* We are dog lovers with a suberian huskie The Siberian Husky (also known as the 'Chukcha', 'Keshia', or 'Arctic Husky') originated as a sled dog for the Chukchi tribe of Eastern Siberia (in northern Russia) several thousand years ago. It was imported to Alaska in the early 20th century during the Alaskan gold rush. The Siberian Husky attracted attention when it completely dominated native breeds in the 400 mile 'All-Alaska Sweepstakes' race from Nome to Candle in 1910, the second year in which it competed. It gained further prominence in 1925 when a gold miner named Leonhard Seppala used a now-famous team of Siberian Huskies to make an urgent delivery of diphtheria serum to Nome, saving thousands of lives. This delivery became known as the 'Great Race of Mercy' and attracted much attention to the Siberian Husky. A statue honoring Seppala's team stands today in Central Park
