Huskies love to run and work, and for that reason they are used to pull sleds.

Siberian Huskies are a breed that go back hundreds of years. There is no "mix" they are a breed of their own and are pure bred.
Siberian Huskies were bred by the Chukchi of Northeastern Asia. They were initially sent to Alaska and Canada as sled dogs.
The population of the Siberian huskie is foun up north, but now the husky has been bred to live in the warmer continents. As long as they have shade of coarse.
The male Siberian husky put it's penis into the female Siberian husky's vagina!
From what I know, apparently they were not bred, they were given birth by Wolves/Wolverine but their bodies were not exactly like wolves, so given the name Siberian Husky, and from then they used them as sleigh dogs. Really. Teacher told me that.
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.
Siberian huskies are selectively bred domestic dogs, they do not naturally occur in the wild. Like all dogs, the husky is a scavenger and will pretty much eat anything vaguely edible. The husky was bred to live in cold climates such as the arctic but can now be found in many different habitats.
The Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are both classified in the Working Group (UK) and were both originally bred to pull sleds in cold regions. They are different as the Alaskan Malamute is usually taller and heavier than a Siberian Husky, plus the Siberian Husky can have blue eyes; whereas the Alaskan Malamute cannot.
There isn't really an Alaskan husky breed. its just Siberian huskies and Alaskan malamutes. Alaskan huskies are not a breed in itself they are bred by different dogs to produce the best possible working dogs. but the scientific name for a Siberian husky is Canis familiaris.
I have a three year old female Siberian Husky,, and I’ll tell you in a pulling match, tug of war, I put her against my Shepherd/mastiff 130lbs any day of the week, she wins almost every Time! So huskies are pretty strong dogs!
A Siberian husky originates from Siberia, Russia if that's what you are wondering.
