We live on 80 acres in northwest Montana, about 150 miles west of Glacier National Park.
Besides malamutes, we have an Alaskan husky named Trek, and 11 cats.

The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of freighting dogs. They stand 22"(56cm)-27"(69cm) at the shoulder and weigh 70 lbs(32kg)-115 lbs(52kg). Alaskan Malamutes are big gentle dogs, and they are often good with children, though they should never be left alone. Malamutes can be around farm animals if they are raised from puppies (6-12 weeks old). Malamutes
(or mals as they are often called ) are very intelligent and loving animals. However, they need to be under authority, as their human(s) must be dominant over them at all times.

They are independent which often manifests as stubbornness, and they require plenty of patience. Mals are easily excited and love people. They often listen, to their owner, and ignore every one else. Mals are in the working class of dogs, and need a job, as they are bored easily. They can be very destructive when bored. They need a fenced in yard, as mals love to run.
