Husky

Husky is a general name for a seled-type of dogs used in northern regions, differentiated from other seld-dogs types by their fast pulling style.

Huskies are used in seld dog racing In recent years, companies have been marketing tourist treks with dog sledges for adventure travelers in snow regions as well. Huskies are also today kept as pets, and groups work to find new pet homes for retired racing and adventure trekking dogs.
The word husky originated from the word referring to Arctic people in general,Eskimos(a.k.a. Inuit), "...known as 'huskies', a contraction of 'Huskimos', the pronunciation given to the word 'Eskimos' by the English sailors of trading vessels." The use of husky is recorded from 1852 for dogs kept by Inuit people.
