Gosh are those dogs huge. I went to petco yesterday and a guy walked in with one and he stood right near the door in the middle of the floor. I asked him what breed it was and that is what he told me. He also said the dog weighed only 130lbs well it looked like it weighed more than that maybe close to 300. There barks are loud I couldn't hear the cashier when she was talking to me as 2 dogs decided to have a barking contest (the malamute and a huskey) the malamutes bark sounds like they are trying to saw meow but its coming out mew.

I know one of the people on here has one I can't remember who though. The one i met yesterday was tan and white (was it your dog?)

If it is the same one i saw in there the dog should not be brought in the store. I was in there one night and a lady brought her giant malamute, thats the breed, in. It was out of control, she had no business bringing that dog in the store. She could not even carry anything because she had both hands on the leash to keep him from pulling her across the store. People blow my mind sometimes with their stupidy.

130 pounds is very large for a malamute. Are you sure that's what it was? Did it look similar to a husky?

If it is the same one I saw it weighs more than 130lbs. The dog I saw was a Giant Malamute and it's name fit it perfectly. I have never seen a dog that big before. Made my mastiff look like the size of my doxie.

Yes it was a malamute I asked its owner what is was and that is what he said. That dog had to be over 130 pounds looked more like 300lbs that is how big it was. I can tell you this I would never own a malamute there barks are so loud it would wake up everyone here if it barked and scare whoever was in the store out of it thinking the jolly green giant was up in my apt and getting ready to go through the ceiling.

My parents have always owned malamutes. They are gentle giants. I've never seen one show any type of aggression. One of the deceased males got up to 195 pounds. He used to put his paws on my shoulders and dance with me.
The last female they owned used to lay her head on my belly when I was pregnant and listen to the baby. They are truly beautiful dogs!

I own a Malamute. She weighs 120 lbs. I think most of it is fur, especially now that she still has her winter coat. They "woo", not bark.

I looked up Giant Malamutes. Some of them are pretty impressive in size. According to what I read, since records have been kept, there hasn't been one to top 200 lbs yet. Still, they are quite large. I can imagine with all the hair they would seem heavier than that. Pretty dogs.
