Are Alaskan Malamutes bad asses?

[Intermission]

Anybody owned one here?

My bitch tore a pitbulls nose that attacked us in a field. It was left shaking and bleeding.

Then she just went about business afterwards and greeted the owner and wanted him to pet her. No joke.

Did not give a rats ass about that confrontation.

How fucking harsh climates did this dog breed grow up in if the supposed "fighting dog" gets traumatized, but mine doesn't give a shit.

She has also been called into dog parks by aggressive pits and walked gently to entrence and looked at me to open. I didn't.

My dad was bitten by a dog once

A dog bit him and he jammed his hand down its throat, ripped up its stomach

I heard if you hit someone in the nose with a palm strike you can shove the cartilage into the brain and kill them.

I like petting them.

My cat is not cooler than my dog.
I don't know if it's a one off or if my experience is indicative of a larger picture.

Hate cats, and hate people who love them.

Where do you live? Is being attacked in a field by a pitbull normal ? Dog parks full of aggressive pits?

Serious question

Very cool dogs and doubt they're pushover whatsoever but wouldn't consider them badasses in general.

I want to eat my cats but they won't let me

Living in a winter country,

absolute gems.
you just have to be a very active person and have a huge yards.

if not, they will absolutely destroy everything you own.

An ex had a mixed malamute and it was a wild doge . I used to take it for walks, but I would take my skateboard with me because the dog would run and pull me around the neighborhood

From my experience Malamutes/Husky’s are incredibly confident dogs. They were bred for self assurance while navigating the frozen tundra of Siberia. Plus they are an incredibly old breed that still retains the characteristics of early dogs.

Couple all of that with a Malamutes sheer size, and you have a very capable dog.

This is true. When I had cats they always slept by the heater.

My dog won't lay down in direct sun if any shade is available.

He'd prefer to sleep in the snow.

My experience is that Husky and Malamutes are quite different mentally. Malamutes can quit half way through a competition because they dont feel like it anymore. They also fight among themselves or other dogs quite a lot.

Malamutes are slower but have superior endurance to Huskies (if you can believe that).

mals also have same sex dog aggression, wheras Huskies are basically Retrievers mentally with other dogs.
