Males weighing more than 120 pounds (54 kg) are occasionally seen, and breeders who specifically select dogs with unusually large body sizes refer to these selected large-bodied breeds as “giant Malamutes,” although neither the AKC nor the FCI has specified a size limit for Alaskan Sled Dogs. Although neither the AKC nor the FCI specifies a size limit for the Alaskan Sled Dog, such individuals are considered inappropriate for purebred Alaskan Sled Dogs due to the adverse effects on skeletal and physical development, and are not accepted by the AKC’s purebred standard. 2. The coat is a “dense, polar” double coat. Off the track, the Alaskan Sled Dog’s inner layer is a rich fleece, and the outer layer is a stiff, needle-like coat, generally similar to the Husky’s coat, but to some extent slightly coarser than the Husky’s coat (harsher). The outer layer of pin-like hairs should not be too long or soft in texture, and any such condition is considered a defect. The common color of the coat is a combination of white and smoky gray, black, sable, red, sand, etc. Colors other than white are acceptable regardless of shade. The facial coat pattern tends to show a cross with two points of white eyebrows or all white and all in-between appearances. The coat color of the Alaskan Sheltie is not substantially different from that of the Husky. Longer coats that do not match polar characteristics also occur in some regions in specially selected giant breeding stock by some breeders. Long-haired individuals are not accepted by the AKC and FCI, and although they do not meet the purebred standard and cannot be entered, in some areas the appearance of long-haired individuals is favored by many owners. 3.
