The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of domestic dog ("Canis lupus familiaris") originally bred for hauling heavy freight because of their strength and endurance, and later a sled dog.
 They are similar to other arctic breeds, such as the Greenland Dog, Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky, and the Samoyed.
The Akita (秋田犬 , Akita-inu, Akita-ken ) is a large breed of dog originating from the mountainous northern regions of Japan.
 There are two separate varieties of Akita: a "Japanese" strain, commonly called "Akita Ken" in Japan, "Akita Inu" ("inu" means "dog" in Japanese), or "Japanese Akita"; and an "American" strain, known as the "Akita" or "American Akita".
 The Japanese strain called the Akita Inu comes in a narrow palette of colors, with all other colors considered atypical of the breed, while the American strain known simply as the Akita comes in all dog colors.
 The Akita has a short double-coat similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky, but long-coated dogs can be found in many litters due to a recessive gene.
Paws or Paws, the Husky is the current mascot of the Northeastern University Huskies.
 Northeastern debuted the Siberian husky as the school's official mascot and school's nickname on March 4, 1927.
The Tamaskan dogs are a crossbreed, specifically designed by dog fanciers, beginning in Finland, to morphologically resemble a wolfdog.
 It is a cross of several standardized breeds of the sled dog type like the Siberian Husky and the Alaskan Malamute, and its bloodlines may sometimes include a small amount of wolfdog stock.
 s of 2013, Tamaskans have not been recognized as a breed in its own right by any major breed registries or kennel clubs, only being recognized by two minor registries, the American Rare Breed Association, and the related Kennel Club of the United States of America, and by Tamaskan-specific breeder clubs.
 It is a highly versatile dog that can excel in agility, obedience and working trials.
 Although there are a little over 600 Tamaskans worldwide registered in these organizations, increasing interest has resulted in their spread throughout continental Europe, the UK, United States, Canada, and Australia.
A perianal gland tumor is a type of tumor found near the anus in dogs that arises from specialized glandular tissue found in the perineum.
 Perianal glands do not exist in cats.
 It is also known as a hepatoid tumor because of the similarity in cell shape to hepatocytes (liver cells).
 It is most commonly seen in intact (not neutered) dogs and is the third most common tumor type in intact male dogs.
 There are two types of perianal gland tumors, perianal gland adenomas, which are benign, and perianal gland adenocarcinomas, which are malignant.
 Both have receptors for testosterone.
 Perianal gland adenomas are three times more likely to be found in intact male dogs than females, and perianal gland adenocarcinomas are ten times more common in male dogs than females.
 The most commonly affected breeds for adenomas are the Siberian Husky, Cocker Spaniel, Pekingese, and Samoyed; for adenocarcinomas the most commonly affected breeds are the Siberian Husky, Bulldog, and Alaskan Malamute.
The Siberian Husky (Russian: Сибирский хаски) is a medium size working dog breed that originated in north-eastern Siberia, Russia.
 The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family.
 It is recognizable by its thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings.
Child of the Wolves is a children's novel, published in 1996, about a Siberian husky puppy that joins a wolf pack.
 It was written by Elizabeth Hall, wife of "Island of the Blue Dolphins" author, Scott O'Dell.
The Pembroke Welsh Corgi ( ; Welsh for "dwarf dog") is a cattle herding dog breed which originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
 It is one of two breeds known as a Welsh Corgi.
 The other is the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and both descend from the line that is the northern spitz-type dog (examples include that of the Siberian Husky).
 Another theory is that Pembrokes are descended from the Swedish Vallhunds, which were crossed with the local Welsh herding dogs.
 The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is the younger of the two Corgi breeds and is a separate and distinct breed from the Cardigan.
 The corgi is one of the smallest dogs in the Herding Group.
 Pembroke Welsh Corgis are famed for being the preferred breed of Queen Elizabeth II, who has owned more than 30 during her reign.
 These dogs have been favored by British royalty for more than seventy years, but among British Commoners, have recently fallen into decline in terms of popularity and demand.
The Andalusian hound (Spanish: "Podenco andaluz" ) is a dog breed originating in Spain, especially Andalusia.
 These dogs are similar to other Iberian breeds such as the Ibizan Hound, the Portuguese Podengo, the Podenco Canario and the Maneto.
 In the Iberian Peninsula there are cave paintings representing dogs with a strong resemblance to these races.
 Dogs very similar to these, including the Cirneco dell'Etna and Pharaoh Hound, have been bred in much of the Mediterranean basin since ancient times.
 Despite the widespread belief that the podencos were introduced into Spain some 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians, recent genetic studies have concluded that these dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with other European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than the others.
The Cirneco dell'Etna (] ; plural "Cirnechi" [tʃirˈnɛki] ) is a small breed of dog originally from Italian island of Sicily.
 This hound was historically used to hunt rabbits and can work for hours without food or water.
 The breed also has a keen sense of smell and is primarily built for endurance over harsh terrain such as that of Mount Etna.
 It is the smallest of the Mediterranean island hunting hounds, the others being the Pharaoh Hounds and Ibizan Hounds.

Question: Which dog is larger, the Cirneco dell'Etna or the Siberian Husky?
