Balto's bigger and less fluffy.

True but in a book I was reading It had a copy of Balto's breed certfication which is a certifacte proving you bought the dog. On it it say's somthing about the breed of dog. It said Sweddish Laphund.

There is some debate to it. The majority says he wasn't wolf, but huskies are very related to that branch... So either way, it's very likely. But the "Balto is half-wolf, and outcast" was made for the story for the movie.

Balto was a black and white Malamute

Balto was a pure dog, he had no wolf in him. I'm not stating a pure Siberian Husky because the Sibe was not a recognised breed at that time (even though that is what he was).

He was too small to be a Malamute

I bet the book depended on the movie,though I really like Balto to be a half wolf.

Woah !!! Awsome find! This probably puts a whole new twist on alot of peoples balto knowings!

Who knows, with all the people in the world and their opinions. Most likely their will always be people who say different thing unless you have true scientific data

I hope this isn't out of topic or anything but can someone please explain to me what is the difference between a husky and a malamute? Someone told me that there is a difference but he didn't explain so well.
