I'll say it again, as I have hundreds of times on Balto Source, on this forum, and elsewhere - it doesn't matter that the AKC, UKC or any other breed club didn't recognize the Siberian husky before 1930. A breed they were nevertheless...for hundreds of years at least. Bred even by primitive natives to a certain standard (of their own).

Balto was a purebred Siberian husky of that tradition. There was NO wolf in him...there was NO hound in him (as with Alaskan Huskies).

The legitimacy of a breed is not determined by a national or international breed club.

As much as we all appreciate your posts in the threads for people to learn - and we all do - please note that this forum is part of the "Balto films" forum section, therefore all threads in here referring to Balto mean the cartoon one in those films. And if you're going to drag it on... irrelevant. I can take one post, but not several stressing the same point in different words.

I don't know, but also, here is another kind of husky. It's American husky, called Eskimo husky too.

I'm not sure :/

Hey! That does look a good deal like Balto did in the movie. Maybe he is part American husky, or Mackenzie River husky, or Siberian husky, or mutt. Uggh! Why can't the creators just tell us for crying out loud?

balto is a thin dog in the movie so i's say an alaskan husky. bu in real life balto is pretty big so in real life i'd call him a siberian.
