Can Alaskan Malamutes run free?
NO!! THEY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED OFF LEASH EVER!!!! He may be fine the first time you allow him off leash in the yard. He may come back to you promptly every single time no matter how interesting the smells or squirrels. That is, until he hesitates, just once, and the car hits him. These are sled dogs. Not porch dogs. They were bred to be stubborn. They were bred to go in one direction for 100s of miles. Their job was to lean into the harness and pull and run and pull and run. They have zero road sense. They have zero car sense. He WILL get on the roads and most likely get himself killed! NEVER let your Alaskan Malamute off leash or out of a fence!!
