I wouldn't make a very good Malamute owner, I don't think. They're the kind of dog that needs to know its person is indisputably in charge. I mean, all dogs need to know you are the leader, to feel safe, but Malamutes need that more than most. Add that to the very high energy levels, and it can be a bit of a disaster for all concerned, if they find themselves in the wrong household. I think they do best with a family, especially if there are a couple of youngsters about to help soak up that energy.
Gorgeous dogs though. The less rational part of me would adore one :P
