Alaskan Huskies - History

Alaskan Husky Dogs are aptly named due to their origin in Alaska and for dog sled racing. The Alaskan Husky is not really considered a breed of dog anywhere in the world. It is more of a type of dog. The Alaskan Husky breed is very young and because of the different lines of blood it possesses, it is difficult to characterize the dog into a standard breed. Many dog sled racers consider the Alaskan Husky as a hybrid dog. Some may call it a Siberian Husky with part Setter, wolf, Sight Hound or any other breed of dog that may give it speed and endurance for racing. There are many different mixes of dogs that make up the Alaskan Husky family. There is the Mackenzie River Husky, Huslia Husky, the Aurora Husky, Indian Village Dogs and so on. With so many different types of these sled dogs, they all have the common fact that they were originated in Alaska.

Alaskan Huskies - General Description

The Alaskan Husky Dog has a deep slim chest, long legs and can be one color or multicolor. They are mainly black, gray and white but can also be red or brown. All Alaskan Huskies have heavy undercoats to deal with the low temperatures of their environments. The Alaskan Husky is extremely athletic and has very large thigh muscles. They often have a curved sled dog tail and can have blue or brown eyes, or sometimes one of each, like some Siberian Huskies. Usually the ears stand straight up but in a few cases they lay flat. This breed is popular in sled dog racing since it is faster, stronger and has more endurance than the Siberian Husky Dog.

Alaskan Huskies - Temperamental Traits

Unlike some of the Alaskan Huskies' cousins such as the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute, it tends to be more reserved and calm as a pet. To most, this can be interpreted as being shy. An Alaskan Husky is very friendly to people it knows and is very curious toward people it does not know. The fact that the Alaskan Huskies are usually positive to all strangers makes them one of the worst watchdogs. Alaskan Husky Dogs rarely bark either, they usually howl.
