  • Can malamutes run as fast as other dogs such as German Shepherds and etc.

  • A Malamute is a large freighting sled dog. As such, they are not extremely fast like some lighter weight dogs. They are more like a line backer as opposed to a running back. That being said, Tonka can move out pretty good - but he wd have trouble catching a rabbit. But if he did catch it, bye bye rabbit. (grin)

  • Is that beige mess behind you Hoghlands ranch colorado???

  • If you are referring to the subdivision, yes, that is a subdivision in Highlands Ranch, CO. If you are referring to the mountains, then no, those are the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

  • now that has to be a female malamute but what a beautiful dog,i enjoyed watching the vid.I am in new zealand and i have a male malamute and a samoyed.I would love to take my malamute and samoyed to the snow

  • No, Tonka is a 110 lb Champion male.

  • there not the built for speed, so no, but endurance is where you cannot match a malamute

  • German Shepherds are in the same size class as Malamutes. So on average, GSDs and Malamutes weigh the same. Maybe because Malamutes are built like Rottweilers and GSDs like Dobermans. I was pointing out the muscle mass of Malamutes, I think that is their constraint from running as freely as GSDs.

  • nothin happyer then watch'n a dog play in the snow. your dog is so pretty, but i love all dogs. :)

  • I couldn't believe it, this is just like my own malamutes when they were turned loose in the snow on Snoqualmie Pass, just off I-90 in Washington. Wonderful !
