Brief Breed History

In the 1980's several Inuit/Husky type dogs were imported by various individuals and a few specimens of the progeny of these were selectively bred for type and size with northern breeds, such as Malamute and Husky crosses and German Shepherds for trainability, to create a breed with a wolfish appearance and submissive temperment. These were carefully bred over several generations to create the Northern Inuit we know today. However, the breeders of these dogs sold them as wolf hybrids, which totaly misled the public and caused a scare across the country and it took a court case to prove that there was no wolf content in the dogs at all. In the early years a handful of other dogs (from these same breeds) were brought into the breeding programme to improve the breed by expanding the gene pool and setting certain characteristics. For many generations now the Northern Inuit has been bred pure, Inuit to Inuit, and a definite type has been established.
