Yes. If you own an Alaskan Malamute, you can trust them to protect you from threats. These dogs are muscular and well-built, with impressive skills to fight off predators. If you are alone with this dog breed, you should only worry about what worse Alaskan Malamute will do to the thieves! As they were initially bred for transportation and protection purposes, they have evolved to be alert and independently assess the surroundings while attacking if necessary.
