Huskies, particularly the Siberian Husky, are domesticated dogs and not direct hybrids of wolves. However, all domestic dogs, including Huskies, share a common ancestor with wolves, which means they possess a genetic makeup that can be traced back to wolves. While specific percentages of wolf ancestry can vary among individual dogs, most Huskies have very little to no direct wolf genes in their DNA, typically less than 1% in terms of genetic similarity to wolves.
