Husky and Alaskan difference 1, size. The size of the body is the biggest difference between huskies and Alaskan sled dogs: Alaskan sled dogs are on average 10cm taller at the shoulder than huskies and weigh about 10kg. The Alaskan Sled male is about 65cm tall at the shoulder, while the Husky male is about 55cm tall at the shoulder. 2. Tail. The tail of the husky is mostly hanging down, except when wagging the tail. The Alaskan’s tail in most cases is up and curled on his back, especially when he is working. This is a good distinction. 3. eyes. The Alaskan Malamute is not acceptable with blue eyes, while the Husky (Siberian Malamute) is acceptable. 4. ears. The Alaskan Malamute’s ears are separated and to the outside back side, while the husky ears are closer together and located higher on the head. But this is not very good in practice to distinguish.
