Did you know?
Husky is a general name for a type of dog used to pull sleds in northern regions. The word originated as a term for arctic people in general. According to the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, English sailors called the native Eskimos “Huskimos,” which was shortened to Husky. The name later extended to their dogs.
Huskies have a genetic closeness to the gray wolf and are energetic and athletic, with a thick double coat – perfect for cold climates – that can be black, gray, white or copper red. Many have striking blue eyes, although they may also be gray, brown or yellow.
You may notice that your husky loves to run. It’s no coincidence – huskies were literally bred to run. More than 3,000 years ago, the Chukchi people of Siberia needed to expand their hunting ground, so they decided to breed the ideal sled dog that could withstand cold and would display high endurance and be able to survive with little food.

I have met many male Siberian huskies named Logan from X-Men Character Wolverine. My own husky is also named Logan. He named himself, we put names on pieces of paper and put them down in front of him, he picked up wolverine so we call him Logan. Logan fits him too. His demeanour is much like Logan from wolverine.

I even planned everything out. 2 husky’s 1 boy 1 girl the boy is older by a few months the boys name is blue (I’ve always wanted to name a husky that I think it’s adorable) and Blue has a grey top coat and white under belly and blue eyes. And the girl has a brown top coat and a white under belly (Yes there are huskys like that I’ve seen one. some people say there rare lol) and she will have brown eyes and her name is Ali. Yep that’s my dream. Let’s hope it comes true when im like 26 I’m 12 lol I’ve got a long way to wait for this!

Togo was the legendary dog that was the hero. Not Balto. Balto was just an easy name to deem the hero. Check your history first.
Sebastian
My Husky Syberian name Madox
Siarrah
I just got a baby boy husky .. he is white and has streaks of yellow/gold.. need an Alaskan uncommon name. Thanks 😊
Bonnie
I’m getting a husky rescue tomorrow from an abusive situation…….Game of Thrones female name?? She’s a survivor….💗
🐕
I realize you’re probably just a kid who thinks they’re being informative but you probably should have read this a little better. It doesn’t say Balto was THE hero. It says “this legendary dog has quite the history” with Balto’s Wikipedia linked, which in no way disrespects Togo. They even included Togo’s name with his Wikipedia linked.
I get the frustration. I waited years for Togo and his team to finally get the recognition they deserved but that doesn’t mean the other teams aren’t heroes. Every single dog (and human) from every team is a hero, same for anyone who helped along the way.
Jeremy
My female huskies name is Spirit
