Book excerpt: As ruggedly beautiful as the circumpolar north in which it evolved, the Canadian Inuit Dog has been a vital partner to the Arctic's indigenous people for millennia, helping them travel, navigate, hunt and survive in their frozen world. Deeply researched and passionately written, this deft and respectful exploration of this ancient landrace's history, genetics, form and function also chronicles the Inuit Dog's clashes with modernity, which threaten its existence more ominously than any Arctic blizzard.

Book excerpt: "The provenance of the Inuit dog is explored from known occurrences of faunal remains in paleoinuit archeological sites which support the presence of the breed in the Arctic to c.2000 BP. From a review of "hunter-gatherer" cultures worldwide and a knowledge of the essential role played by the Inuit dog in Inuit culture in the historic period it is postulated that the breed has been resident in the Arctic concurrent with all known human occupants. The relationship of the Inuit dog to the wolf is investigated through anatomical comparisons, behavioural considerations and Inuit dog-keeping practices. A conclusion asserts that there is no firm evidence to support the common contention of regular breeding between the two species and much information suggests that the Inuit dog is no more closely related to the wolf than any other breed of dog. The Inuit dog displays special characteristics as a consequence of living in a polar environment. The breed's pelage, behaviour, size, nutrition and health issues are each reviewed to reveal their contribution to the unique adaptation which has allowed this animal to thrive in its natural habitat. The history of the Inuit dog in terms of its contribution to Inuit culture and to geographic and scientific exploration in the polar regions is traced. The declining use of dogs in polar transport has led to the substantial reduction of Inuit dog populations throughout its arctic habitat"--Page ii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Inuit Dog is a type of canine that looks very similar to a wolf. They are a hybrid of the Siberian Husky, the Alaskan Malamute, and the German Shepherd that was created in the 1980s in the United Kingdom. The plan was to develop a domestic dog that looked like a wolf but had a more manageable and trainable personality, making it ideal for homes with children. With their thick double coats, erect ears, and bushy tails, Northern Inuit Dogs are often likened to wolves. They make excellent companion animals because of their pleasant demeanor, loyalty, and social nature. Notable kennel clubs, such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and The Kennel Club (UK), do not recognize the Northern Inuit Dog as a breed. It remains a relatively rare and unofficial breed. Because they were used to portray the direwolves of House Stark, these dogs are sometimes linked to the "Game of Thrones" TV series. Their popularity was boosted by their striking appearance and the show's association with it, but prospective owners should proceed with caution before committing to one. Their large size and high energy output may not be suitable for all households. Before adopting a dog of this breed, it is important to study up on what the breed requires and how it behaves.
