Answer
Yes male Siberians are bigger then Females. Is she blowing  her coat right now. If she is Mixed with sledding Siberian lines they have very short coats. It is normal for Huskies to be thin (exspecally from sledding lines) Huskies do not normaly totaly mature till they are 4 years old, that is when they are totly filled out. Sounds like she is apperas more Sled line husky then Malamute.
