Is a Alaskan malamute a husky?

Answer 1

First, Alaskan Malamutes are bigger, have a heavier coat,a shorter snout and they are smarter. Siberian Huskies are, smaller, faster, and built for speed. They look nothing alike.

The Alaskan Malamute was originally bred by an Alaskan tribe known as Mahlemuts or Malemuit for hauling sleds. The dog is the oldest known native Alaskan breed. It has a thick, coarse outer coat, a woolly gray or black and white undercoat, and a bushy tail carried high. They have deep brown eyes and certain superior air about them. They have a thick coat, the undercoat has an oily texture that keeps the water out and the heat in and the outer coat is a soft, thick feel to it.

The Siberian Husky came from Siberia about one hundred years ago. It was used as a sled dog, watchdog, and pet. It is usually smaller than the malamute and has a soft, thick undercoat, and the outercoat is soft. The husky is usually gray, black, red, or tan, and may have numerous markings, particularly about the head. The dog sometimes has one blue and one brown eye, and has a bushy tail that trails when it is working and is held up in a curve when alert.

She is 100% right but huskies and malamutes were bread by the same tribe just in a different place. malmutes were bread in Alaskan in a more native time but huskies were bread in Russia that's why you here names like Mishka for a husky and Malson for an Alaskan malamute. huskies are more sled dog and wolf then malamutes but malamutes r more Akita. huskies are the only dogs that don't have webbed feet for grabbing ice to climb mountains, there both great.

Also huskies have to different colored eyes so they can be told apart from malamutes and I'm sorry i messed up huskies origin was Russia they were bread in the northern part of Siberia. there are actually not watch dogs, if someone breaks in they are more likely to let them go. but if someone is hurting there owner then yes. huskies tend to have a fave person in the house which is usually the mother. malamutes are big and muscular and its bites are like a pitbull. its jaw locks but huskies have small pointed teeth and cut and slice.

Answer 2

Not exactly. they are a close cousin of the Siberian Husky, the only noticeable difference is a shorter snout. However, they are all in the Spitz breed.
