What do a black lab and a Siberian husky have in common?

Answer 1

Like all dogs, they are related to wolves. And, as most wolves, they're expected to do well when having to run a lot, and be out in the cold a lot, they end up looking pretty much like wolves.

Answer 2

Wolves and Siberian Huskies actually have a lot of the same traits, such as the fur, wolves and huskies have a little bit of side burns on the sides of their heads. Their skull structure is also similar. The only big difference is the size of the two, the wolf is bigger than the husky but I don't think by much.

Answer 3

The most obvious answer is that they are dogs, and as such have common physical traits of four legs, a tail, fur, etc...

Personality wise; they are both very energetic breeds, and two of the smartest ones as well. They are also both common breeds to be used to make an "alaskan husky" (a dog specifically bred to pull sleds), but that's about all they have in common.

Lab's tend to mellow out around 5 years old and huskies stay energetic till arthritus prevents them from moving, labs tend to be quieter and huskies love talking, labs are very reliant on their owners and huskies are very independent, labs live to please while huskies live to be pleased, labs can do OK in a small house, but huskies are likely to tear the house down, labs can do OK in both hot and cold climates, but a husky suffers in hot climates. Labs do OK with kids, huskies... not so much.

So generally, a lab is more of a beginner dog, where as a husky is for someone who has a lot of experience with dogs.
