Question: what is the difference between a malamute and a giant malamute?
Answer: Appearance and Size A male Malamute stands at 25 inches tall and weighs between 85-100 pounds. Females are slightly shorter at 23 inches and should weigh around 75 pounds. You can occasionally find 'giant' Malamutes that weigh around 140 pounds, however due to their size they often suffer with Hip Dysplasia.
