In recent years, there have been people who are face-blind and confuse Huskies and Alaskans. In fact, their temperaments are quite different. Huskies are cute and funny, while Alaskans are the majestic boss. In addition, Alaska's character is relatively loyal and brave, and he is the eldest son of a stable landowner. As a Husky evolved from a gray wolf, of course his habits are closer to that of a wolf. However, he is also nicknamed "Er Ha". It's hard to tell that it must be the stupid son of a landlord.

Secondly, there are obvious differences in the body shapes of Huskies and Alaskans. Alaskans are relatively large, while Huskies are smaller than Alamas. One is stronger and the other looks shorter. Although they looked quite cute when they were young, it's hard to tell them apart.
