Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Cause they're completely unhealthy. Malamutes are supposed to be 75-85 lbs depending on the sex and giants are bred to be well over 100lbs. There are HUGE health risks, complications and problems that are associated with over-breeding for size and the life expectancy of dogs that large drops from ~12 years down to ~6yrs. They aren't bred to do anything or to the purpose of the malamute breed. They are bred only to conform to an arbitrary size standard.
It's unfair to the dogs really They're adorable, as most malamutes are, and I'm not denying they're wonderful dogs, but that's a cruel and unfair standard to arbitrarily put on a dog for no reason whatsoever.
Just my $.02

I only asked because i had no idea about what they did to get to that size. That does break my heart. My friends malamute seems to be fairly healthy considering, but who knows what the future could hold for him
