All parts of him are hybrid it seems. Except for his paws and fur color, which are wolf.

Sometimes, I have to wonder if you actually read things through before replying.

Everything about him is HYBRID, meaning half-wolf and half-husky, except for his big paws and greyish fur... and perhaps his eyes. Nothing about him is pure husky, nothing that I see anyways.

His body can be built as a Wolf. but his personality or the way he thinks can be husky. to put it kinda easy Insides = Husky Outsides = Wolf

50%wolf,50%husky

Balto is fifty per cent husky,and fifty per cent wolf.

Well, he looks very wolf-ish, and can act as wolf-ish as he looks. However, it is his husky side that pulls the sled, and his wolf side that leads the team home.

People say that it's because he's part husky that he helps people out and stuff. That's not right IMO. That's more because he's Balto than anything, not because he's a wolf or a husky.

To be honest, certain "parts" of him cannot be husky. His "genes" are a mix of wolf and husky (there has been something about him actually being an Alaskan Malamute, which is just a Malamute and a mutt breeding together).

Though his features may "scream" one side of his heiritage, it will not effectively "show up". However, if you know how to tell breeds (like I do), you can probably pick out various features that belong to one breed or the other.

The "Real Balto" was black and white, not grey. His size was about that of a medium husky, possibly an Alaskan Malamute (I know this because my fiancee has a Malamute who is about the same size, only she is "pure-bred").

The problem is, we may never know for sure. If he is not half-wolf, you know people will still go around saying it's a lie.

For all we, as "kids" know, the movie-maker(s) added the "Half wolf" thing to add conflict for the movie, to keep people attracted. Though; they could have done without the sequels in my opinion.

ANIMATED MOVIES MAY BE BASED ON TRUE STORIES, BUT ARE NEVER 100% LEGIT!

i think the colours are more dark to make him look like a wolfdog.
so,other then then the looks, inside him is half and half.
