Siberian Husky
The Siberian Husky is very similar to the Alaskan Husky, their intelligence evident when they interact with other dogs. Due to cross-breeding, a few Husky breeds share genetic traits with the extinct Taymyr wolf of North Asia. Siberian huskies are less dependent on humans, making them less protective and not great guard dogs. Oh, and this also means they often prefer to be on their own, whether that be outside in the snow, or laying on the ground rather than next to you on the couch.

Alaskan Malamute
The Alaskan Malamute is another breed meant for the cooler temperatures, but rather than pulling sleds, these big fluff balls are better at working hard for their families. This breed especially loves kids, making great family dogs. They are also very intelligent and loyal. The Alaskan Malamute, the Siberian Husky, and the Alaskan Husky all share a close genetic relationship.
