The Alaskan Husky is often misidentified as an official dog breed, though there is technically no ideal physique or genetic profile. The world's most selective aficionados of Alaskan Huskies—dogsled racers—judge the dogs by very specific criteria, none of which involve appearance or bloodlines: speed, strength and endurance. That said, many Alaskans do share a typical set of traits, including pale blue eyes, pointed ears, medium or short fur, a restless nature and a loud, disruptive howl. These commonalities are a result of common ancestry: most Alaskans are descended from indigenous North American dogs domesticated by Native Americans, as well as Siberian Huskies and wolves. European breeds, such as Greyhounds and Foxhounds, have also been mixed in, in order to add speed and stamina.
