Wolves, Akitas & Huskies


Akitas are related to wovles. Just like Huskies and Malamutes. But Akitas DNA is the closest to wovles. But Akitas don't howl, Huskies and Malamutes have been known to do that. A Malamute howl is identical to a wolf, you can't tell them apart. (I read this on the internet). All three of these big breeds don't do well around smaller animals. That's why you cannot have them off leash. All these breeds can work hard and like to have a job. Akitas and Malamutes can get over 100 lbs. Huskies tend to be smaller and quicker, but still pretty big dogs. My Aunt got to meet some Alaskan Huskies that were racing in the Iditarod. (see picture). Alot of the old sled dogs become household pets. But they need a lot of exercise.

Akitas are nice to people, but not all Akitas are nice to people. Sometimes they don't like strangers. And they can destroy smaller animals. I have seen huskies and got to meet one it is cool and fun but I like akitas the best of all the
dogs. It's just neat that there are some similairities.
