Apart from the obvious physical differences what are the differences between them, temperament wise? (Im not looking to get either of the breeds but just curious)
From my experience - Mals are more laid back and less demanding, Mals can't be bothered trying to escape and run off, jump out of gardens, dig out of kennels at every chance wheras many Sibes will. Mals are more trainable Sibes are noisier Mals are less likely to get on with other dogs
Watching with interest.. As i have the pick n mix, so never know what I'll get... So far she's very small for either breed, calmer than a husky, but not as laid back as a Malamute. She's very people focused and cuddly... Don't know where that comes from, but independent enough to be happy at home when I'm at work, so far not destructive.
Mals - More Stubborn/pig headed, they like to lead a slower paced life, large Sibes - High energy, fast, small, easier to have a mixed sex pack with entire males and females
