and for the 'only huskies have blue eyes' argument i saw at the park a purebred Alaskan Malamute with BLUE EYES!! His owner told me he was a purebred.

Steele id soooooo a malamute, I should know, Im his Girl (read username)

he is a husky becaues his slim farst not soled

i think steele is a malamute and all the little things like eye color
are animation related. i mean the animaters are not going to make
every little thing PERFECT and UNDERSTANDABLE.

I think Malamute. I saw a picture of one that looked exactly like
Steele! Also, Steele was a lot bigger built than the huskies around
him. About the whole Jenna thing though, I don't think he hated all
half-breeds. He just hated all wolves and half-wolves but that's just
me. Also, huskies (atleast purebreads) only get up to 60 pounds.
Steele looked way hevier and Alaskan malamutes can get up to 95. Also,
they are more bigger and stronger built than huskies (atleast I read
in books.) Also, he probably wasn't part husky to all you who think he
is part husky part Malamute. Remember Balto said, "Since when do you
need a pedadree to help someone?" So yeah. That's what I think.

cool. i say husky!

even know steele was a evil dog in balto 1.steele is a husky
malmute he looks just like 1 but cartoon version of
course..

Well I say he's a malamute because he looks more like one.
Huskies (like what Star and Kaltag probably are) are
smaller, and Malamutes are larger and more muscular, like
Steele. It seems pretty obvious to me.

I'm
also aware of the "blue eyes" argument, and I posted an
article about that a while ago. I had found a picture of a
purebred Mal that had blue eyes.

P.S. No one
ever said that Steele didn't like mix breeds. He only hated
Balto because he was half wolf. Steele (and pretty much
everyone else) was not very fond of wolves.

I think he's an alaskan Malimute because he looks to big to
be a husky, I think he looks more like an alaskan malimute,
and I saw on another site that he was an alaskan malimute. I
could be wrong of course. I just think that all the info
points to that.

malmutes are lager than huskys but I think steele was a
husky because usually malemautes arent as tall as steele was
in the movie. So I think he is a husky to.

Hmm...I've heard he was a Siberian Husky...

i think he looks lyke a husky cuz he looks like da one on
top..........

this is a husky--looks rather like Steeles face... http://www.petsplace.co.za/husky.jpg

and look at the size of Steeles ears--quite small,like a
huskes compared to a malamutes,and that malamute looks more
grey to me..

Maybe Steel is a crossbreed who was to ashamed to tell
anyone. He could be Half Malmamute and Half Husky...

I agree he does seem like a husky. Also i read that huskies
are used for sled pulling more. (strange)

i think i go for the husky one since he's some big..
and because of the eye's
he has very light eyes
whats rli often seen by huskies though

Ok, first of all....

1.) Steel is an
Alaskan Malamute, because he's WAY to big to be a husky, and
have you looked at his paws?

2.) Steel never
said he liked only pure breeds, he just doesn't like wolves.
And besides, Jenna's pretty, so what's wrong with that?

Yes!! My thoughts exactlly! me agree.

i think he was a husky,because if he loved jenna and if he
loved her that much he'd have had pups with her,but if he
was a mamulate,and she was a husky,they'd be mixed
breeds,and steele wouldnt like that would he.

aww i think ur rite. they r so cute tho

The real-life Balto was a husky, I do believe.

Good question, I've always thought he was a malamute. Infact
I was reading something and it says he is a malamute. But,
its strange that in the movie the make up him as a malamute
and Balto a wolf/husky even though Balto was truely a
malamute himself.

Well, Demon, what's so unusual about a resident of Nome, AK
owning an Afghan or other non-spitz breeds? I just find it
incredibly weird when people wonder why those dogs are there
"because they're not Alaskan/American dogs!" But a breed's
region of origin has nothing to do with where they can live;
they could be anywhere, unless they're an extremely rare
breed that isn't found outside its native land. O.o Anyway,
you're right that they didn't make too much distinction
among the dogs except for those that are clearly
"other"--non-spitz. They may have meant for them all to be
Huskies, but then again, Universal apparently said they did
have Malamute in mind for Steele since they were larger and
thus more intimidating. *shrug* Doesn't matter; works either
way.

wow.... now I'm confused...... too bad we can't email the
animators of who made Balto and ask them to clear this up.

My opinion is that the animators didn't want to make all the
dogs differents breeds. I think that all the dogs were meant
to be huskys excluding the obvious others like Jenna's
friends or the little dog who couldn't get through the door.
Mainly back when the movie was made, huskys were mainly the
types of dogs used to pull sleds in Alaska, altough I have
no idea breeds like the afghan hound (Jenna's friend) would
be there in the first place.

Steele, a mixed breed? I dunno, seems very unlikely. Anyway,
according to something Cobalt posted, Universal actually
CONFIRMED that they intended Steele to be a Malamute--if
that's true, then yaaay, my first instinct was right! XD Of
course, I doubt it will keep some from continuing to think
he's a Husky, which is fine, in my view, since I do *not*
always take the "official" word for it, b/c sometimes I seem
to know a lot more about dogs than they do..~^

i agree with the pictures but not the part that he's all
husky. My sis says he some mixed breed. good article
though
ive been wanting to know that and have someone
reply to it

wow i cant tell the difference ethier

Gosh I've seen so many of these debates... I don't really
care >.> BUT, you have a point about Steele only liking pure
breds, he would be hypocritical if he liked Jenna a husky if
he was a malamute. On the other hand we are talking about
Steele here. Less not we forget he is a liar and a stuck up
snob... so yeah ^^
