The Husky, often associated with Alaska, is actually the Siberian Husky as this history relates:
The Siberian Husky is, and has for centuries been, a purebred dog ... . The breed was originally developed by the Chukchi people of northeastern Asia as an endurance sled dog. In 1909, the first large numbers of these Chukchi dogs were brought to Alaska to compete in the long-distance All-Alaska Sweepstakes races, and the Alaskan dog drivers quickly recognized the ability of these huskies from Siberia.
