Farm Dogs: - Alaskan Malamute?

This is a tricky part of the farm planning. Alaskan Malamute is til now our dream dog to have. We thought by having our own farm, we can own this breed. Because these dogs require a lot of space for them to run around. However, after doing some internet research, the least ideal place for them to stay is, in fact, the farm.

After reading around in the internet, it was said that, Alaskan Malamute's main job is as a sled dog. They love to pull cargos and run around. This breed also possess what is called a prey drive natural instinct. Meaning that, they will hunt and kill other animals, especially the chicken. From one website, it was said they might also kill the sheeps and cattles for fun. Another stated that these dogs are generally too friendly, probably too friendly as they may just follow other people away and wander off. "They should be under leash control or fenced in. It is in their nature to run off.",quoted from Wikipedia

Generally, my opinion is that if this breed was brought up since young, it may be taught to be friendlier to the farm animals and will get along well with them. However, this isn't so. The prey drive is a natural instinct. As what chinese says: 江山易改，本性难移

The question now is whether to ignore what is said, go ahead own this dog and risk the lives of the farm animals or choose another breed. Decision making is needed here!!
