Siberian Husky and malamute Eight below

[Chasawala]

Beautiful dogs .. stunning presentation :D

[Cibutlamek]

What is the name of that film were taken of the scene 0:50 - 1:05 ?

[guyglowmore1]

i've lived with husky types for almost 5 decades. They're wonderful, even when mixed with other breeds. My faves are husky/wolf, husky/shep, and aussie/husky. They mix well with coyotls too. Best dog of all was the Cooteley Monster, a pure white wolf/malamute. He was a prince, a gentle giant, and a rare find. Good luck in your quest for the husky in your life. 8below was great.

[ooskulloo]

Such beautiful animals!

[SuperAndrewlamb]

I know what you mean on not being able to find a husky like yours. Mine had a mask on his face and I want to breed him but can't find one like him

[Carlit0Tit0]

I've never been able to find any malamute or huskies that look like mine. In pics or videos, wtf?? Lol, cool vid btw

[Lokiwisper]

I have one of your vids as a favourite "Siberian Husky and malamute Eight below"  could you tell me what the music is please. Love the whole compilation. :D

[yorickm]

@Lokiwisper

Clearly you are not a big fan of the Lord of the Rings franchise ;)

This songs is featured when at the end of the third film; the return of the king

It's called: into the west.

Please look at the bonus dvd's to see de deeper meaning of this song!

[05allex]

here at home, we all like Husky, I really wanted one, but I'm in Brazil, and I think they like more than cold, and I'm not sure a Husky could live here. :'<

[boyzjb89]

they're ALL huskies u stupid ass!

[22250rmntn]

@boyzjb89

Wrong fucktard! There were 6 Siberian Huskies and 2 Alaskan Malamutes. Do some research on a topic that you clearly know nothing about before you comment.  That way you won't sound like a complete idiot.

[boyzjb89]

@22250rmntn well sorry damn u don't need 2 b all dramatic bout it! btw I own a husky so yeah i would know 4 sure... anyway what's up!

[agentscott95]

[sk8erboy090]

@flutep dude it's just ur sis

[safebux]

I will be getting a Siberian Husky next week, actually! She is the granddaughter of the star dogs in Eight Below!

[hampuz1]

holy cow its cold out!

[Darkrunner1975]

They can adapt to warmer weather, but do better in cold weather.

I will never forget seeing a husky in an idling car in Atlanta.

Those people need to be punched in the face. Repeatedly.

[fortynineohfive]

That's a sad movie. :|

[MDthornton83]

Beautiful dogs!

[pheniks0]

i love this movie, brings me to tears everytime :P

[kixigvak]

My Siberian's idea of a morning walk is a 30 mile run on the ice. That's assuming it's 20 below zero. If it's warmer, not so far. I don't run her when it's colder than 40. She sleeps outside in her dog house, except when it's really cold. Then I let her sleep in the kunnichuk, where she has a bed. She's a terrible guard dog, and she likes to beat up on other dogs. But she's loving and so smart...I've never seen such a smart dog.

[robertdolivera]

shit im a 28 year old guy but this movie made me cry lol

[aspenedgewalker]

great movie

[kathykisslight]

What a wonderful movie it is!! I cried my heart out....

[TheTruePunjabi]

Would they die if they life in England due to it's not as cold?

[GoneToTheSnowDogs]

No, huskies can adapt.  Just like any other dog, don't leave them out in the heat for extended periods of time.

[silencegalore]

i live in california.... it never snows.... and i dont think they hate it... they love the beach

i have 2

[ilovetotwirl123]

@TheTruePunjabi I live in SW england and have a Huskamute, a Husky Malamute cross. It runs around in warm weather and as long as it has access to water, either through a bottle/ container etc or a river to cool down in it seems to be fine. If it is really hot they could be exercised early morning/ late evening when it's cooler.

[1492oceanblue2]

Beautiful dogs and lovely photography, shows them for the magical animals there truly are.

[circuitmob888]

i have a husky dog she is tan color ...she loooks just like the tan clor dog in this video ...is she a malamute or a siberian husky???

[yorickm]

@circuitmob888

You don't even know what doy you have ?! omg...

You can't tell by the color if it's a husky or a malamute!

[circuitmob888]

i never said you could tell by its color what kind of dog u have.DUMB ASS i wanted to know if the tan dog in the video was a mal or a siberian huskey .when i bought my huskey they told me it was a siberian huskey .. but my friend has a siberian huskey also ..and they dont look the same his dog is more skinny/diff build.. has a longer nose and is very hyper ... mine is bigger build and has a shorter nose /also very calm dog. and when i read up on malamutes it matches the discription.

[hezzzzzzzzzz21]

u can by the size tho mals are bigger

[knightace2002]

@yorickm u can tell by the shape of the tail and the snout not by color if u try u will likely be wrong these are husky sled dogs and this movie made me ball like a baby ;((((((

[seventhSabra]

@yorickm No, color won't determine whether or not it is a Husky or Maly. Maly's will never have blue eyes, Huskies usually do. Weight, facial/cranial structure, eye shape, intelligence, strength, speed and size are how you determine the two breeds. Basically, if it looks like a wolf-it's a Husky, if it looks more like a bear-it's a Malamute.

[Shadow9841]

@yorickm you tell by its eyes i think it was

[lovedogies4ever]

@circuitmob888 a siberian husky

[TyTaxiCab]

@circuitmob888 if i has brown eyes, its a malamute. If it has blue eyes its a husky.

[GhostKat]

@circuitmob888  siberian huskies have green,blue or one of each eye

color. An Alaskan Malamute is always a dark brown eye

[Aldivine]

@circuitmob888 Malamutes are bigger and Brown eyes. Huskies are more active and Clear eyes(blue/white) .. hope it helps.

[CuruniGwendolyn]

@circuitmob888 The colour doesn't really matter, but the tan coloured dog in the movie is a malamute.

[JN2626]

@circuitmob888 Most likely a Husky, however it could be an Alaskan Husky.

[bloodyflora]

@circuitmob888 you can tell by the tail or eyes color

if your dog tail's is roll over to the back

she is an alaskan malamute

but if the tail is always lay down

she is the husky

and there's no blue eyes alaskan...

sorry poor english

[stoeberhund]

Could it be that the dog which played max in eight below also played the dog damon in snow dogs?

[yorickm]

@stoeberhund

That is correct =)

[GoneToTheSnowDogs]

Yes it's the same acting dog.

[katie9583]

isn't this out a film?

[VVolfat]

yes from Eight Below :) Realy great movie if u like huskies :) recomend it

[Rull3n1990]

Name of the song please?

[r4ptur3B]

Annie Lennox - Into the West. very beautiful song!

[k1w1c4m]

just wanna know, which on is less aggressive toward other animals (ex: cats and dogs..)

thx!

[yorickm]

I think that would be the husky. But there is not a big difference between them.

I live at home with my husky, a cat, and a sheep.

At first the cat was scared shitless, but now they play together :D

I was a little scared what she would do with the sheep, but it turns out that the sheep is not afraid of my husky, and she has not made any attempt on attacking her (yet)

[floresm08]

well, I have a alaskan malamute/husky but he`s so aggresive i can`t even take him for a walk, he would attack unknown people or dogs.

[AintItSwede]

If you manage to get a malamute aggressive towards people you've failed miserably and you should either get some serious help or put the dog down.

I've got two of them BTW

[Rull3n1990]

Hey there husky lover :) Could you please add the song in describtion, or tell me where you got it from?

Thanks in advance and best regards.

- Rull3n

[melancholymistress89]

It's called Into the West by Annie Lennox. It was on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack ^_^

[Bingo80Bingo]

cool vid

[500husky]

i have huskies and malamutes

[324754]

Oh ok... tnx for correcting me!

i get the feeling that you're an expert in huskies and malamutes.. so my question for you is who's more friendly and warm to his master between the two??? (tnx in advance):D

[yorickm]

Well, I'm not an expert, just an owner of a siberian husky. Before I took one I did a lot of research about the the huky etc. I need to know if I was able to proper care of a husky.

I have no experience what so ever with malamutes, but what I'v heard of owners who have both mals and huskies is that mals are a bit tougher to keep (they are more stubborn etc. than a husky

So my first choice to answer your question would be the husky, but I'm not an expert on it

You're planning to get a husky ?

[324754]

i'm thinking of buying a dog: a husky or a malamute.. but i have couple of issues to think about 1.i live in israel, so i have the mediterranean climate which i think the dog wont be so delighted to live in 2.i'm going to college next year (10/2010) so the dog will be strapped in teh same spot for about a whole week (until i come back home) and i also think these dogs (like most dogs) dont like that ... (and BTW you are an expert to me, it's realtive ;p)

[324754]

the dog at 0:55 is a malamute not a husky right??

huskies look more aggressive i think.. the eyes!!!

[yorickm]

Nope, that is a pure bred husky. And no, you can't tell if it's a husky or malamute just by looking at the eyes!!

[324754]

Oh really?!! ^o)

my assumption actually was based on a piece or information i heard from a professional source actually.. and it says that huskies have blue eyes when malamutes have brown ones!!!! so i'm shocked hearing you say that that dog is a pure husky!

[yorickm]

The source is wrong!

Husky's can have brown eyes as well!

Their are even huskies with a brown and a blue eye!

As I said before, you can't tell just by looking at the eyes....

Malamutes and huskies are different in size and malamutes are more muscular, there for they can develop more instant power but huskies are for longer distances

[blazing88]

No you dumb ass.. i am a proud owner of 2 husky and a malamute.

AND Yes. its true to a certain point that husky may have blue and brown eyes. But most its 70% blue for husky.

But MALAMUTE if it is a PURE BRED! its 100% will be BROWN. ITS 100%.. LET ME SAY IT AGAIN it WOULD BE 100% brown.

and its true that malamute is more muscular as their weight is up to 150 pounds whereas husky is from 60 - 80 pound.

I have 4 artic dogs, so Yeah i think i am pretty good at it. 1 of them is american eskim

[yorickm]

Dude! relax!

If you read my comment again you can see that I've never said that mals can have blue eyeys! All I said was, that huskies can have brown eyes!

So for the next time, before freaking out, take a breath, read it again and then comment ;-)

regards

[LunaTemari]

can I have the title of the song please?

[zeroprocent]

0:53 fantastic shot

[kiwikarateguy]

I love max!! look at his eyes!!! and his jet black coat!!! i want to get a pup just like him!! ill train him every day!! can these dogs handle warm conditions!? i liv in australia!??

[yorickm]

They can handle it.

But I see that my husky doesn't like the summers here in the netherlands.

So think about that carefuly ;-)

good luck

[kiwikarateguy]

btw, im not one of those people who buy dogs just for their looks and never get off their arse to even take em for a walk! i do martial arts! and a siberian husky would be an excellent training partner! do not assume im a lazy pet owner, every dog i have owned, i teach them disiplin respect teamwork and dailly excercise!! all my dogs have looked at me as their leader!unlike those fat bastards who own these dogs that are too lazy to take the dog to the park! the dog hates their owner cause of it!

[kiwikarateguy]

can sum 1 please tell me what breed the dog is at 0:56? do huskys and malamutes have that same evil looking face?

[yorickm]

That's Maya.

She's a purebreed siberian husky.

Just like 6 out of 8 dogs in eight below.

2 are malamutes.

[kiwikarateguy]

oh i see, thanks! i watched the movie a few days ago and i loved it!! nearly cried lol oh and my favourite is MAX! i want to get one just like it!! is it possible for sum 1 from Australia to buy a pup that looks like max? please i really need to know! ill do anything to have one!!

[yorickm]

It is possible, but every husky looks (and is) different !

It's wrong to just buy a husky for their looks. Many huskies end up bad because people don't know how to raise and keep a sibierian husky!

They require lots of attention, need to go out many times a day and are very stubborn.

So they are not for everyone ;-)

[luisronaldofigo]

nice music :) ill buy one maybe two since they are cheap where i live :)

[cryoarc]

love this video

[KarmicOmen]

Malamutes (Mals) are Alaskan - bred for strength, Huskies are Siberian - bred for speed; both bred for endurance. Mals are pretty big dog, with huge snowshoe paws. Mal's eyes are always brown. Mals weigh 85-125 pounds / 25-28 inches; huskies weigh 45-60 pounds / 21-21 inches. There is always confusion over these breeds, but physical traits clearly show they are differeny. Both are gorgeous and sweet natured. Mals love people so much they would let someone rob your house.

[yorickm]

True,

But it's the same with a husky. They are too as sweet as candy. lol.

They truly are great dogs and friends.

I have a husky, and I love here so much. She turns every bad day into a good one.

Later in my life, there are definitly comming more huskies and maybe even mals.

You own any of these type of dogs ?

[KarmicOmen]

yorickm: I love Siber and Mallie vocalizations (Sibers seem to be more so)! I've owned several German Shepherds; the oversized, 30" at shoulder, over 130 LB kind that hailed from Germany/Czech. My neighbors have 2 Sibers, though, and I can't help but stare at them; they have azure eyes! Sibers will, as you said, let someone rob a house, just like Mallies -- or lick 'em to death! Neither dog guards well, but it's OK - nowadays bitten criminals file lawsuits and win! *rolls eyes in disgust*

[tyrant1505]

Lovely post from a cracking film, thankyou! Check our "mini"-Shadow lookalike LuiLui uploads! Those Shadow mal's (they usee quite a few double's on set too didn't they) are magnificent, as all the sled dogs are.

[yorickm]

Thank you!

Yeah, malls are great to :D

I love snowdogs/huskies in generel, wether it's a malamute, sib. husky, samojeed or whatever. I love them.

There's something mystic about them, can't explain but I love it! I'll never have another breed than sib. huskies. Great friends :D

[siberiantiger0]

Agreed. Malamutes are usually much larger than huskies. It is sometimes hard to tell if you are only looking at the face, but when you compare the bodies, it is very easy to differentiate. Huskies seem lean and have very sharp markings on their coats, whereas malamutes seem fluffy but actually it's all muscle. Markings are a bit dull on the coat of malamutes' body. Still, both are awesome breeds.

[tyrant1505]

Very much so. The name "Husky" is used much more re sled dogs here in the UK, indeed, when a youngster says about our mal LuiLui "wooaahh look, a snowdog" and the parents reply smugly, "no, it's a HUSKY!" We love putting them right and stating the kids spot on! Both lovely dogs but we love mals' as errr, we have one, ha,ha! The other BIG difference to the eye is the BROADER skull of the mals, although some, like Luilui, are a tad thinner.

[siberiantiger0]

Yes, on average, mal's skull is very wide compared to a lot of working breeds.

[arisvakos]

in every dog, you can see their life in their eyes.. and the first dog had a fucking torture life!!!

[yorickm]

And why was his life torture :S ???

[arisvakos]

because they force them to do things...

the siberian haskeys have a hard training...

from the day they open their eyes until they die..

[yorickm]

Bullshit!

Siberian Huskies were, long ago, used by Indians as there working dogs, that's what the breed is created for.

So letting horses carry stuff is torture to ??

It's in their blood to pull sleds and stuff. Cleary you do not know what you're talking about. When I get the rope to connect the huskies to the sled they get very excited. They love to run and work.

Go home hypocrit...

[arisvakos]

it's just my opinion dude....

i know some things aboute dogs...

and i have seen a lot of docimanders...

they exited, yes....

but they are hard trained to do that as perfect as they can...

sorry if i am wrong...

[yorickm]

Well,

I know some things to about dogs and I own them ;)

And yes, the huskies train for sledraces.

But hard training is something TOTALY different then torture (what you said in your first message!)

If you wanna achief a goal, most of the time you gotta work hard ;), works for everyting!

And working/training hard is not a bad thing!

[FF5rocksMYsocks]

8 below made me cry lol

[chanilovesdogs]

i really want one

[yorickm]

Then go get one ;)

But make sure you can take care of a siberian

husky !

good luck

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

My fam used to have a big 80 lb. Quebec Husky as well that was U.S. Army trained. It would do things that would blow your mind. Bottom line tho, having a Jack Russell Terrier and a Husky is the best thing ever. Neither of them ever became all that destructive, as I used to have a cat that put the fear of God into all of my dogs too lol. There's nothing like some authority to keep the two wild pups in line.

[yorickm]

Very nice!

Yeah they do can be rough and wild sometimes but that is one thing I encouroge my dog with. I took a husky because of their highly energetic behavior. Some say dogs resemble their owners. I agree with that. I can't sit still for like 5 minutes. I have to move. That's why I fitness 3 times a week and work after school. And soon, I hope, will join the dutch airforce for some more action.

But offcourse I 2 like the way sib huskies look. So wolf-like, so wild, so like nature :D

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

I have two dogs, one's a Jack Russell, the other's an Alaskan Husky/Akita Mix. The Alaskan is ALL Husky, except for her highly territorial attitude, & wariness of strangers. The JRT trained her a lot, so I basically have a Husky half the time, & a 45 lb. Jack the rest of the time lol. The Husky loves the snow, & the colder it gets the happier she is. She can pull me all over the place when she walks with the JRT, because at that point she believes her and the Jack are the lead dogs on-line lol.

[ringostarr37]

we just got a husky/shepherd mix a month ago from a rescue and he is the most gorgeous thing you have ever seen

[yorickm]

very nice :)

Yeah, a husky can turn a bad day into a good one, just the way they look.

My husky turns here head sometimes so funny she puts a smile on my face :)

They really are fantastic dogs !

[GreySkies94]

I used to have a Siberian husky. It's been nearly a year since she died and I still miss her soo much. D: And yeah, they can be a big pain. Lolz.

I'd like to try owning an Alaskan malamute sometime. My dad used to have one. He said they are awesome dogs. :]

[smckey]

I have had 2 huskies in my life. I have my second, Saphie, now. She is a 18 month old parti-eyed sweetheart. After I watched 8 below, I had to go out to her yard and hug her for about half an hour.  Your right, sillybeau, a pain in the butt, but worth it when you get home and see that look on their face. Their eyes can fix a screwed up day.

[yorickm]

Ow cool :D.Yeah, I have one myself. 4,5 months old :). True, sometimes a pain in the ass but worth it in the end. The truly are amazing dogs and friends!

And you are right again, that look in here face can turn a bad day into a good one. Mine has those gourgeous blue/white ice eyes :D

All the best with your husky ;-)

[sillybeau]

i got a ice eyed white husky for free..a lady was moving and i took her : )

i adore my husky, i don't know what i would do without cassi. she means so much to me even though she's a HUUUGEE PAIN!

did u get your husky?

[myhorsemystic]

realli well trand dogs thorug

[cartat12]

true.. but it was a somewat sad movie

[yorickm]

Also true, I now have my own siberian husky. When I watch the movie now I have to cry :|

I never want to lose my husky, they truly are the best kind of dogs I know. Sometimes a pain in the ass, but I love them !

[rojenmerve]

i love this film and i love my husky dude iris

[rasennaruto128963]

Nice man!Gratz on your puppies!I got a husky named Lukey.O ya thx for the comment!

[yorickm]

Nice name. Is it a male/female ? This week they will be born. I'm so excited :D The chances are more then 75% that the pup will have blue eyes. Mother is all blue, father has one blue eye and a brown eye with a blue spot in it:P.

Good luck with the dog!

[yorickm]

plz comment people, thnx!
