Unlikely since it's not a Marmalute.

Looks like a cross breed, Collie (like Lassie) with a German Shepherd.

WHY?!?! WHY MUST THEY DO IT?!?!


Why the hell do they take a shit and then eat it? Jesus christ. Also, this dog's shit stinks, and I mean stinks, I opened the back door briefly and it seemed to waft in in seconds and fill the entire house. AND IT WAS OUTSIDE!!


Now whenever you see a loving dog owner having their face licked by their dog, you'll laugh.

Or retch.

Not all dogs do it, still at least they take a crap outside and not indoors in a tray like a cat.

Only because the owners have been too lazy to install a catflap

Update; The dogs that live near my parents aren't AMs either, they are some cross breed, their name eludes my Father but is something along the lines Inuit?

Inuit sled dogs? they've got really slanty eyes so its doubtful

The three Northern Inuits that are around here look like this...



The ears seem larger than Oakey's dog, and the hair shorter, but at first glance they did look similar.

I tried saying this a while ago, it seems to fall on deaf ears. I do think it's a Malamute/Collie cross though because of the markings.

You're right. It's definitely not a pedigree Malamute, my brother had two of them (one recently died), but it does look like it's a collie/Malamute cross

Funny quote about malamutes from wiki "While they may bark like other dog breeds, Malamutes normally tend to "talk" by vocalizing a "woo woo" sound (the characteristic vocalizations of Chewbacca in the Star Wars films are based upon a Malamute named Indiana, once owned by George Lucas)." you have your very own wookie


this is true. One of my brother's dogs (Mal) can bark (we think because he spent a lot of time with other dogs when he was a puppy), but both of them used to greet you with a "wooooooo hooooooooooo" when you walked in the door. Mal also smiles which is a bit disconcerting if you don't know the 9 stone dog with inch long fangs isn't preparing to rip your head off and eat it!

Lassie (Collie dog) markings, very similar with the eyes/head and long muzzle.


Then add some German Shepherd for the shorter hair, eyes and physique.

The fur, ears and shape are definitely Malamute-like. It's only the snout that's wrong. It doesn't really look German Shepherd-ish to me. My ex-husband and I had a German Shepherd when we first got together.
