Abstract

The article discusses the Alaskan husky, a category of dogs bred for long-distance running. Alaskan huskies are not a specific breed and can vary in appearance. They are strong and lean with pointed ears, curled tails, long muzzles, muscular legs, and thick fur. Their coats can be different colors, patterns, and lengths. Alaskan huskies have been used for sled racing for over 15,000 years and were bred by human dog sled racers in Canada and Alaska. They were cross-bred with other breeds to create dogs that could run fast and endure harsh weather conditions. The article also provides information on sled dog commands and fun facts about Alaskan huskies, such as their speed, calorie intake, and pack mentality. [Extracted from the article]
