Why do you need "guts" to own a Malamute? Klondike has been a delight to own and has been a true and loyal friend. We would own another one in a second and so would everyone who has ever been around him.

Don't let my avatar fool ya. Actually Klondike is about the most laid-back mutt on the planet. He travels great and rides just about everywhere with us. Even been to Yellowstone and Moab, UT a couple times! He's probably got 30,000 miles or more under his tail.

The avatar pic is just one of the games he likes to play. He'll push his muzzle under my chin until I start gnawing on it. Soon as I do, the teeth come out. If I stop, he flops his paw on my leg and shoves his face under my chin until I start chewing on him again. Don't know why he likes it so much, but for some unknown reason, he can't get anyone else to play!

Malamutes are the best!
I had one for 12 years and he was great, he was a 130# Wolf Sable. Great friend and even better watch dog. I miss him every day!

One thing I really like about Klondike is he rarely barks. He howls and grumbles but hardly ever barks. Only time he barks is when he sees someone outside the picture window he doesn't know, which works out great for wifey when she's home alone.

Here's a few more pics of him, including him howling.

i'm not saying they're trouble but they are big and need a lot of exercise.

Rottwelers have their reputation of being savage, but it's all up to how you raise them.

Mine can be pushed very far ti'll they snap.

My wife had a Rottie when I first met her. He was a giant knuckle-head, but far from savage. Any breed of dog can be pushed to the point of viciousness. Just some take a little less pushing than others.

Here are a couple pictures of our Rottie Zeus. We also have a Sheltie but I'll have to look for some pictures of her.

That's one good looking rottie!

Blue Heeler, is that a breed?

Is he aged or is that the way his fur is colored?

Also, we don't see these Blue Lacys here either, we've got tons of Boxers (mis-well bred though).

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

The German Shepherd (Schäfer) is also a popular breed here although mostly owned by Police Officers (don't ask me why this has become a trend).

Beagle's are always cute, wish there were more of them here to breed from.

We all know terriers, they're not children friendly in my experience though.
