How to choose a Husky

1. Eyes: A Husky's eyes are usually brown, light brown or blue. Light blue eye color is a common eye color, but there are exceptions: a dog may have one eye that is brown or light brown while the other is blue, or one eye may be blue while the iris of the other is mottled. Among the dog breeds commonly kept by people, the Husky is one of the few breeds that can have two eyes of different colors, and it is also one of the few breeds whose common eye color is blue.

2. Ears: A Husky's ears are triangular, with dense fur. The outer ear fur color is mostly similar to the body coat color, while the inner ear is mostly white. They are medium in size and generally erect. Compared with the Alaskan Malamute and the Samoyed, the ears are positioned slightly closer together, which is also a very intuitive basis for identifying the breed by appearance.

3. Tail: A Husky's tail is like a brush, with a shape similar to a fox's tail, usually in an upward sickle shape. The fur on the tail is usually longer and stiffer than the body coat, and it is not as soft as the body coat, and it wags powerfully. When happy, it will show tail-chasing behavior; when afraid or attacking, the tail will arch and tuck between the hind legs; when puzzled, the tail may even swing up and down.

4. Coat: A Husky's coat consists of two layers: a dense, cashmere-like undercoat and a long, relatively coarse topcoat containing short, straight guard hairs, and it sheds its undercoat only once a year. In addition, frequent brushing is not necessary, because dirty fur will naturally fall off, and bathing is usually not essential either. Moreover, this dog will often carefully clean its own fur like a cat. A healthy Husky has no body odor.

5. Nose: Like all dogs, a Husky's nose is usually cool and moist. In some cases it can show the so-called “snow nose” or “winter nose” phenomenon, caused by the lack of sunlight in winter, which causes the nose (or part of it) to fade to brown or pink, and it returns to normal when summer arrives.

Extra: Differences between the Husky and the Alaskan Malamute

1. Eyes: The Husky's eyes are brown or blue. The Alaskan Malamute's eyes are only brown.

2. Coat color: The Husky's coat colors are gray-white, black-white, and coffee-white. The Alaskan Malamute's coat colors are black-white, red-white, and gray-white.

3. Coat texture: The Husky's coat is slightly short and the fur is relatively hard. The Alaskan Malamute has long, soft hair.

4. Ears: The Husky's ears are set relatively close together, with a smaller curve at the ear tips, appearing triangular. The Alaskan Malamute's ears are set wider apart, with a large curve at the ear tips, forming a semicircle.

5. Forehead: The color distribution on the Husky's forehead and between the eyebrows is generally three flames or peach face. The shape on the Alaskan Malamute's forehead and between the eyebrows is generally peach face, one flame, or two flames.

6. Body size: The Husky is medium-sized. The Alaskan Malamute is large-sized.

7. Intelligence: The Husky is much smarter than the Alaskan Malamute. In the worldwide dog obedience and intelligence rankings, the Husky ranks 45th, and the Alaskan Malamute ranks 50th.

8. Tail: When relaxed, the Husky's tail hangs naturally, relatively close to a wolf's, and when excited or running, the tail is raised, but the tip of the tail always remains horizontal. The Alaskan Malamute's tail is thick at the base, with abundant fur, always curled, and the tail tip curves close to the base of the tail.
