Shaggy Dog is a big-hearted Malamute with that classic northern-breed charm. He shows many typical Malamute traits: he’s independent, expressive, strong-willed, and enjoys having a job or activity to engage his mind. Shaggy Dog thrives with structure, consistent expectations, and guardians who enjoy the personality and energy that come with this breed. Once he bonds with his people, he’s loyal, affectionate in his own Malamute way, and full of character.
