Are Alaskan Malamutes good with kids?

Yes, Alaskan Malamutes are good with kids, as they are known to be incredibly gentle and affectionate. They may be best suited to the playful energy of older children, as their stature may unintentionally overpower little ones.

Like all dogs, though, it’s important to teach both the dog and children how to interact safely and respectfully. It' s also recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your dog to keep both the child and dog safe.
