Not suitable for my climate
I made the mistake of getting a Malamute in a subtropical climate. He struggles terribly in summer heat despite our air-conditioned home. We can only walk early morning and late evening from May through September. He is wonderful in winter and spring but the summer restrictions on exercise are genuinely challenging for a breed that needs this much activity. If you live somewhere warm, research this seriously before committing.
