The main “mission” of the northern handsome man is the same as that of the husky – to carry loaded sleds through the snow. The Malamute has a lot in common with the husky: both dogs have a wayward character, many even confuse these breeds. But the differences between them are not so difficult to find. Malamute is taller, it has more weight, and the bone is wider than that of the husky. All these qualities make the Alaskan handsome man much more enduring than his closest brother: with a heavy harness, he can run even for a whole day. In representatives of these breeds, wool is also different, in Malamutes it is longer and thicker. But the color is almost identical.
