@khswild lead sled dogs are not trained into be coming a lead dog they are just the natural personalities of the dogs and intelligence/body structures also play a key role

lead dogs show signs of Lead dogs show signs of being leaders from puppyhood. They are usually very curious and spunky. As they get older, they show that they like to be in charge and can learn the commands very quickly. malamutes are usually wheel dogs and make very well wheel dogs they too play a vital role.

@TheMsstorms Thanks, I AM aware of what makes a lead dog a lead dog. It is based mostly on personality and working drive, yes. Neither of mine have what it takes to be a lead a team. And though it's not common, there ARE particular lines of malamutes that do make excellent lead dogs.
