No - they are domesticated dogs, like any other pet dog. Wolves, on the other hand, are wild animals. Any mix of a wolf and a domesticated dog will usually display the behaviors of the wolf (shy, easily spooked, not good with people, etc.) and should be avoided. It is illegal to keep them in many parts of the U.S. While Huskies (most dogs used for sled Dog Racing are Huskies) may have coats that make them look like wolves, they are not any more closely related to a wolf than any other domesticated dog. A good history of sled dogs is at http://www.seppalasleddogs.com Interestingly, some people use other breeds as sled dogs - it's just that Huskies are the ones best suited to long-distance, fast sled pulling!
