Border Malamute Terrier

Border Malamute Terrier History

The Border Mal-mut is a mixed-breed of a dog that was created in 1988 by breeders Robert Goode and Pat Downey in California. The Border Mal-mut is a mix between the Siberian Husky and the Alaskan Malamute. The Husky and Malamute were bred together in an attempt to create a sled dog that could handle colder climates. The FCI first recognized the Border Ma-mut as a distinct breed in 2001. The FCI classifies the Babe as a “cross”, rather than a “purebred”, but the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes the Babe as a purebred.
