History of the Breed in America
History
Siberian husky were developed by the nomadic Chukchi, an Inuit people of eastern Siberia, for pulling sleds, herding reindeer, and as a watchdog. They were the perfect working dogs for the harsh Siberian condition. These dogs were essential to the humans survivals they performed vital tasks, which included accompanying the hunters, but all of the Northern dogs were similar in the sense of being Jackal-type dogs that, at one time, had been crossbred with Arctic wolves. Of course, this was thousands of years ago, and through careful breeding and maintenance of pure bloodlines, the “Wolf” was breed out of the dog. The pure-bred Siberian Husky of today is not wild wolf hybrid, as anyone close to the breed will attest, but a beautiful, friendly, tractable, wonderful dog in both pet and working capacities.
