The draft horse of the Arctic, the Alaskan Malamute was developed by the Inuit Indians of Alaska to haul heavy loads at steady speeds over long distances.

Built for strength and endurance and the ability to survive harsh Arctic temperatures, the Malamute may appear “wolfish” but competent historic research indicates the Inuit breeders kept their dogs free from any wolf genes.

His attitude of interest, cMalamutes were bred to pull sleds and if not given sufficient exercise to satisfy its abundant needs, or if given insufficient attention and companionship, they will become bored and destructive.

A devoted family dog and friendly with all humans, the Malamute is generally a poor guard dog. Independence and stubbornness are two of the traits of the Malamute and these, coupled with his immense strength, necessitate the Malamute receiving obedience training and discipline from the early age of 3 months.

Lack of confident, firm human domination can ruin an otherwise wonderful Malamute making it domineering over humans and unmanageably aggressive toward other dogs.

The National Dog of Japan, the Akita Inu is an immensely powerful and imposing animal with a massive chest and head, suggestive of a bear. Majestic in appearance, the Akita inspires immediate respect.

Dignified, aloof and with a fearless temperament the Akita is a no nonsense protector of family and home and must be supervised with visitors and visiting children

The most outstanding physical characteristics of the Akita are the uniquely positioned ears, rather small, erect and triangular, set to the side of the head and slanting forward, and the tail carried curled over the back.

The coat is coarse, harsh and dense and the Akita moults two or three times a year during which time owners may find it difficult to have him inside the house.

The colours of the Akita coat are brilliant and clear and markings are clearly defined.

The Akita must receive socialisation and training from a very early age if he is to make a satisfactory family pet. Training requires patience and understanding as the Akita Inu will not be forced to obey.

The Akita Inu is not the dog for everyone. Akitas tend to be aggressive with other dogs.
