71) Alaskan Malamute

The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of dog that was originally bred for hauling heavy loads over long distances in the Arctic regions of Alaska. They are known for their strength, endurance, and stamina, and have a thick, fluffy coat that helps to insulate them against the cold. Alaskan Malamutes come in a variety of colors including white, black, red, and grey, and are known for their distinctive facial markings and plumed tail. They are generally friendly and affectionate, but can be strong-willed and may require firm training. Alaskan Malamutes have a lifespan of 12-15 years and require regular exercise to maintain their muscular build.
