I think Malamutes are considered to have a medium risk of getting cancer.

This is the Mal we had, Samson.
He'd been abused, and came to us as a very timid 18 month old. Became a super dog. And boy, could he howl. And talk!!
He was 13 in this picture.
The red thing on his neck was to support a cancerous growth.
The lump was unable to be removed because of its location and he wasn't a candidate for surgery at this point.
We lost him about 9 months after this was taken.
