Good Luck Tara!!
Oh and to the OP..if the only difference you can see between an NI and a Mal is that they are darker and heavier built can I suggest..."you shoulda gone to Specsavers!!!!!"

I know what you mean about coats as well, there not as thick as a mal but its hard to explain.
I actaully love both breeds but I wouldnt have an NI until they sort out the in fighting and health.
Ok ZB I'm on my way is there room for another under the bed.

Right, for the OP. Hope this helps. These aren't any particular images, and dont know who they belong to, just ones I grabbed from Google, which is what most people tend to do to show examples.
Siberian Husky
Alaskan Malamute
Northern Inuit
I'm sure you can see what I mean by the 'obvious' coat difference between Mals and NIs.
Hope that helps.

if you are thinking of buying a Malamute and go to a good breeder you will know pretty much what the dog will look like when fully grown / what sort of traits and temperament to expect/any health problems the breed is susceptible too .With a new breed like Inuits, a puppy could grow to resemble a number of breeds in looks and temperament because the 'Inuit breed' has no recognizable conformity as yet (look at lots of pictures of them and you will see what I mean) and it is not easy to determine possible health problems.

Tis what put me off the NI was the fighting hun and the not knowing for definate, I would rather it was written in stone than only being told.

Just know that with any new pup you need to know what you are getting into. Health and background is essential to know of parents, g-parents and gg- grandparents etc. Also i would want to see proof of hip scores and other relevant health tests done etc.
