If a musher is looking for speed they'll use mostly mutts who have many different breeds in their lineage and who have acclimated to the cold weather and running super long distances. If they just want to get to the finish line they'll use Huskies and Malamutes. The latter 2 are used more for power than speed, but the mixed breed dogs are bred for speed, power, and ease of training. Most mushers will have a few Huskies and Malamutes on their team to provide an extra "push", but past that an experience Iditarod racer will usually opt for mixed breeds.
no. the Siberian husky, is the Siberian husky. but there are other types of huskies. there is the Siberian, the Alaskan, the Mackenzie river husky. some people would also include the Alaskan malamute.
I had two huskies, one was husky wolf and the other was husky wolf coyote and they both ate dog food. Im sure up north they feed them lots of things but they are domesticated dogs they dont need to be tamed usually.
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.
Alaskan malamutes were originally bred for heavy duty work..such as pulling large sleds. They are like the Siberian husky, and Samoyed which were all bred for similar work..Though they go slower than Siberian huskies and other sled dogs, they have a bigger build, weigh more, and were built bigger for pulling more weight. They are not normally used in races as much as huskies.
Siberian huskies originated from Serbia,Russia and other animals that you might find there are Siberian tigers,wolves,tasmaskan dogs,Alaskan malamute,reindeers and so on.
well huskies have 2 layers of fur the lower and upper coat
Alaskan Malamutes make better companions than Huskies however, they are are a lot heavier and a lot more dog to handle than Siberian Huskies. So do your research before considering adopting one of these dog breeds. Neither dog makes a "better" companion. Each, like every other dog breed, has characteristics that make it an ideal companion for certain types of people.
