The Alaskan Shepherd is a mixed breed dog that combines the Alaskan Malamute and the German Shepherd. This hybrid breed typically inherits traits from both parent breeds, resulting in a large and strong dog with a protective and loyal nature. Alaskan Shepherds are known for their intelligence and can make excellent working dogs or family pets with proper training and socialization. They often have a thick double coat and require regular exercise and grooming to keep them healthy and happy.
