> I have been considering an Alaskan Malamute 

We used to have a Norwegian Elkhound, also a snow type dog.  We kept
him outside in Palo Alto, CA.  The concern I'd have about keeping a
snow dog inside is that they have so much hair.  With our Norwegian Elkhound,
it seemed like no matter how much we brushed him, he'd still shed.  He
had 2 layers of hair, regular hair that stuck straight out, and another
layer of hair close to his body.  When we'd let him in the house, we'd
sweep up right away before the hairs got all over.
