There are several different types of dogs that are commonly referred to as huskies. However, most people are referring to the Alaskan Malamute when they use this term. Huskies can be found in three different colors: white, black, and gray. They have a thick double coat of fur that helps them adapt to the cold weather in the Arctic Circle. The Alaskan Malamute is a large dog that has been used for sledding since they were originally bred by Native Americans thousands of years ago.
There are many different breeds of Huskies, but the most common are Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes. Other breeds include:
Alaskan Klee Kai
Alaskan Husky
Australian Shepherd Husky Mix
Chinook
Husky / Malamute Mix
Siberian Husky / Malamute Mix
Siberian husky/malamute mix
How Many Different Breeds of Huskies Are There
There are many different types of Huskies, which means that there may be more than one answer to this question.
The Siberian Husky is the most popular breed in the United States, with over 45,000 registrations a year. There are three recognized varieties of Siberian Husky: Alaskan Klee Kai, Siberian Igloo, and Akhal Teke. All three breeds have been accepted by the American Kennel Club as separate breeds since 1995 and 2000 respectively.
There are two types of Siberian Huskies: the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky. The Alaskan Malamute is larger, has a thicker coat, and looks more like an Arctic Wolf than a Siberian Husky. The Siberian Husky is smaller, has a thinner coat, and looks more like an Alaskan Malamute than a wolf. However, these dogs are not different breeds; they are both members of the same species (Canis Lupus).
The Siberian Husky breed was created in northeast Asia by the Chukchi people. They bred these dogs to pull sleds over long distances across frozen tundra during winter months. They also used them to herd reindeer, hunt seals and polar bears, and protect their children from predators. Today’s Siberian Huskies have been selectively bred for hundreds of years to create dogs with certain physical traits that make them ideal for working in cold climates.
Siberian huskies are medium-size dogs that weigh between 30-45 pounds when fully grown. They have thick double coats that protect them from extreme temperatures (-50 degrees F or -45 degrees C). Their coats come in several colors including black & white (usually called “arctic”), red & white

Miniature Siberian Husky
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized dog with a thick, double coat that comes in a wide variety of colors. They have almond-shaped eyes and a triangular shaped head. They are friendly toward people but can be wary of strangers. The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed with thick fur and a wolf-like appearance. They are often used as sled dogs because they are strong, intelligent and good at pulling weights over long distances. The Samoyed has a thick double coat that comes in white, cream or biscuit colors with some red markings on the face, ears and chest. Their ears are pointed and curled up at the tips like those of foxes or wolves. The Keeshond has a thick single coat that comes in shades of gray, white or cream with black markings around their eyes and nose. They have long muzzles with dark eyes and long tails that curl over their backs when they’re happy or excited. Miniature Siberian Huskies have all the same characteristics as standard sized Siberian Huskies except they are smaller than average at around 25 inches high
