Labrador Husky Pictures and InformationLabrador Husky DescriptionAt first glance, the Labrador Husky looks like a wolf. It is a bit smaller than the Alaskan Malamute, but it is larger than the Siberian Husky. The Labrador Husky is a fairly large dog which can weigh up to 100 pounds. It is likely to have been bred and introduced by the Thule Inuit or Dorsets. Like the Siberian and Alaskan Husky, it has traditionally been used as a sled dog. This breed has existed for hundreds of years, and is unique because it has become isolated from other northern dog breeds during this time. These dogs were heavily used until the invention of the snowmobile, and are now kept as pets. It has a dense coat which allows it to thrive in the cold environments that it originates from. Of all the northern dog breeds, the Labrador Husky is one of the most rare. It is a purebred, and has existed for many years. It is also not well understood by many dog breeders.
