Is the Alaskan Malamute a husky?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

The Alaskan Malamute (/ˈmæləˌmjuːt/) is a large breed of dog that was originally bred for their strength and endurance to haul heavy freight as a sled dog and hound. They are similar to other arctic, husky, and spitz breeds such as the Greenland Dog, Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky, and the Samoyed.


Is a malamute and a husky the same thing?

While they're both sizable dogs, the malamute is the larger of the two—by a lot. The American Kennel Association says the husky usually stands between 20 and 24 inches tall. Female huskies are usually smaller, and weigh between 35 and 50 pounds, with males weighing in from 45 to 60 pounds.
