| Origin |
The Labrador Husky is native to Coastal
Labrador. It belongs to the northern group of dogs, which include the
Siberian Husky, Samoyed,
Alaskan Malamute and Canadian Eskimo Dog. The
breed 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. |
