DescriptionThe Labrador Husky greatly resembles the wolf. It is slightly smaller
than the Canadian Eskimo Dog and the Alaskan Malamute, but larger than
the Samoyed and Siberian Huskies.
OriginThe Labrador Husky is native to Coastal Labrador. It belongs to the
was most likely brought to Labrador by the Thule Inuit around 1300 AD
and introduced to the Dorsets. The dogs were used as sled dogs to carry
heavy loads. Inuits first lived in Alaska (900 - 1000 AD). Over the
centuries, the Labrador's ancestor had become cut off, geographically,
from the other northern breeds. To maintain the desired qualities of
strength, vigor, stamina and intelligence inherent in their dogs, the
descendants of the Thule Inuit had allowed the Labrador to breed with
the native wolf populations. This practice continued until the
invention of the snowmobile, when dogs were no longer needed to pull
heavy loads.
TemperamentThe Labrador Husky is an unknown and often misunderstood breed. It is
not a mix between a Labrador and a Husky, but a pure bred dog native of
Coastal Labrador. It is similar in a lot of ways to the wolf. They do
not bark, but can howl like a wolf.
