Well, I have to disagree. As a breed type, all northern breeds have a strong prey drive. I own a purebred mal and two mal mixes. One mix is cat killer, but she plays with other dogs as long as they leave her food alone. The females don't like other female dogs, but are great with males. My purebred is a two year old male and the gentlest soul ever. He wouldn't kill a mouse, has never even chased a cat and lives in peace with 14 other dogs. My most dog aggressive dog loves my mal.

I'd wait before I adopted another dog and let Astro settle in some more, but don't write off Malamutes completely. They are great dogs for the right owners.
Like I said they are dogs or a owner who is experienced with the breed, you are Glacier. I think I might know a lil more about mals though since I have known and owned over a dozen and we bred them as well *well we didnt my grandpapents did*, they were trailer dogs and they were all fluffy and cute and cuddly as pups and adults, they think they are lap dogs, But the ones I have personally known have not been very kind towards other smaller animals.

"the reason your most agressive dog loves your mal is because it knows the male could kick its butt if challenged "
