When someone says Alaskan Malamute, the first thing that comes to mind is the large fluffy dog breed. As its name implies, the Alaskan Malamute has its roots in the Alaskan region, specifically northwestern Alaska.
Despite its large size, the Alaskan Malamute is a high-energy dog. Originally bred as a sled dog, they also served as a great hunter and an even greater family pet. Due to extremely cold climates and ruff weather conditions, the Alaskan Malamute acquired a thick double coat with a very dense undercoat.
This is why most Alaskan Malamute mixes inherit fluffy coats that keep them warm during cold days.
Besides that, Alaskan Malamute mixes are usually well-balanced pooches because they are unique combinations of different parent breeds.
So, if you are one of those indecisive dog lovers who can’t quite tell if they want a Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute, then you’re in the right place.
Check out some of the most beautiful and mind-blowing (or should I say coat-blowing) Alaskan Malamute mixes below!
1. Akitamute

Parent breeds: Akita Inu and Alaskan Malamute
The first on our list is the Akitamute – a large Akita Inu mix that inherits a very unique personality.
Most Akitamutes inherit a thick medium-length coat. But, if there’s a long-haired Akita Inu in the mix, the Akitamute offspring might take on some of the long hair genes.
Additionally, their coats can come in many colors, including gray and white, silver, brindle, fawn, black, and white with markings.
Because of their strong will, Akitamute mix breed puppies require an experienced dog owner that won’t hesitate to show dominance.
2. Alaskan Chow
The Alaskan Chow is a medium to large dog. Depending on which parent breed it leans more towards, Alaskan Chows usually weigh from 55 to 85 pounds, but they can become larger.
Both parent dog breeds are prone to canine obesity, so that’s something to keep in mind. You can check out the Chow Chow weight chart to get a glimpse of how big a Chow mix puppy will get.
Although it looks cute and adorable most of the time, the Alaskan Chow might have an attitude and can be aloof at times.
3. Alaskan Goldenmute

Many Alaskan Goldenmutes take on the colors of their Malamute parent. But, let’s not forget to mention the beautiful Golden Retriever colors an Alaskan Goldenmute puppy can inherit.
The Alaskan Goldenmute’s double coat is medium to long, and sheds pretty heavily. That being said, this mixed breed should be bathed as often as a Golden Retriever.
4. Alaskan Leonberger
Parent breeds: Leonberger and Alaskan Malamute
This Malamute mix puppy inherits a bear-like appearance that makes paw lovers wonder “are dogs related to bears?” The Alaskan Leonberger can grow up to 130 pounds.
