Giant, over-sized Alaskan Malamutes live to about 9 years, because, like so many other dogs that are over-sized, they are plagued with unnecessary health issues, such as hip dysplasia, for one. An average-sized Mal can live up to 13 years on average. Usually, the best size for any animal is always average. Even "teacup" Chiuauahas are known to live shorter lives than average sized Chiuauahs.

Please dont buy a Mal just for it being giant; its a breeding gimmick to charge more.
