Alaskan mixed breeds?
The Alaskan husky is not an official breed but a mixed breed dog that is bred for performance not looks. These dogs are most famous for their part in the Iditarod sled dog race.
Where do Alaskan Huskies originally came from?
The "Alaskan husky" is not an actual breed. The term covers any and all dog's bred to pull sleds, specifically mixed bred dogs. The term first gained popularity in Alaska (of course). A normal Alaskan husky is bred from : sight hounds (grey hounds being the most common!) Collies German Shepherd Siberian husky (More specifically the Seppalla siberian husky) Malamutes Samoyeds and labs. Currently there are more GSD/grey hound mixes used as Alaskan huskies then any other breed.
Why do most Mushers today use a mixed breed as opposed to the Alaskan Husky?
The Alaskan Husky is a mixed breed. It is the dog most used for mushing at this point in time. The reason the Alaskan is the most popular breed for mushing is mostly due to racing. Since Alaskans are a mix breed and often have various types of hound mix they are typically faster than the purebred dogs. This is more of a factor in sprint racing than it is in distance. There are still a few purebred Siberian Husky teams competing in distance racing that are doing quite well.

These days, that tradition lives on in sled dog racing, where the most popular breeds include the Alaskan Husky, and various cross breeds, often based on the German Shorthaired Pointer. However, many breeds have been used, including the poodle!Alaskan huskies are favored in modern sled dog races because they are faster than traditional breeds like the Alaskan malamute or the Samoyed. They are not as strong, but in sled dog racing where speed is important, and the distances are shorter, Alaskan huskies were found to perform better. Alaskan husky dogs are not a recognized breed. They are bred for their performance, and so they cannot be easily characterized as a breed. Alaskan husky dogs represent a variety of types with different lines. They are hybrid dogs - a husky with another breed, that is determined by the needs and ideas of the breeders. A husky may be bred with a wolf, setters, or any other breed that can bring genetic advantages in speed and endurance.
