What breed of dog is Nanook?
Nanook, played by a beautiful dog named Cody, is an Alaskan Malamute. The two breeds do look quite similar; they are both sled dogs and both Arctic breeds. But the Malamute almost always has brown eyes (Id say about 99% of the time), and the Malamute is a larger dog with a broader head than the Siberian Husky. Malamutes ears are set farther apart on their heads and are rounder at the tips than Huskies. Incidentally, its been said that Cody went on to play Wolf in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. When he passed away, his son Chaz continued in the role.
