The Alaskan Husky is not a breed. It is any dog specifically bred to pull a sled. Can be any combination of breeds. They can have any color coat, eyes, any size, any temperment. The most "trendy" alaskans right now are predominantly german short-haired pointer and coonhound crosses. All of my dogs, with the exception of the four purebreds, are considered Alaskan Huskies. There is no consistency even among my little pack--I have blue eyed alaskans, brown eyed ones, prick ears, flop ears, lots of different coat colors from red to solid white and tons of different temperments; they range in size from 35 pounds to 120. The only unifying feature is that they all come from sled dog lines.
