Aleksandr Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Here is a shot of me with a lovely Laika named Volk (Wolf in English) in Kamchatka - Eastern Russia. He was a brilliant dog that would bark when bears were near. Laika means bark :) It was great to have along as there were many many bears. Husky mate! 100% Husky :) In which language Laika means bark? I do know they bark a lots while not busy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think the owners who are experienced hunters in Russia would know what their dog was LOL. By the way I am a Husky owner and this was not a husky. According to my wife who's first language is Russian Lai is bark and Laiker is barker.

Agree with that it is more as barker. :) But laika is also - Husky. What you seen in Kamchatka is real Mckoy of Husky. Out ther development and breeding of the breed is never stops according to local needs. They are more stronger, great stamina, can withstand very low temperatures, great hunters, etc... They probably are far more superior to Australian Huskies in qualities they need to live in Kamchatka. Local Husky in Australia is rather a show dog.

dotdashdot Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Kooikerhondje these dogs have fascinated me since I saw a segment on Dogs 101 on them (on Animal Planet) amazing selective breeding, lets make them have long ear hair for ducks to follow. And that name, sounds like you can speak a different language (which I can't) If someone imported them and got them recognised, I think I would want one. Edit- just watched the segment again on Youtube...apparently it's the tail, not the ears that lures the ducks.

RiverStar-Aura Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) A reply to aussielover, the Hovawart makes me think of dog that can hover and the name always gives me a chuckle! The breed I'd love to see is: Lancashire Heeler: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire_Heeler Edited September 13, 2014 by RiverStar-Aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that Volk is probably mixed, I asked them if he was a Husky and this is what they told me, no it is not a husky it is a Laika. So they seem to draw a distinction. My wife has a friend who races huskies in the Beringia so my info comes from what I have been told by hunters and professional racers, some of her sled dogs look like mine and others look very different. While I agree there has been a disheartening trend to breed shorter legged huskies for show in Australia, this is not always the case. My boy comes from racing stock and has nice long running legs. There are a number of breeders that bring in huskies or frozen semen from long running Iditarod champions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of breeders that bring in huskies or frozen semen from long running Iditarod champions as well. I am a born and raised in Siberia in small village where every one is just had to be a hunter. Locals you been asking most likely never heard of the name Husky. Have to say Laika is a great hunting dog specialising in Sable and Squirrels, but the same type of dogs using by local Yakuts and Chukchi to pull their luggage. Huskies that is. :) Yet to become a laika dog(any dog) just had to be a good hunter. Due to the climate conditions and demands for local dogs most of them are huskies.

Brandiandwe Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Sloughi Chart Polski Me too. I'd add galgos (not strictly purebred but I want one. Don't google unless you are prepared to see some distressing images.) and also caravan dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I don't need to read a wiki article on the Soviet space dog named Laika to qualify the info I got nor do I see the relevance to hunting dogs and pulling dogs. I also don't see how a Facebook page about a Husky named Laika has any relevance mate :D Either way, this is now veering too far off topic mate! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
