siberan husky

Because mostly women cared for the dogs, they were used to children and accustomed to being part of the family. Brought to the US in the 1800's by Olaf Swenson a fur trader and explorer. Siberians won the big Alaska Race 3 consecutive years. Team led by Balto ran serum to Nome in 1925 averting a diptheria epidemic.
