Just from what we can see on these pictures…. Barrel-chested, very pronounce stop (where nose connects to forehead), short nose, short cape hairs on the back of his neck and the ears are a dead giveaway – set too far apart and pointy. All opposite of wolf characteristics and all found in malamutes. I would guess a bit of a shepherd mix and malamute cross.
Paul, regardless of his breed, he’s an extremely handsome frosty muzzled old boy and what a wonderful thing he did for your wife. It looks like he enjoyed his time with your family.
Thanks CJ. Really it was a pleasure for us to look after him.
Really a Fat Mal? I thought he was just a fat hybrid.
I am far less experienced and less knowledgable than 99% of the people on this forum. But his paws were gigantic and he never barked. At times he would howl for almost an hour when his doggie friend would leave. Also he would mark over human pee. If someone were to pee in the backyard he would immediately mark over the human urine.
I do enjoy the notion of the buyers getting ripped off by mistakingly thinking they had a wolf. That'll learn em.

Sorry this made me laugh - do people pee in your garden often?
As the mother of a young boy, and also the owner of a home with only one bathroom, the back yard does get human pee in it more often than you would think LOL!
Paul, the picture of your lab looks perfect to me, nice waist tuck but not too ribby or cow hippy.
On topic, I have met a few malamutes that were GIANT they made my 110 lb nico look small.
One of them was the sweetest thing ever, but he was mastiff sized plus all that hair, and when he talked he sounded like a bear growling. Everyone thought he was a wolf or hybrid, but he was really just a giant malamute.
Nice thing about living in the woods.....Yeah almost any tree will do.
Hahahaha, a dog marking over me? Who cares!?
I'm not a dog, and a wolf or wolf x is more likely to stay away then mark over anyways.
Wolves do not like humans, they can't relate, it's beyond them. That's why they don't make good companions with the human species.
My boy used to pee in my parents 'back yard' (5 acres, rural) all the time.
It's VERY hard for him to resist the urge now... but we live in an apartment... LOL.

When my father died and we were all (seven siblings) saying things we learned from him, my brother (one son who had six sisters all waiting in the bathroom line) said "I learned that when you have six sisters, you pee in the yard."
