Alaskan Malamute

[{"selector":"#anim-ba8be78d-374c-43f3-b9ff-c22468d1594e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-285180ee-d365-4eac-8880-0a658f730efb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a44bf57b-2041-4f17-b139-ca43fe198946","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1231daa1-8eb2-4217-a49b-2434d9839549","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] The Malamute is much larger and stockier than the Husky, and they have a thicker coat, too.

The German Shepherd and Alaskan Malamute both are present in this breed's ancestry.

Alaskan Klee Kai

[{"selector":"#anim-074e7ab6-037d-4880-a810-c61b5bd6a3f4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5170c810-4877-49ca-825f-5cae1cfe76ff","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1653a476-8316-4d3e-8db4-52e2630db6da","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9280f654-0973-441c-aded-f28152ad8c5c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Klee Kais are very similar in appearance to Alaskan sledding breeds like Huskies but have much more manageable exercise requirements.
