There are many mix breed dogs that can be mixed including Samoyed, Norwegian Elkhound, Alaskan Malamute, Etc. So an Alaskan Husky is not a pure bred dog.
An Alaskan Husky is a mixed breed that came out of the original Indian village dogs in Alaska and Canada. Famous mushers such as George Attla, Gareth Wright, and a bunch of others established the “breed” by setting up their own breeding programs and paying strict attention to pedigrees. These dogs vary in body type, color, disposition, and size due to the needs of the musher. Often one will find an occasional Greyhound, Borzoi, GSP, or Labrador thrown in for good measure. 7.
