BANE is a sweet and well mannered dog who is very smart.  He is so smart that if he gets bored he will find things to do like opening doors to see what is on the other side.  He prefers being outside where he can sniff, explore and watch the neighbors. always looking for some entertainment.  However, he does prefer a big yard with a tall fence because he has learned how to jump over short fences and even how to open gates.

BANE has a large vocabulary and knows: sit, stay, leave it, wait, stop, shake, speak, lay down, belly rubs, bring your bowl, turn and lets go for a walk.  Being a typical Malamute, if he decides he is not in the mood to participate in his human's commands he will lay down and do the "I am a rock" pose until he gets his way.

Other mellow dogs, both big and small are always fun to play with, but BANE prefers to go home to his quiet house where he does not need to share his humans.  BANE also enjoys playing with children, however they should be older and sensitive of his size and age.

Long car rides especially if they lead to a hike or camping makes BANE happy.  He walks well on a leash and enjoys several short walks or a long walk daily.  At the end of a busy day he will relax in his crate near his people or snuggle on their feet. 

His future family should have the time to keep him company, be outdoors and active with him.
