Malamutes & strangers

Just been to Sainsbury's with Indi, I take her there every so often to keep up her socialisation with strangers. As usual, she attracted quite a crowd of onlookers. Most say the usual things like "He's a nice Husky..." or "my mate used to have an Akita...". Today though was unusual. A girl got out of a Porsche, came running up to Indi, and the first question was "Wow, how much did he cost?", quickly followed by "I want one..." Now, Malamutes are not the easiest dogs in the world to own and you can tell which people will get on with them and which won't pretty much instantly...I leave it up to you to decide if I thought this was a likely Malamute owner.
