Crossbreeds - Husky cross Alaskan malamutes commonly referred to as the “Huskamute”
Having been bred over-seas for several years, huskamutes are now becoming more popular in the UK and more common in the UK due to backyard breeding and cheaper. The huskamutes popularity stems from their good looks and gentle temperament that results from the combination of these breeds, (Alaskan malamute and Siberian husky). They are larger than their Siberian husky counterparts, somewhere between the size of a border collie and a German shepherd.
They have very strong malamutes marking, whilst retaining the ice blue eyes of the Siberian husky. They are ideal family pets but not a first time dog! With malamutes strength and stamina and the Siberian's speed and agility makes this crossbreed a great sled dog.
Temperament:
Huskamutes make great family pets, they have gentle temperaments and their intelligence makes them quick to learn. They are reportedly easier to train the Siberian huskies, their intelligence and eagerness to please certainly makes them very trainable, but due to their “pack-dog” origins, they can be stubborn from time to time ( as seems to be the case with most sled dogs).
A few other crossbreeds are the Samoyed and Siberian husky and/or Samoyed and Alaskan malamute.
When it comes to crossbreeding between Alaskan malamute, Siberian husky and Samoyed a majority of times they keep the Samoyed appearance, the white and sometimes fluffy coat and blue eyes but have a larger body of the size of the Alaskan malamute or Siberian husky.
If you decide to get a crossbreed make sure to read up on both of these breeds, how they are indoors and outdoors, other pets and/or kids. Make sure to ask the breeder about health and medical records.
Height and Weight:
Males 22 – 25 inches and weight between 30 40 kg
Females 20 23 inches and weight between 25 – 35 kg
