DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT DOGS
From my page a day calendar.....
Although they have both run in sled dog races (as have many other breeds, including Poodles!), the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky were originally bred for different work. The larger-boned Malamute pulled sleds loaded with heavy supplies, while the lighter Husky transported people at a faster clip.

you ever read about the great experiment last century using
Newfoundlands as sled dogs? Needless to say, it was less than
successful!.
