"Dad, I would like a walk" or "Dad, where's me dinner" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 that's interesting! do you think this applies for husky's howls as well? Perhaps in the wild with the Chukchi tribes when they are let free to roam in the summer as a large (ish) pack they may do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 some also says that there is actually a bit of wolf in the husky's genes so that article may apply to huskies as well (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit of Wolf in ALL dogs, They are descended from the same root stock a couple of hundred thousand years ago. Huskies simply RESEMBLE wolves more than any other dog.

Mazz Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Interesting article. Andy is right, all dogs share DNA with wolves. There are breeds of dogs that are closer relatives to wolves than Huskies, that don't share much in the way of appearances with wolves.

BlueWolf Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Interesting article. Andy is right, all dogs share DNA with wolves. There are breeds of dogs that are closer relatives to wolves than Huskies, that don't share much in the way of appearances with wolves. Actually, a DNA research in 2004 showed that there may only be two other breeds that are more 'closer' to the wolves than the Siberian Husky: The Shar-pei and Basenji.
