Best Answer

While Huskies and Malamutes may look very similar, their temperaments differ drastically. Malamutes have a calm, easy temperament. They are generally better suited for family life and enjoy human company, though they are not to be trusted around small animals. Huskies, on the other hand, have a temperament and behaviors closer to that of a wolf. They are more independent of humans, and thus, require more training than a Malamute would.
