The dogs used are Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Huskies. This pedigree is one of the oldest in the world and originates from north-eastern Siberia where it was bred by the Chukchi nomads. They first used the dogs for hunting, but as there was less and less game in the local area, the nomads were forced to hunt over much larger areas. As a result, the dogs became draft animals. This happened around 4000 years ago. Today, the Siberian Husky is characterized by its light, fast and elegant stride. Their well-proportioned build speaks of strength, speed and endurance. Huskies are sociable, playful, energetic, robust pack dogs with a strong hierarchical instinct.
