Balto's Parents

We all know Balto is part wolf and part husky.
What I don't get is how people think that both Balto's parents were wolves. First all of, he already looks like a wolfdog, and second, a major point in Balto 1 was that Balto was a wolfdog.
But, until Balto 2, in which Balto announced that his father was a husky and his mother was a wolf, is was really unsure which was which. What if the staff of Balto 1 were thinking that Balto's mother was a husky and his father was a wolf?
Although this idea could have been possible, I would still find it unlikely. For, if Balto's mother was a husky, she would probably not have been seperated from her pups. But if Balto's mother was a wolf, than the idea that she had been seperated from her half-breed pups is more likely.
I don't think the idea that Balto's mother was a wolf set in to the Wolf Quest staff's minds until they saw the White Wolf in Balto 1. I do not believe this was intended to be Balto's mother, but rather a wolf in the right place at the right time. There are even some rumors that the White Wolf from Balto 1 was a male.
Now, given the evidence just by the 1st movie alone, yes, I believed Balto's mother was a wolf.
The idea that Balto's mother was a white wolf leaves open the fact that his father must look a lot like Balto.
His father, being a husky, was probably seperated by his family after his humans found out he had pups with a wolf. However, in reality, I don't think this would have been the case in most situations. Although wolfdog hybrids can be hard to train, I heard a lot of mushers want wolfdogs, for their strength and determination. But, that's getting off topic.
So, in conclusion, Balto's mother was most likely a wolf and Balto's father was most likely a husky, whether or not you take in the evidence from Balto 2.
































About the sequel. Yes, the sequel crew indeed just liked the White Wolf from the original film and, since they had no information about the character from the original film, they turned the wwhite wolf into Balto's mother. Plus, according to the sequel's writer, Balto's father is just a stray dog, who mates and then never even knows about possible pups, i.e. Balto never had a father and never knew him (why then Balto assumed that he was a husky?), while his wolf mother, Aniu, is the deity of all wolves.
P.S. Balto says that he accidentally was separated from mother, i.e. he just accidentally got lost. Nobody separated him from mom.
