  • History of the Alaskan Malamute
    History of the Alaskan Malamute by Barbara Brooks and Sherry Wallis from the book "The Alaskan Malamute ‐ Yesterday and Today" published by Alpine Books) Origins The Malamute today is a product of his historical origins. His ancestors came across the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska during the last Ice Age with the ancestors of the Inuit people who today inhabit the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. The People of the Arctic The prehistory of these Arctic natives stretches back through many millennia and is largely a reflection of their adaptations to varying climatic conditions. Because they had no written language and virtually no contact with outside historians until the 18th century, their past is an ever shifting puzzle defined by pieces provided by archeologist, linguists, paleontologists, and anthropologists. The resulting picture of pre‐Inuit de,·elopment is one of successive waves of immigration from Asia over the Bering Strait land bridge, through Arctic North America to Greenland. During long cycles over the millennia, the weather warmed and then cooled, forcing the natives to change their lifestyle as their environment changed. Continued existence depended on their ability to adapt. Their success resulted from technological developments such as harpoons and kayaks, which allowed them to expand their food base, as well as their use of dogs in a partnership for mutual survival. The ancestors of modern sled dogs, the northern‐type dog that accompanied the prelnuit​ on their travels, represent an ancient dog strain with a long history of working for man. The pre‐lnuit's migratory lifestyle varied with the seasons.

It is a small to medium- size Nordic type dog, always white, or white with biscuit cream. The American Eskimo Dog is compactly built and well balanced, with good substance, and an alert smooth gait. The face is Nordic type with erect triangular shaped ears and distinctive black points (lips. nose. and eye rims). The white double coat consists of a short, dense undercoat, with a longer guard hair growing through it forming the outer coat, which is straight with no curl or wave. The coat is thicker and longer around the neck and chest forming a lion-like ruff, which is more noticeable on dogs than on bitches. The rump and hind legs down to the hocks are also covered with thicker, longer hair forming the characteristic breeches. The richly plumed tail is carried loosely on the back. Temperament The American Eskimo Dog is intelligent, alert, and friendly, although slightly conservative.
