It is of great interest to know that the Siberian Husky’s origins can be traced back some 2000 years to the ancient Chukchi people of the Kolyma River Basin in northern Siberia. The Chukchi people were dependent on their dogs for protection, companionship, hunting, trapping and, most of all, for transportation. These dogs were expected to travel fairly quickly for long distances pulling a moderate load in low temperatures, while not eating their masters out of house and home. The dogs were welcome in the dwellings as playmates for the children and as hot water bottles at night. During the summer they ran loose, hunting and fending for themselves.  This lifestyle, which continued unchanged for centuries, produced a breed of dog which retained the pack living and hunting attributes of the wolf, whilst being un-aggressive and affectionate towards people.
