Which is better, Alaska or husky?

There are four basic differences between Kazakhstan and Alaska:

1, eye color: Alaskan Malamute can only have brown eyes, huskies can have blue or brown eyes.

2. Body shape: Alaskan Malamute looks strong and slightly larger, while huskies are of medium size and light gait.

3. Coat: The coat of Alaskan sled dogs is slightly longer than that of huskies, but not very long.

4. Ear distance: The ear distance of Alaskan sled dogs is slightly wider than that of huskies.

Alaska:

Country of origin: USA

Ideal height: male dog 53.5-60 cm, female dog 565,438+0-56 cm.

Ideal weight: male dog 20-27kg, female dog 16-23kg.

Alaskan Malamute is one of the oldest Malamute dogs. Hard and strong, it belongs to a dog breed with a sharp mouth. This dog is stronger than a Siberian sled dog. It can not only carry heavy objects, but also walk a long distance with them. The name of Alaskan Malamute comes from Alaskan Malamute. This kind of dog can be found in the records of the original North American immigrants. This kind of dog has a symmetrical physique, tenacious spirit and endurance. In the days when sledding was used, the Miao people in Riimala were very envied by other ethnic groups because of their strong dog breeds that could walk through the snow in the Arctic. In the early days of Alaska's development, Alaskan sled dogs were almost extinct because they crossed with imported dogs. This dog is loyal and capable. It is an excellent guard dog and working dog, and it is also an affectionate family dog. Alaskan Malamute is famous for its strength and endurance. Therefore, it is often used to explore the North and South Pole. Malamute people speak highly of this breed. They use this dog to hunt polar bears and wolves, and also use it as a job of guarding reindeer. This dog likes outdoor sports.

Head: the hood is wide, the nose and mouth are wide, and the chin is strong.

Ears: small and triangular, with a wide distance between the ears, and upright ears turned back.

Body: Strong physique, thick chest, straight back and round buttocks.

Coat: The lower coat is as thick as wool, and the upper coat is thick and hard and vertical. The coat color is white, from light gray to black, from golden yellow to pig liver color. The coat color of chest, abdomen, feet, some limbs and face is white.

Husky:

Height: male dog 2 1 to 23 inches (scapular position) and female dog 20-22 inches (scapular position)

Weight: male dog 45-60 kg, female dog 35-50 kg, weight is directly proportional to height. The above measurement size is the limit size of height and weight, and there is no preference. Any dog that exceeds the size and weight of the bones is not recommended. Viewed from the side, the length from the front shoulder of the dog to the rear point of the hip is slightly greater than the height from the nail to the ground, which is unqualified: the male dog exceeds 23 inches and the female dog exceeds 22 inches. Size is a comprehensive feature of Siberian dogs, that is, the texture of fur and upright ears are as important as their action characteristics. Dogs smaller than the standard size lack the strength of a good sled dog, while dogs larger than the standard size may lack speed and endurance. Therefore, once again, it is very important to realize that the set standards are stable and there is no preference. Even in large-scale competitions, some big dogs are eliminated immediately just because they are overweight, but their size is not absolute. Dogs whose size is within the standard range will be carefully compared. I remember that the famous champion dog camel country weighed only 48 kg, and the popular weight at that time should be around 50 kg. It is also interesting that the side effect of adhering to this medium-sized regulation is husky lovers, and so far many problems encountered by people who have better large dogs have been avoided.

head

Expression: keen but friendly; Interesting and even a little naughty. Eyes: almond-shaped, with moderate eye distance and slight inclination. The color of eyes can be brown or blue, and one color or variegated eyes can also be used. Disadvantages: the eyes are too oblique and the eye distance is too small.

Ears: medium size, triangular, with two ears close together at the top of the head. The ears are thick, with good hair, the back is slightly arched, standing firmly, and the tip of the ear is slightly round and pointing upward. Defect: the proportion of ear head is too large; The distance between the ears is too wide to stand steadily.

Skull: medium size, proportional to the body, slightly rounded at the top, and gradually inclined to the eyes from the widest part. Defects: the head is rough and heavy, and the lines on the head are carved too finely.

Quarrel: The boundaries are clear, and the bridge of the nose runs from here to the tip of the nose. Defect: no quarrel.

Kiss: medium length, that is, the length from the tip of the nose to the corner of the mouth is equal to the length from the corner of the mouth to the upper back. The width of the kiss is medium, gradually inclining to the nose, and the tip of the nose is neither too sharp nor too square. Defect: too thin or too thick, too short or too long.

Note: Black, brown or black with gray, reddish brown with copper, pure white with flesh-colored and pink stripes are also acceptable.

Lips: brightly colored and properly closed.

Teeth: bite like scissors. Defect: Any non-scissor bite.

Note: the head, together with the type of fur, the overall size and proportion of the body, is the main index of a breed. Therefore, the head is an important factor in evaluating any purebred dog. Some people say that the head is basically an aesthetic and has nothing to do with the actual function of a variety, which is of course completely wrong.

For example, Siberian dogs not only have well-protected fur ears to survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic climate, but also come to the conclusion that ears must be smaller than German shepherd dogs to avoid frostbite. Upright ears are also more effective against infectious diseases than drooping ears.
