I ended up getting an Alaskan Malamute yesterday, it's a two year old female dog. She is beautiful, even bigger than my rottie, She's black with white on the tip of her tail and white on her chest. To me she looks just like a North American Timber Wolf, she's tall and filled out, somewhere around 80 pounds or so. Just watching her is cool as hell, she stands on top of the hill behind the house and watches the yard like it's her territory so stay out. Anyone have one of these dogs? This one is by far the coolest dog I've ever owned, even after having her for one day. My Rottie is cool too but he's just like any other dog I've ever owned, he's got a good personality and listens well but he tends to be a bigger baby than I expected. I'll try to snap some pictures of her by this weekend.
