Alaskan Seal and white Alaskan Seal Malamutes receive both black and red genes from their parents. The seal Malamute may appear nearly black at a distance, as this striking color consists of all black or black-tipped guard hairs, but the undercoat is a creamy or rusty brown. Plus many seals also have extensive red trimming. Often have prominent face markings (closed face/full mask) with or without white blaze, star or stripes. Breeder's Note: In the case of seals, the red factor is expressed phenotypically and is also donated to some offspring. Alaskan Seal Malamutes should not be disregarded as sources of exceptional red tone and dark pigment. For example: When bred to a creamy white stud (from a wolf grey and a wolf sable)- one Seal bitch (from a seal and a wolf sable) whelped a litter of 7 white/cream pups, two reds and one sable.
