of the Wild
Alaskan Malamutes are apparently more closely related to wolves than domesticated dogs. I used to breed them, and while they&#x27;re beautiful animals, I wouldn&#x27;t recommend them as a pet. Unless you have a sled that needs pulling, that is. I&#x27;ve since moved on to Rottweilers and have a new found appreciation for domesticated dogs. A malamute, especially in the presence of other malamutes, will always see you as an &quot;other&quot;. Training a malamute is a battle of wills. Whereas a domesticated dog extends it&#x27;s pack to include you. It may not accept you as it&#x27;s leader at first, but the potential is there with training. I never got the impression that any malamute I&#x27;ve owned ever saw me as their leader, even after extensive training. Just my experience, though.
