Alaskan Husky Breed Description

The Alaskan Husky is basically a mixed-breed dog, in which northern or husky-type ancestry, such as the Siberian Husky or the traditional Alaskan village dog, predominates. It falls short of being a breed in that there is no preferred type and no restriction as to ancestry; it is defined only by its purpose, which is that of a highly efficient sled dog. The Alaskan is the sled dog of choice for world-class dogsled racing sprint competition. Alaskan huskies (at least those used for speed racing) are moderate in size, averaging perhaps 46 to 50 pounds (21 to 23 kg) for males and 38 to 42 pounds (17 to 19 kg) for females. They often resemble racing strains of the Siberian Husky breed (which is undeniably a major component of the Alaskan Husky genetic mix) but are usually taller and leggier with more pronounced tuck-up. Dogs are bred for stamina, strength, speed, and endurance. It is essential for a sled dog to want to work. And for dogs meeting many new people, the dogs must not be aggressive towards people.

Breeders are finding this produces a nice looking dog (bit of bias here) that has an excellent temperament combined with a strong physical body.

Some breeders are specialising in this mix and have come up with the names Huskamute and Snowdogs (most likely from the film) .  I personally don't like the name Huskamute and prefer Alaskan Husky until a better name is thought of and recognised as the official name.
