labrador husky

The Labrador Husky is not a Labrador dog bred with a husky. It is an indigenous breed of husky comprised of the Canadian Inuit Dog and the Labrador Wolf. Due to geographic isolation the Thule Inuit allowed their dogs to interbreed with the local wolf population giving rise to what is known as the Labrador Husky.

Where once there was an over abundance of this Inuit sled dog, today there are but 65 that remain in existence. To find out more about this rare breed please look for The Labrador Husky group on Facebook where research, videos, historical photos and newspaper and magazine articles are posted.
