The eyes are obliquely placed in the skull. Eyes are brown, almond shaped and of medium size. Dark eyes are preferred. Blue eyes are a disqualifying fault.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE LACK OF INFORMATION GIVEN ON THE REDS

RED AND WHITE malamute is a stunning dog that is given now where near the appreciation in the show ring that it deservers.

I blame this solely on the lack of information given for them in the ankc / FCI Alaskan Malamute standard. As I have highlighted above.

A red malamute will NEVER have a dark eye, NO NEVER this is due to not having black pigment.
If a red has black pigment, I’m sorry its not a red, it’s a sable no ifs no butts.

A red will only have a BROWN PIGMENT on its nose.

The wording IN THE ALASKAN MALAMUTE STANDARD SHOULD BE CHANGED FOR THE REDS FROM Brown is permitted in red dogs TO
A red will only have a Brown nose AND will have a light eye in some reds the colour similar to its coat colour
