Sad it didn't work out with you.
When I was 11, we got an Alaskan Malamute, & often malamutes & huskies are confused w/ one another b/c they look so similar. You can tell them apart, however, b/c malamutes are stockier, always have gold-colored eyes, shorter legs, & their ears are slightly smaller & more to the sides of their heads instead of on top. As you now know, Siberian Huskies were bred for speed when sled-racing, while malamutes were bred for freight. They're not as fast, but they last a very long time transporting stuff across the cold north (or south, if ur in Antarctica).
Our malamute's in heaven now, tho 3 yrs later we got another doggy that's part German Shepherd, part Husky, & u can definitely see the husky in her features. She's got the long legs, the shorter, rounded muzzle, some of the facial coloring of a husky, & she holds her tail up (though it doesn't quite curl like Link's does). Actually, if you're ever interested, I put some pictures of her in my gallery
