Husky puppy above average?

I've recently acquired a 3 1/2 month old Husky puppy, his old owner lived in an apartment and couldn't handle the energy level. I weighed him today and he was 28 pounds and only an inch or 2 shorter than my 2 year old border collie. He's not overweight, I can feel is ribs appropiately and he's got a nice waist line. He has lots of room to run out here in Wyoming and I carefully monitor his puppy food intake (super premium, lamb and rice large breed puppy food, no corn allowed). So my question is, is this normal for a male Husky to be nearly 30 pounds and not even 4 months old yet? Or did I end up getting a Malamute? Husky's are a new breed to me, I've had Rott's, GSD's, an Aussie/Border collie mix in the past, and have a border collie right now, so I'm still learning. Anyone have a similar experience with their Husky or Malamute?
