We have dogs that look like these original INUIT dogs! Not many left but folk in Canada & EUROPE are desperately trying to preserve the look, build, type 🙂 stunning picture! Thank you for sharing this.
I’m looking forward to following this year’s Ivakkak! But I don’t think most mushing fans even know about it. I wish more did, because they’re good people.
