    Alaskan Malamute or...Husky... or ????



    This is my friend's dog, he was only at the Family&Friend meeting for a little bit, and never got time to ask him what kind of dog he is. I think the dog is new... I can't figure out what breed exact he is. He is way too big and has way too long of fur for a Husky, and glossier, longer hair then a Malamute. I was thinking Malamute/Afgan or Husky/Afgan, but, what do you guys think?

    Could he be a King Shepherd?
    I know Mals are not accepted in that color but I don't know if they occur in that color.

    100% malamute is my vote.

    Yes red is an acceptable color, copied from the breed standard:
    Color
    The usual colors range from light gray through intermediate shadings to black, sable, and shadings of sable to red. Color combinations are acceptable in undercoats, points, and trimmings. The only solid color allowable is all white. White is always the predominant color on underbody, parts of legs, feet, and part of face markings. A white blaze on the forehead and/or collar or a spot on the nape is attractive and acceptable. The Malamute is mantled, and broken colors extending over the body or uneven splashing are undesirable.

    The face, colour, and coat (it comes like that) looks like a Malamute.
