I don't see any husky in him.
I agree with the others who see Catahoula.
And while they are indeed more common in the south, you never know where a "pocket" of a certain breed will show up. I used to work at a very small shelter in a small city in Wyoming ... literally the middle of nowhere. And for some reason, we had three purebred Catahoulas show up in one year, from different owners and situations. It was very strange.
And when I worked a a shelter in Colorado we got a LOT of Jindos in during one year. In fact, I adopted one and still have him. Jindos are a relatively rare breed, originating on Jindo island in Korea. The only place they are present in any number in the US in in Los Angeles, where there a large Korean population settled. We couldn't figure it out at first, until someone made the connection that a group of Korean people had moved to our small town in Colorado to work temporarily in a meat packing plant, bringing their Jindos with them.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
