Yukon looks like your typical malamute, except he has one blue eye. Therefore we feel he has Siberian Husky somewhere back there, but if that eye was brown you would be hard pressed to see that.

Yukon was picked up by WAMAL from the shelter. He has obviously been someones well fed pet. He will need some good nutrition but less of it. And a little running should take care of the extra weight. He is a very friendly boy with lots to offer someone who appreciates a more mellow companion.

Yukon seems to get along with all of the dogs he has met so far. Both male and female. He headed the other way when he accidentally got tangled in leashes with another dog which growled at him and did not look like he would be the first one to start anything. He is very vocal. He rode well in the truck in a crate seemed quite calm, but made sure he talked about it the entire way from the shelter to the boarding kennel. He has one blue eye and one brown but the name Yukon is perfect for him. He looks like a dog you would see running in the Iditarod. The markings on the back of his head and shoulders are beautiful. When he has a bath and brushing he will be even better. He seems to know basic commands but definitely likes to lead the way on his walks.

Yukon is currently being fostered in Vancouver, WA.

Update from Yukon's foster mom:
Yukon is a beautiful sweet huggy bear. He will lean against you and put his head in your lap. If you stop petting him he will put his big paw gently on your knee or arm to encourage you to continue. He will sit, lay down, shake, and come when told to. He is a settled but active boy. He is not a puppy but has several years of love to give. He is great with children and other dogs. He does not seem to be that interested in cats. He is half Husky and half Malamute. He is all sweetness.
