Ummm . . . I don't want to sound stupid, but what's a Chinook? I know he's definately not a Shiba Inu though. They're much smaller and are actually native to Japan, so chances are they wouldn't be in Alaska.

He is a huskie, this whole film is about huskies all the main characters are huskies/malamutes or wolves.

Huskies are working dogs, and as a matter of fact the ONLY dogs used in Alaska for sled teams. So he's a husky

A shiba Inu is a working dog. They are hunting dogs, I think that is called a job. But ah well.............. And think he is a Chinook. They are sled dogs.

They go up to your knee.

think he is a Huskey. most of the dogs in the movie are huskies so i quess he is to.

Hmm, he looks like a husky and a chinnook. Possibly a chinnook/husky cross?

Not to sound n00bish or anything...but isn't shanook a salmon?

(not asking for real, just being my stupid self)

i always thought a chicknook (sp?) was a breed of salmon? anyway, we might wanna get back on topic.

i think Kaltag is a husky, or maybe an oddly colored Alaskan Malamute. his fur makes him look like a german shephard, or something related to one, but i still think he's either a husky or a malamute.

It is, but there is a dog breed. There are less than 500 of them left in the world. The were orignaly bred in Alaska.

wow, you learn something new everyday thanks for the info.

i'd have to say a husky
