I had the lab and malamute combo for years until we lost the lab a few years back to cancer. My malamute is still with me trucking on into her ninth year now. They are a profoundly deep breed to have the privilege of spending ones life with. Definitely worth the hard work one puts in with them as they grow up. My girl has the blue eyes much the same as yours but a beige and white coat. Great post. Happily up voted and followed.
