Alaskan Husky is not a breed. Did you mean Siberian Husky? Alaskan Huskies are a mix of Siberians, pointers, greyhounds, and other Nordic breeds. They are a type of dog bred for function and are not a breed.
Agreed. I work with sled dogs, and I suspect that VETSTREET meant Siberian Husky, as not a lot own Alaskan husky. 🙂
