if Balto is real, i was wondering if Jenna and their pups are real too?

Technically, the only character from the Balto cartoon (the first one)
who is real is the doctor...and he is not credited by name as
representing Nome's real Dr. Curtis Welch from the time (whom he
superficially resembles). So even that is not a sure thing.
Balto was a real dog...a real
Siberian husky (not in the modern breed sense either). But he was NOT
a wolf-dog hybrid, and therefore the version of him in the cartoon
movies (all three) is a work of fiction. As is every other character
in each of the movies (except as noted above). Including Jenna and
her pups. The real Balto was neutered at six months of age.
Hope that helps!

No. But, I'm sure now that people have named their huskies after her,
if the husky is a female and looks like her. |

I don't think the pups are real because they are only in the
sequels, not the original movie. |
