They are different breeds. Malamutes are much bigger than sibes. They are both northern breeds, both double coated. Their temperments and original purpose are different. Huskies were bred to pull a relatively light load, at a fairly pace. Mals were bred to pull very heavy loads at slow speeds for a long way. Mals tend to be more dog aggressive, higher prey drive. Both are hard to contain, stubborn, ect.

This is Muskwa--he's a six year old, purebred siberian. Weighs 48 pounds stands about 22 inches at the shoulder.



This is Heyoka. He's a 2 year old purebred Malamute. He weighs 130 pounds and is much taller. I'm 5'10 and he looks me in the eye when he jumps up.
