Are All Huskies Siberian

When people think of huskies, they often think of the majestic Siberian Husky. However, there are many types of huskies, and not all of them are from Siberia. In fact, there are several different types of huskies that come from all over the world. In this article you will learn about the two most popular breeds of Husky.

Where are Huskies From?

The Siberian Husky is a type of dog that was originally bred in Siberia. As their name suggests, they are well-suited to cold climates thanks to their thick fur coats and require frequent grooming. They were originally bred as working dogs and were often used to pull sleds or herd reindeer.


Nowadays, Siberian Huskies are still used as working dogs in some parts of the world but are also popular pets. They are known for being friendly, social creatures that get along well with people and other pets, including cats. However, they are high-maintenance when it comes to grooming, exercise and training.

What Types of Huskies are There?

There are two predominant types of huskies, Siberian and the Malamute. These two species of Huskies differ greatly in size but not so much in temperament.

Alaskan Malamute


The Alaskan Malamute is certainly an impressive breed with a fascinating history. Their wolf-like appearance and huge size make them stand out among other sled dog breeds, and their close association with wolves can be traced back to the Mahlemute tribe’s deliberate mating practices thousands of years ago. These strong and resilient dogs were not only used for traditional tasks such as hunting and hauling, but also forged a unique bond with their owners as companions and sources of warmth in harsh Alaskan winters. Though they may require more space and attention than your average domestic pup, it is easy to see why the Alaskan Malamute remains a beloved breed to this day.

Siberian Husky


The Siberian Husky is a beautiful and popular dog breed that originates from Siberia in Russia. They are famous for their stunning eye color, and they have a longer coat than their cousin, the Alaskan Husky. Siberian Huskies are also known for being very active and requiring a lot of exercise, so they are not the best breed for people who live a sedentary lifestyle. Siberian Huskies also require regular brushing, especially during seasonal transitions, to keep their coats healthy and prevent mats from forming. Finally, Siberian Huskies can weigh up to 50+ pounds, so they are not suitable for apartments or small homes.

While Siberian and Malamute are the most popular types of husky, there are many other types of huskies from all over the world, including the following:


    American Klee Klai

Different Types Of Husky

 There is sometimes some confusion between Eurohounds, Alaskan huskies, Siberian huskies and Malamutes. However, they can all be referred to, quite accurately, as sleddogs. They are just good at slightly different things in the sleddog world! When most people think of a 'sleddog', their first thought is of the kind of dog used in Hollywood films. In other words, a large fluffy Malamutes or a large Siberian with blue eyes. This, therefore, has become the stereotypical image of the sled dog for most people . However the vast majority of safari companies, for instance, use, rather, so-called 'Alaskan' huskies which may in fact be quite far from this 'typical' Holywood husky in appearance. Similarly, the vast majority of racing huskies are either Alaskan huskies or Eurohounds (with the super short-haired Eurohounds being used primarily in the sprint-distances races). At Hetta Huskies, we are happy to have a wide-range of breeds and types of sleddog , even if the m...

10 Beautiful Types of Husky Breeds (With Pictures)

 The Husky is a popular dog that was bred in the far North to make a superb sled-pulling dog. The term was given to the dogs by English sailors when they encountered people who they inaccurately called “Eskimos.” The sled dogs that the Inuit people kept were broadly named “Huskimos,” and the more common term became the shortened version of this, “Husky.” The dogs included below are pups that are true sled dogs, except for the Miniature Husky. Their inclusion on this list is because they are directly and purely descended from the larger Siberian Husky. divider-dog The 10 Types of Husky Dog Breeds 1.
