Malamutes are a large breed of dog.
on average there body weight and height are..
HeightMale - Range from 24-26 Inches (61-66 cm)Female - Range from 22-24 Inches (56-61 cm)
WeightMale - Range from 80-95 Pounds ( 36-43 kg)Female - Range from 70-85 Pounds ( 32-38 kg)
but they can easily go over that height and weight.
i have a male Malamute and he weighs over 60 kg. he's a big boy =]
No, an Alusky is a mix between an Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky. An Alaskan Husky is a purebred dog.
Probably the closest breed to a husky would be the Alaskan Malamute which is pretty much a stronger-built husky. Another similar breed could be a German Shepherd Dog, with its speed, strength, loyalty, and similarity to wolves. Or another breed could be the Alaskan Klee Kai, which is pretty much a miniature husky.
An Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky mix is a cross breed and a hybrid because a cross breed is a hybrid. In this case, a hybrid would be defined as the offspring of two different breeds of dogs which is what a cross breed is as well.
The dog who played in the movie "Passengers' was most likely a Siberian Husky or a Siberian Husky/Alaskan Malamute mix.
Any cross breed is generally referred to as a mutt or mongrel. I've heard them called Aluskies before, but it's not a term that's been officially recognised.
Lets just say if you have a small apartment it will have a little space to move around
The alaskan malamute is a little bit wider and more furry than a siberian husky, but a siberian husky is a little bit thinner and have sharper ears. An alaskan malamute has more strength and better skills in pulling sleds than a siberian husky. A siberian husky has blue eyes is faster than an alaskan malamute, while an alaskan malamute has a thicker head and small brown eyes. Siberian huskies have sharper teeth than alaskan malamutes, which have bigger jaws.
I have a golden husky and he weighs in at 76lbs
Alaskan Malamutes are stockier in build than Siberian Huskies. Also, Malamutes most of the time have brown eyes while Huskies sometimes have blue eyes. The main reason a Husky can have brown eyes is if it's a mix and the main reason a Malamute can have blue eyes is if it's a mix.
Alaskan huskies are not an actual breed but consist of a mix of Siberian huskies, Wolves and/or usually gun dogs like the labrador to improve sled pulling. If you are interested in Huskies check out the Alaskan Malamute.
The actual cross between a Malamute and a Shepherd breed is quite popular and some owners actually call them a 'Shepalute' but with the Husky mixed in only makes it a Mongrel I'm afraid. Just because the cross between an Alaskan Malamute and a German Shepherd Dog has been given a "name" does not make is any less of a mongrel. A pure breed is one that has consistently reproduced the same characteristics in offspring over many, many generations. You can not reliably expect the puppies from Malamute/Shepherd breedings to look the same. Some will have more traits from one breed, and some from the other. This is at odds with the definition of "purebred." With the Siberian in the mix or not, the so-called Shepalute is a mutt.
I had a Dalmatian Malamute mix named Pete, who recently passed away, he was 12 years and eight months old. He was the size of a Malamute, in his prime he weighed about 100 lbs., he was about 29 inches tall to the top of his head. His coloring was that of a dalmatian, white with black spots but his hair was medium length and soft like a malamute. In the face he looked like a malamute but with brown eyes. For the most part he was a social dog except when he was laying down or eating, it was best to leave him alone at those times.
