Several thousand years ago, primitive Eskimo-like tribes in Siberia used dogs for specific functions in everyday life. These dogs were essential to the humans' survival as they performed vital tasks, which included accompanying the hunters, scenting trails and helping to transport food back to the villages. Each tribe had its own specific type, which at this point was a precursor to a specific breed of dog, but all of the Northern dogs were similar in the sense of being jackal-type dogs that, at one time, had been crossbred with Arctic wolves. Of course, this was thousands of years ago, and through careful breeding and maintenance of pure bloodlines, the 'wolf' was bred out of the dog. The purebred Siberian Husky of today is not a wild wolf hybrid, as anyone close to the breed will attest, but a beautiful, friendly, tractable, wonderful dog in both pet and working capacities. In Siberia, the ancestors of the Husky were originally used for hunting until another use for them evolved. Each tribe bred and maintained its own specific type of dog. These Northern dogs eventually evolved into the distinct breeds that we know today: the Alaksan Malamute, Eskimo Dog and Samoyed, to name a few. The Chukchi tribe is credited with the origination of the dog that we have come to know as the Siberian Husky. The Chukchis inhabited the part of Siberia closest to Alaska; at one time the climate was not so harsh, but weather conditions changed for the worse, forcing the tribe to venture further from their settlement to find food.
