The difference between Alaskan Malamute and Husky

Please read the following information patiently and carefully! ! It’s all about the detailed answers to the questions you asked and some of my personal experiences! ! I hope it will be of some help to you! ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There are four basic differences between the Alaskan Malamute and the Alaskan Malamute:

1. Eye color: The Alaskan Malamute can only have brown eyes, while the eyes of the Husky can be blue or brown.

2. Size: The Alaskan Malamute looks relatively strong and slightly larger, while the Husky is medium in size and has a light gait.

3: Coat: The coat of the Alaskan Malamute is slightly longer than that of the Husky, but not very long.

4: Ear distance: The ears of the Alaskan Malamute are slightly wider while the ears of the Husky are narrower. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There is actually a big difference between them. Husky is a medium-sized dog, and Ala is a large dog. The obvious difference is in weight. An adult Husky weighs about 50 pounds, while an adult Alaskan weighs 80-90 pounds. They are all dogs that are very close to people. They will not actively attack people, nor guard their food. They rarely bark and do not make noise to people. However, due to their size, they have a certain deterrent effect on people. It is best to keep them on a leash when going out to play. It is not good to scare children; and they are dogs that are easy to get lost. There are also Alaskans with long hair and Huskies with short hair, but they both shed very much. Both dogs require a lot of exercise and should be met as much as possible. As for Ala's personality, it is still better than other sled dogs. All dogs are noisy when they are puppies, and they get better when they grow up. However, Ala is quite well-behaved and rarely barks (large dogs don't like to bark much); compared to Huskies, he is more loyal, powerful and easy to Cultivate feelings, and Xiaoha shows more lively, naughty, and unruly (this is one of the reasons why many people like Xiaoha). Personally, I think Alaska is slightly better. It has the upper hand in terms of size. Whether it’s a boy or a girl taking Ara out, they will turn heads. Of course, you still have to consider it more completely and comprehensively based on your own living conditions and financial capabilities, so as to choose a dog that is more suitable for you! Xixi! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alaska:

The Alaskan Malamute is one of the oldest sled dogs. It has a strong physique and belongs to the sharp-mouthed dog breed. This dog is stronger than the Siberian Husky and can not only carry heavy objects, but can also walk very long distances with heavy objects on its back. The name of the Alaskan Malamute comes from the Malamute tribe of Alaska. Records of this dog can be found in the earliest records of North American immigrants. This dog has a well-proportioned physique, tenacious spirit and endurance. In the days when sleds were being used, the Malamuts were the envy of other tribes because they had such strong dogs that could travel in the Arctic snow. In the early days of Alaska's development, the Alaskan Malamute was almost extinct due to cross-breeding with imported dog breeds. This dog is loyal and capable. It is an excellent guard dog and working dog, as well as an affectionate family dog. Alaskan Malamutes are famous for their strength and endurance. Therefore, it is often used to explore the North and South Pole. The Malamute tribe holds this breed in high regard. They use this dog to hunt polar bears and wolves, and also use it to guard reindeer. This dog loves outdoor sports.

Husky:

Height: Male dog 21 to 23 inches (withers) Female dog 20 to 22 inches (withers)

Weight: Male dog 45 to 60 pounds, bitches 35 to 50 pounds, weight proportional to height. The above measurement dimensions are the extreme dimensions of height and weight without any preference. Any dog ??exceeding this bone size and weight is not acceptable. Viewed from the side, the length from the front shoulder to the rear point of the hip is slightly longer than the length from the nail to the ground. Height, disqualified: over 23 inches for males and 22 inches for females. Size is a general characteristic of the Siberian dog, as is the texture of the coat, erect ears, and the characteristics of its movement. A dog smaller than the standard size lacks the strength of a good sled dog, while a dog larger than the standard size may lack the speed and durability. force. So, once again, it is important to realize that the standards set are robust and impartial, and even in a large-scale competition, some of the larger dogs will be eliminated outright simply because of their size. However, size is not absolute. Those dogs with body size proportions within the standard range will be carefully compared. Remember that the famous champion dog Togo at the time only weighed 48 pounds, and the popular weight at that time should be around 50 pounds. It is also interesting to note that a possible side effect of adhering to this medium size rule is that Husky enthusiasts have so far avoided many of the problems encountered by those who are better off keeping larger dogs.

Expression: keen but friendly; funny and even a little mischievous. Eyes: almond-shaped, moderately set and slightly upward slanted. Eye color may be brown or blue, and both eyes may be one color or mixed. of. Faults: The eyes are too slanted and the distance between the eyes is too small.

Ears: Medium in size, triangular in shape, set close together on the top of the head. The ears are thick, well furred, slightly arched at the back, firmly erect, slightly rounded at the tips and pointing straight upward. Faults: The ears are too large in proportion to the head; the distance between the ears is too wide and cannot be firmly erect.

Skull: Medium in size, proportional to the body, slightly rounded at the top, gradually slanting from the widest point toward the eyes. Defects: The head is rough and bulky, and the head lines are too finely carved.

The corners of the mouth: clear boundaries, from the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose. Disadvantages: Not enough to talk.

Note: The head, together with the type of fur, the overall size and proportion of the body, is the main indicator of a category. Therefore, the head is an important factor in evaluating any purebred dog. There has been such a discussion , the head is basically just a beauty or not, and has little to do with the actual function of a breed, which of course is completely untrue. For example, a Siberian dog has to survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic climate. It is not just the ears that are well protected by the fur, but it can also be roughly concluded that its ears must be smaller than those of a German Shepherd to avoid damage from the cold. Erect ears also protect against infectious diseases more effectively than droopy ears. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Breed standard of Siberian Husky and Husky:
