Dogs are a man's best friend and there are many breeds of dogs that a person can choose from to be their companion. Two types of breeds are Akita's and Husky's. One of the differences between the two is the size of the dog. Between the two, Akita's are much larger.

They can grow to be as tall as 24 to 26 inches. Husky's are smaller, growing as tall as 20 to 23 1/2 inches. When it comes to their weight, Akita's are heavier. They can weigh up to 119 pounds, which is the same amount of weight that a human can weigh.

Male Akitas can even reach up to 119 pounds, which means that they can be as heavy as human beings. Husky is considered to be a family dog and can work well with human beings, but the Akita might not be that domesticated to actually enjoy human company.
