Are husky dogs related to wolves?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Like all other dogs, Huskies are related to wolves. However, these unique personality traits separate Huskies (and other dog breeds) from their wild relatives. Their extreme temperament differences compel most biologists to think of dogs and wolves as entirely separate species, despite their genetic similarities.


Do Huskies share DNA with wolves?

If you think that Arctic Huskies have a bit of wolf in them, you're right. A new study published this week in the science journal Current Biology, found that Inuit Huskies can trace part of the lineage back to the Taimyr wolves of Siberia of some 35,000 years ago.

Is Husky a wolf hybrid?

Sometimes referred to as a “wolfdog,” a hybrid is a canine cross of domestic dog and any species of wolf. Despite its wolf-like pointy ears, long coat, and general skittishness, the husky is a breed of domesticated dog and not a hybrid at all.
