Ameri Indian Alaskan Husky

The Ameri-Indian Alaskan Husky is a sub-type of the Alaskan Husky, a type, or a category of dog. This sub-type is reminiscent of the more family oriented Native American or Trap-line dogs, noted for strong family/human ties and strong, enduring body type suited to the ever-changing temperatures. The native dogs were utilized not only as hunting dogs but as family companion/protector and beast of burden (pulling a travois or carrying like a pack animal). The effort to return to and to improve sound bodies and minds, the Ameri-Indian type are a calmer, more focused type of Alaskan Husky. Easier to work with and train, they are notable family dogs who adapt easily to different living environments. The Ameri-Indian Husky can be any colour but, most notably, are varying shades of sable (wolf sable, black sable, red sable, buff sable). They can have any colour of eyes (blue, gold, brown) and a neat nose with good width between the eyes. Ears are erect and set slightly up on their head (not as high set as a German Shepherd) and do vary in length but the intent is to have a longer ear with a wide base. Full face masks are not accepted but dogs with "goggling" around their eyes is accepted as well as white down the nose. Tails do not curl up over the back like a "Spitz" dog or Siberian Husky, instead being sickle shaped. They are level across the back with a good straight hind leg (no slope) with cow hocks allowed as well as front legs that are easty-westy that contribute to sounder joints with high physical impact. Long through the neck (carrying more of their weight ahead of the shoulder) and good bone structure and width to handle physical exertion. These dogs do come with pedigree documentation obtainable only from the single breeding program currently working to re-establish these great dogs.
