Thick, coarse guard coat protecting a dense, wooly undercoat.
Colors are light grey through intermediate shadings to black.
Mask or cap-like markings on the head. A Malamute is the mascot of the University of Washington Athletic Program . Amy's Malamute Page is a neat, personal site where visitors can see tons of photos of her Mals participating in a wide variety of activities. What I found additionally surprising, was the very limited amount of internal rescue information provided at the site. While it is contrary to standard DI practice to include sites with advertisements of this nature, I have made the exception to include this site, because they are the AKC US parent club and there was sufficient, local, educational information to warrant inclusion.
