With more research I am leaning towards malamutes rather then huskies.
Pros
less independent*
They seem slightly less hyper (maybe?)
More reliable with cats
I like their looks a bit more then huskies
Mushing (carting maybe?)
Intimidating (maybe? I can’t really tell with dogs)
cons
Big (worried since it would be my first puppy as well as first large dog)
Bit worried about dog aggression
Also a bad watchdog
No off leash as well
*I forgot on the husky one that I would like a dog that comes to see what I am doing
It would not be my first dog, just first puppy and dog of that size (my mother has more experience with big dogs not sure of size).My current dog is quite stubborn so I am used to that. By intimidating I mean able to put burglaries off (with my knowledge of the breed they are a bit intimidating, but I don’t know what people who don’t know much about dogs think) I am carefully with all large dogs. I understand that they can be aggressive and dominant, I am firm and confident with handling dogs. Still sounds like a bad idea?There are a LOT more cons......
Not just big but also dominant and powerful
The hair!! Oh that hair! They shed constantly....a lot. It is difficult at best to clean it all up constantly. Then they blow their coats which takes that shedding to a whole new level. They need regular brushing and during coat blow that means daily.
They are a dominant type dog. Not just meaning they don't listen. They can be dog aggressive as well as human aggressive.
Malamutes can be aloof and independent in addition to dominant and powerful. They take an experienced handler.
I do NOT recommend them as a first dog. ESPECIALLY if as stated you cannot really tell if they are intimidating.
They aren't less hyper so to speak than huskies. They are heavier so less likely to climb out of chain link enclosures like huskies do. They are bred to sled so require a LOT of exercise. Being powerful and bred to have that pulling in them walking, jogging can be a real DRAG especially if they decide to pick up the pace and chase a squirrel.
Thank you!Byb's
If we're assuming that our average burglar doesn't know anything about dogs, then a 100 pound dog that looks like a wolf that is probably barking pretty loudly would be intimidating, at least to me as the supposed burglar. I'm super comfortable with large dogs and know a lot about dog breeds, however.By intimidating I mean able to put burglaries off (with my knowledge of the breed they are a bit intimidating, but I don’t know what people who don’t know much about dogs think)
