User added info
They have wedge-shaped ears, dark nose, dark almond shaped eyes, and a thick furred tail may remind you of the appearance of a wolf.
(Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute mix) The Alusky is a friendly hybrid which makes it a great family dog. They are highly energetic. A good consideration for a search and rescue dog.
Aluskies are quiet but they are very outgoing and loving to people especially to children. They are very laid back and extremely good with other dogs and cats. They can be stubborn, and may become destructive when left alone. They like to chew when bored. They are loyal and they love to run and interact with their owners. It's a good idea to start socializing them with humans and other dogs from birth to make sure they have a pleasant disposition. They are loyal and their character is a mix between the Husky and Malamute. Further research into those breeds will help explain possible mixes of temperament.
The history of the Alusky is not known, but they were bred as a working dog, hunting in cold climates and sled pulling. The Malamute parent contributes to this dogs tendency towards being on the stubborn side. The other parent, the Siberian Husky dates back to 19th century Siberia.
Most coats require little to no maintenance. They shed twice a year like the Siberian Huskie and the Alaskan Malamute. If an Aluskie lives inside, seasonal brushing is recommended. No other grooming is truly needed.
They need space to run and play. If a yard isn’t available, several leash walks a day are recommended. They are able to jump high, dig deep and fit through small spaces. They are true escape artist. A 6 foot fence is recommended.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.

Name:
Koda
Color:
Red/White
Description:
We adopted Koda from the Shelby County Humane Society in 2003 - thinking he was a Husky. However, after much growth on his part and some research, he fit the Alusky breed perfectly. He was 85lbs, with bi-color eyes, sweet temperment, a great running buddy and was an avid hole digger. Unfortunately, he got very sick in June 2011 and passed away.
This pic was taken in 2005, after a hole digging expedition. We love him & miss him very much.
