It is widely thought that the Siberian Husky originated from tribes that were located in the east Siberian peninsula. Recent findings have shown that the Siberian Husky is one of the oldest breeds of dog. Imported by Russian fur trader William Goosak, the Siberian Husky first arrived in North America in Nome, Alaska. They were brought to Alaska to be used in a 400 mile sled race with a prize of $10,000. The breed’s thick, heavy coat was the main reason that the Siberian Husky was chosen to pull the sleds. This helped to keep them warm despite sub zero temperatures as well as large amounts of snow. Over the next few years word began to spread throughout the region of the breed’s sled racing ability. The breed’s fame increased even more after a sled team led by a Siberian Husky named Togo traveled over 300 miles through a blizzard and on little sleep to retrieve an antidote for a plague that was gripping the town of Nome. On the way back the team was met by a relay team led by a Siberian Husky named Balto which picked up the antidote and completed the last leg of the journey. Because of this journey to save the town there is a statue of Balto in New York City’s Central Park. The Siberian Husky breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1930. Later in 1955 the first Siberian Husky, Ch. Bonzo of Anadyr, CD, took best in show in the AKC all breed show.
