Huskies are a beautiful breed of dog.
I've never met a dog I didn't like. Huskies are great dogs, related to the now-extinct Taimyr wolf.
I also love dogs! What is the Taimyr wolf?
gray wolf is due to admixture. However, several Arctic breeds also show a genetic closeness with the now-extinct Taimyr wolf of North Asia due to admixture: the Siberian Husky and Greenland dog (which are also historically associated with Arctic human populations) and to a lesser extent, the Shar Pei and Finnish spitz. An admixture graph of the Greenland dog indicates a best-fit of 3.5% shared material; however, an ancestry proportion ranging between 1.4% and 27.3% is consistent with the data and indicates admixture between
events that had gone extinct or had been largely replaced by more modern dog populations.
Siberian huskies and other northern breeds can trace at least some of their ancestry (1.4–27.3%) back to the Taimyr wolf, which indicates the possibility of more than one domestication event.
In 2016, a study compared the mitochondrial DNA and whole-genome sequences of a worldwide panel of modern dogs, the mDNA sequences of 59 ancient European dog specimens dated 14,000-3,000 YBP, and the nuclear genome sequence of a dog specimen that
