About the Breed
The true Husky is the sledge dog bred in West Greenland and
Labrador, and should not be confused with other Eskimo varieties.
These dogs have outstanding powers of energy and even in this
mechanised age there are many forms of sledge dogs working
in snowbound areas where a vehicle cannot penetrate. Few dogs
have more stamina than the Siberian Husky, which was developed
as a sleigh dog by the Chukchi tribe who lived in north-east
Asia. From here, some of these dogs were taken to Alaska just
after the turn of the present century, where they won the
gruelling 400-mile (644 km) All Alaska Sweepstake Race. The
popularity of these dogs spread, helped by their appealing
temperament.
In addition to being kept just as active companions or show
dogs, however, they have also been used in recent years to
develop the sport of sled racing. This is now a popular pursuit
among owners of these Huskies, both in the United States and
in parts of Europe, including Britain. There are no restrictions
on the colouration of the Siberian Husky, and some individuals
are most attractively marked. They are also known under the
alternative name of Arctic Husky.
When allowed to become domesticated Huskies make excellent
companions and are very good natured although inclined to
be aloof and suspicious with strangers. Undoubtedly very handsome
dogs which attract attention whenever they appear at shows.
