Having been the responsible party in regards to a Malamute, (saying you
own one is a vast overstatement of your power over an animal that may
see you as a god, but a minor one that can easily be ignored), I did a
bit of research, and at the time it was reported that the Inuit would
occasionally back breed them with wolves.
Whether that was intentional or accidental is a question, considering
that wolves may respect people, but Malamutes seem to really like
people, and I wouldn't trust a powerful creature like that unless it
really liked me, and diluting affection seems like a very bad idea.
There wasn't a smaller animal in the neighborhood that was safe if my
Malamute got loose, though the smaller primates were more in danger of
being slobbered to death with affection.

Oldest by far.
Malamutes have been used and bred by the inuit of Northwest Alaska for
at least a 2-3,000 years. I read of an ivory carving dated as being
12,000 to 20,000 years old that shows a dog almost identical to the
Malamute we know today.

I seem to remember reding that the Malamute is considered the oldest

Thanks, Henk, Larry and Paul!
Bandit is not a Husky, Henk, he's and Alaskan Malamute. Native to
Northwest Alaska, and used for heavy freighting, rather than racing. They
are almost twice as big as Siberians, and fortunately a bit calmer.
He know which things are his toys, and which are not, and rarely bothers
things that are not his.
The larger of the stuffed dogs is a Cuddle Clone:

pet,
and they create a replica.
Here is another version of the same scene:
