Malamute Facts
Hmmmm..."An Arctic dog, the malamute may live outdoors in a sturdy kennel with a high, strong fence, but malamutes also make splendid, almost odorless housedogs. Under no circumstances should a malamute be allowed to run loose or be kept on a chain, tie— out, or trolley. The indoor dog requires daily exercise on leash or in a completely enclosed area such as a tennis court or a fenced yard; the outdoor dog has an equally strong need for daily companionship and affection.
The ancestors of today’s malamute were sometimes forced to hunt, forage, and compete for food. Consequently, malamutes have a predatory streak and if allowed to run loose in rural areas, will reliably slaughter livestock and wild animals. In urban and suburban areas, a loose malamute is a menace to cats. Swift, fearless, and powerful, malamutes have been known to catch songbirds on the wing and, if challenged, to deal harshly with other dogs. Some adult rescue malamutes get along well with cats and with other dogs, but some must go to homes with no other pets. Furthermore, although the breed boasts a few angels, some malamutes will raid trash and steal food inside the house. Anyone unprepared to deal firmly and calmly with this wild streak should not own an Alaskan malamute."
Like I said, the dog wasn't bad it was doing what they do. The owner on the other hand is a asshat and should be taken out and shot. OP how hard did you actually work with the dog to train it. I'm not talking owning it or looking after it but actually training it. Did you leave it chained up all the time? If so you killed the dog for no reason as you should have taken 2 minutes to google info on the breed.
