Anatomy wrote:An Alaskan Garter usually has a short neck, stumpy paws, a long body and thick, heavy paws.
The Breeds fur is thick and in a layered coat that protects it against the cold, a feature of this breed is the thick fluff on its cheeks.
The body is heavy and under the fur is a thick layer of fat which protects the Garter Hound from the icy cold.
Its paws are wide and have fur between the pads to protect them from the icy underground.
The garders longeated body and wide set stance allow it to distribute its weight easier over icy surfaces and it makes it very unlikely for the canine to break trough ice.
The breed is known to suffer from Hip problems at a high age and hence it is recomended to keep the saddle over its shoulder and upper spine.

I can't recall much, but i do remember leaving the town with my malamute companion Kara. We were out walking, mostly nothing more than exploring and me playing around with Kara, but the snow seemed to get heavier than it was when we left, and before i knew it we were lost. The snowstorm grew thicker, almost blinding my sight. It wasn't until i heard a deep growl that i realized. Far from the town and very vulnerable. Kara was barking and growling, and i knew something was wrong. After a few moments of such, i backed up out of fear and ended up stumbling back. And there she was. She was the first ever Alaskan Garter i've ever encountered, and it was paralyzing. By some luck, though, she didn't seem entirely too aggressive. Mostly seeming defensive of the area we were in, that could be assumed as her home.
I remember pulling whatever that was edible out of the pocket of my coat, and throwing it onto the ground in front of her paws, scrambling back a bit. She wasn't too trusting of what i had thrown her, a mix of various berries and crackers along with a couple dog treats for Kara i think, but she eventually picked them up one by one, eating all of it with ease. My memory after that is a bit blurry, but one thing i do remember after that, atleast, was that she seemed to stick near Kara and I, protecting us during the snowstorm. Once it blew over, we parted ways and as foolish as it felt, i remember thanking the large canine before i went home. But it became habit, coming back every other day or so to feed the Alaskan Garter that i had started to proudly call 'Zodiac', after long months of this, feeding and tentative touches or pets, she trusted me enough for me to touch her, lightly patting her head at times and sitting next to her when she laid down, it took a good.. 7, 8 months? for her to trust me enough for me to lead her back to the town. She was wary, and she didn't follow me there much at all, but with time we got closer, and she's stuck around me ever since.
Also, her and Kara eventually became relaxed around eachother, they get along good! And it was definitely an interesting sight to see them laying near eachother and just being able to look at the size difference of the two.
