lute, that first picture you posted is actually a malamute... correct me if you know for sure I'm wrong, but that blocky muzzle and mal smile usually doesn't lie. ^^;;
Though I guess some might consider them huskies... I know I, for one, get tired of people telling me what a pretty husky I have when he's so obviously (to me, at least) a Mal.

I'll get off my elitest soap box, now.
