I thought it would be neat for us to put up little facts about breeds of dogs. Please only one fact per post and elaborate as much as you can on it! If you see something interesting and wish to question it, please start a different thread on it, itd be neat to have just a ""random breed facts"" thread without all the extra discussion. I''ll start....
Did you know? The Siberian Husky is NOT the same thing as the dogs of Siberia who were created, bred, and owned by the Chukchis people? Yes Seppala brought over dogs from Siberia but once here in North America they were bred with other breeds to keep the lines going and eventually the term ""Siberian Husky"" was adopted. These days it is very rare to find a purebred Siberian Husky that looks anything like the dogs of Siberia did.
The dog closest to the front is Midstar''s Juneau, he is pretty close to what the dogs of Siberia looked like. Very rangy and snipey (more ""wolfish"" in appearance instead of the ""teddy-bears"" you see often today, mainly in the show lines - think OC)

Now compare him to Bain's Norther Hopes are High (OC's dad)
