Mals are freight dogs. Sibes are speed dogs. Mals tend to be more dog aggressive, especially to the same sex, than huskies are. I have both--none of the mals can live as a pack dog. they are selective about their buddies.

My malamute, Heyoka, who is way over breed standard for weight. He's technically a giant, although the giants aren't recognized by any kennel club.


One of my purebred sibes--Bandit, who is a show quality husky, who's never been shown!
