The dogs on Adak are no exception
to the general rule in that they are
talked about quite frequently pro &
con, against and for.
There is little dispute to the age
old term of "Man*s Best Friend" when
refSrririg to a dog, however dogs can
get into trouble here on Adak and if
you own one you should contact the MAA
Office at X 283 for information that
you can use to keep your dog out of
trouble.
In case you have been wondering at^
the deep blue eyes or other features
of our dogs on Adak (some of them) I
would like to tell you about four of
the types of dogs known in the artic
and sub-artic regions.
These different breeds of dogs were
bred for pulling a sledge over frozen
tundra. The Encyclopedia Brittanica
recognizes these 4 separate breeds of
sledge dogs:
SAMOYEDE - White in color, weighing
36-55 pounds.
SIBERIAN HUSKY - Developed in Siberia
and commonly used in Alaska. They are
usually black and white and weigh aboiJ|
40-65 pounds. ^
ALASKAN MALAMUTE - One of the oldest
of the Artie sledge dogs. Noted for
being heavycoated, compact and weighing
50-85 pounds.
ESKIMO - Weighs 50-85 pounds. It*s
long hair is deep dun (dull greyish
brown ) in color though obscurely barred
and patched with a darker color. The
elongated muzzle, oblique eyes and bush/
tail give these dogs a wolfish appear -
ance which is at it should be for the
basal stock of the sledge dog is the
grey wolf.
Needless to say Adak seems to have a
mixture of all of the above breeds but
many people have found these types of
dogs to be wonderful house dogs and if
you do own one THEY DESERVE THE BEST OF
CARE.
