The Siberian husky is believed to have originated among the Chukchi, a tribe of nomadic Siberians. The breed’s history is relatively unknown, but DNA testing confirms that they are among the oldest dog breeds. We know that the Chukchi used dogs as a means of rapid transportation and that they interacted with the Chukchi as a family dog. Huskies often slept with children and provided warm, comfortable beds. The Siberian husky was imported to Alaska in 1908 and was used as sled dogs during the gold rush. They were used in the All-Alaska Sweepstakes, which is a 408-mile dogsled race, and they continue to be an active competitor in the Sweepstakes even today. Records indicate that the last Siberian Husky was exported from Siberia in 1930 when the borders were closed. by the Soviet government. The breed continued to thrive in North America. Although they changed slightly from their Siberian founding dogs, the Chukchi Sled Dog, they still retain many of the wonderful qualities of that breed.
