What is the difference between a Siberian
Husky and Alaskan Malamute?
.
Siberian Huskies are very high energy very high
active dogs. They are GO GO GO. They have no
loyalty to one person they love everyone and
everything. Just think of what a dog was made
for and that is what you get many times in
different breeds. They love other animals and
people. They do not do well with Chicken, Geese, Ducks, Goats, Etc. They are not farm animals.
They will chase and play with anything that is
smaller than them. As for children they love to
play. Small children do very well to keep up with
the huskies. If a burglar came to your home the
husky would say here is the money, here is the
jewels and hey buddy I am going with you. If you were in a fight with that burglar the husky would want to "Play" also. Huskies are definitely
diggers so if you love your flower garden this
dog might not be right for you. Their average
weight is 35-65 lbs. With males being about 20
lbs more than females on average.
.
Alaskan Malamutes are a lot more laid back.
They used to baby-sit the Mahlamute children in
the tribes. They can be protective but not all
cases. They are not a guard dog but are a dog
that takes care of problems if the problem finds
them. As I call them "a lie and wait dog". My
personal opinion is the females are more
protective and want to know more of what is
going on. Males I call the Mellow Mush Balls.
Malamutes on average are a slower paced dog
then the huskies. Malamutes are big Chewers.
But if given lots of chew toys and taught at a
young age what is appropriate that is all a
malamute needs. They can be stubborn in some
opinions. I call it a great thinker. Malamutes are
on average 75-150 lbs. With females being about the same size at times. So size is not gender specific. On average my finding are females max in size of 130-140 lbs. There can be a larger heaver boned dog but "size"(shoulder height) is about the same on average just bone structure to make the dog heavy weighted is different.
As for them both they are both a hard headed
dog for first time owners. They are independent
thinking dogs and are made to make their own
decisions on trails and such. So some people
view that as stubborn. I view it as the most
intelligent dog out there. They can work out a
puzzle or problem. It's just people that don't
understand them and try to train them the same
as they would a retriever or Shepherd - these are the ones that get frustrated with these breeds.
They are very different and take different
measures of teaching. Time and patience with
both breeds are needed along with Puppy
Classes, Puppy Classes, Puppy Classes. As I
would recommend to anyone with ANY breed of
dog. If you are not prepared to put a whole year
of hard work into your pup you might want to
wait for a better time. These breeds are both a
great dog.
