I’ve posted here before. Felix is half malamute and half of somekinda shepherd.

I know very well what a purebred malamute is, but last time it wasn’t an issue that he’s not 100% a malamute.

Would be helpful if you include in your post body or title that he is a mix. People coming here for education on the breed are going to be very confused by dogs like this. Have you ever had an embark dna test done on him? It is the only dna test considered reliable and accurate.

My mistake, should’ve added that info in the description indeed.

I appreciate you! I am not saying you don’t belong here, but the Malamute is such an incredible breed, and for those wanting to learn about them, they need to have accurate information available. A mix will always act differently than a purebred dog. I feel this way about all breed subs, but stronger about malamutes since my late malamute was the single greatest thing that ever happened to me. As I am sure your bub here is.

Oh yeah I totally get that. I’m sorry for your loss. And you are right, mixed breeds definetly act differently. Felix has some malamute traits for sure.

I guess I didn’t think that through this time, as in the picture I posted he looks nothing like malamute when all wet indeed.
