    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.

    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.

    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.

    This dog seems to have more of the head structure of a mal, definately not a woolie husky.
