Alaskan Malamute

★★★

Sakhalin Husky

★★★

Based on the incredible true story of 15 Sakhalin Huskies trapped alone on Antarctica for a year in 1957-58. Only one of the sled dogs in Nankyoku monogatari is a Mal, but he has a leading role. Difficult to find on DVD outside of Japan.

With a dog training school in the film you see dozens of dogs working in the background and doing agility. Unsure about a few of these, like the Silky that could be a large Yorkie. The Akita might be a mix. And the ungroomed bunch of Havanese might also be something else. A few of these, like the Malamute and Doberman, only appear in the credits.

A bad movie but a great dog. The cheerful Balou plays “Hannibal.”

Malamutes in the sled team of the expedition that discovers the Thing. Cute shot of the men and dogs on a plane together.

Alaskan Malamute

★★★

There are only two characters in this film (and the Jack London short story it’s based on): the man and the dog. Here, “the dog” is Pepper, a brilliant and fine-featured Malamute who steals every scene. Even when the man attacks and wrestles with him, Pepper bounds away and play bows, ready for more. Must-see for fans of northern breeds.

Alaskan Malamute

★★★

A Malamute takes over the role of White Fang in this sequel to the 1991 version, in which the lead was played by famed wolfdog, Jed.
