The origins of sled dogs

The first traces of dogs used to pull sledges date back over 4,000 years to Siberia, where nomadic peoples began to domesticate wild wolves to help them on their journeys. These domesticated wolves were then crossed with other native dog breeds, giving rise to lines of sled dogs with specific characteristics, such as Siberian huskies and Alaskan malamutes.
