What is the origin of Alaskan Malamute?

Alaskan sled dog (details) is one of the oldest sledges. Its name comes from Mara Mytho, an Inuit tribe of Eskimos. This tribe lives on the Kotzebue coast in western Alaska. Before Alaska became a part of American territory, this area was called "Alashak" or "Aleska" (meaning vast land), which was named by the Russians who discovered this area. The natives had lived in Alaska long before these Russian sailors arrived here. When the Russians were sailing in the Bering Strait, they were blown to this land in northern Siberia by the storm. When the sailors returned to Russia, they told people the story of dogs pulling sledges in Alaska.

The origin of Alaskan aborigines and their sled dogs has not yet been determined. We only know that they have lived in Alaska for many years, but we don't know where they come from, just as we don't know where other Arctic natives come from.

Writers who study the formation of the Arctic Circle are knowledgeable, and their views on the origin of the Arctic Circle aborigines are also inconsistent. Some people think that there was a land connection between Asia and Alaska during the ice age, and there was also a land connection between Greenland and Labrador Peninsula. Others claim that these people are from countries in Hudson Bay. Greenlanders originated from Norwegians and Alaskans from Asians. It all happened a long time ago. What we know today is that we found dogs in the Arctic Circle. Today, we call the sled dogs in the Arctic Circle Alaskan sled dogs.

Mahlemuts tribe is a typical Inuit. Inuit people are recorded in the translated manuscripts of Russian explorers, and in the records of British people visiting Alaska coast. Inuit means "human" in Olarian. It is said that the sled dog came here on a dog sled the day before. They transported mail north along the banks where white people lived. When Russians killed whales and lived in the Arctic Circle, these Malaya people also acted as messengers for them. These Mala Mytho people are good-looking and taller than their cousins in Greenland. They are very hardworking, good at hunting and fishing, can make sledges, and are bred into hardworking sled dogs. These dogs will be taken good care of by their owners after a long run.

These Mala Mytho people, now spelled "Malamute", come from an old word "mahlemut" (mahlemut is the name of a tribe in Inuit, which means "village" in Olarian dialect. ) Mala Mytho people are a highly developed nation. They live a peaceful and happy life, work hard, practice monogamy and have very good dogs. Even if they are uncivilized, they know that it is important to take dogs to pull sleds. Without these sled dogs, it is impossible to migrate in any way in such a cold area. These dogs are strong and have a thick and dense double coat (the upper coat is thick and hard, and the lower coat is fluffy and close to the skin), which is called seasonal coat. The ears are upright, the thick tail swings back and forth, the soles of the feet are tough, the coat color is mostly gray, black or white, and the endurance is strong. Mala Mytho people and their dogs are highly respected by other Inuit people.

A Russian translator described the Mala Mytho people in this way, saying that they live in a vast place, which Russian sailors call the end of navigation. The author mentioned the craft of Mala Mytho people and their sledges, and admitted that the dogs and sledges of Mala Mytho people are better than those of Russians.

Facts have proved that these sled dogs in Alaska are used to pull sleds, but they have never lost their own characteristics. After the white people conquered Alaska, they began to cross the dogs in the Arctic Circle with foreign dogs. Just as they did in Greenland and Labrador, Siberia and other polar regions. Later, Alaskan dog racing became more and more popular, and many dog racers tried to cross Arctic dogs with exotic dogs. The period from 1909 to 19 18 is called "the decline period of Arctic sled dogs". Fortunately, dog sledding is very popular in America. From 1926, people began to pay attention to the development of Alaskan native purebred dogs. After studying all northern breeds of dogs, Mara Mytho Malamute still holds many race records.

Alaskan Mala Mytho sled dog is an inherent breed in Alaska, which is similar to that of Russian Samonard, Siberian Eskimo (Kolema area), Greenland and Labrador Peninsula Eskimo.

The American Kennel Club registered Alaskan dogs at 1935. People who love winter sports keep them as pets and use them to pull sleds. This kind of dog is very popular with people, especially children.
