Look at getting a northern inuit if you can. My friend has 2. They are 1/4 husky 1/4 malmalute 1/4 german sheperd and 1/4 wolf!
Really tame, They dont bark but they sometimes talk by making wierd noises and they hardly shed their coat!

I would also not recommend a bulldog, because they are very high maintenance. You have to clean their folds, and wipe their ass. They have more problems than they are worth, IMO.

First and foremost, it depends on what your living situation is, and then you pick a dog around that. Don't even think about getting a big or even medium sized dog if you live in an apartment.
Unless you live in a house and have a fair share of property it would be unfair to get a larger dog like that. Walking the dog or taking it to the park on weekends would not be enough.
Definitly +1
Both the malamute and the husky are dogs bred for hard work. Unless you have an enourmous garden, don't get these dogs 'cuz they'll be a pain in the ass destroying everything and being frustrated.

Yeah, you would think that they would hate being latched to a harness, and pulling you on a sled.
They LOVE it. They get so excited, and talk alot, until you let them pull you. It's awesome.

A friend of mine recommended that I look into a Norwegian Elkhound. He said that they will have everything that I would want in a Husky/Malamute, but yet be chilled enough during the day when I am not at home. He said that if they need to work, they can be work beasts, but are content at just chilling with you inside while you watch TV. Anyone have experience with an Elkhound?

We live in a decent sized apartment and own a miniature beagle
We've never really had problems with her.
I would recommend it. Always excited when your ready to play but also very lazy at times.
