The Difference Between Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes

Huskies are medium-sized (35–60 lbs), while Malamutes are larger and bulkier (75–100 lbs). Think of Huskies as sprinters and Malamutes as bodybuilders!

Huskies often have striking blue or bi-colored eyes, while Malamutes stick to brown eyes, giving them a more gentle and soulful expression.

Both are fluffy, but Malamutes have a thicker, denser coat made for extreme cold. Huskies have a sleeker, more manageable coat—less fluff, but still cozy!

Huskies were bred for speed and endurance, pulling light sleds over long distances. Malamutes? They’re the heavy lifters, built to haul massive loads across rugged terrain.

Huskies are chatterboxes with their famous "woo-woo" talk, while Malamutes prefer deep, wolf-like howls—less chatty, more dramatic!

Huskies are free-spirited escape artists, always looking for an adventure. Malamutes are loyal homebodies, more affectionate and family-oriented.

Huskies come in a variety of colors, from black & white to red & silver. Malamutes? They mostly stick to gray, black, sable, and red, always with a solid white face mask.

Huskies have endless zoomies, always ready to play! Malamutes are more laid-back—they love exercise but enjoy chilling with their humans too.
