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

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.

ooops forgot to reply, I also think he is 100& malamute.

I know Alaskan Malamutes, and that is one .
My parents/grandparents bred them for years.
They come in long, medium, and short coats.
All colors variations.

Looks like I need to do my homework! I've printed all the akc standards and am reading them for my jr. judging thing but I haven't gotten to mals yet.

Thank you all. Any other opinions? I really don't think he's Malamute at all, but if you guys say so

Personally I think the dog in the picture looks a lot like this dog but I do think it's a malamute not a husky as there are woolie mals also.
