What breed of dog was in the movie "8 Below"?

Answer 1

6 Siberian Huskies and 2 Alaskan Malamutes. Maya, Old Jack, Max, Shorty, Dewey and Truman were Siberian Huskies. Shadow and Buck, the two wheel dogs (back row of sled dogs) and also the bigger dogs, were Alaskan Malamutes. Take Buck for example, the biggest dog on the set, weighing in at over 120 pounds.. Huskies don't get that big, they normally range from 40-60 pounds. Buck and Shadow were definetly Malamutes, it's stated in the movie and the dogs actually came from a Malamute rescue!

Canadian Eskimo Dog
With a formidable past and sometimes, an uncertain future, this Canadian Kennel Club recognised breed has survived as one of Canada's only indigenous dog breeds for over 2000 years. Closely related to the Greenland dog, and deriving from the Thule Inuit Culture of the Canadian North and Greenland--the Canadian Eskimo Dog has been called by many names throughout history--Gronlandshund, Inuit Husky, and by the Inuit--Qimmiq...

A proud breed by any name, this breed has survived in some of the harshest terrain in the world, sharing the struggle, and later the accomplishments, of its human counterparts in survival and adventure. Eskimo dogs have served nearly all the famous names in arctic and Antarctic exploration. Beautiful, proud, loyal and kind, the Canadian Eskimo Dog (CED) was historically a draft animal and all around worker. The breed was used for sledding and packing, and also as a hunting dog for the Inuit. In some parts of the Canadian North these dogs are still found sniffing out seal-breathing holes or holding the polar bear at bay during hunts. It would be hard to envision the ancient Inuit people coping with the polar conditions without these dogs.

Early expedition use of the Eskimo Dog brought him not only into demand and respect, but put him under the eyes of the scientific community during the 1800's and early 1900's. It is said that a Canadian Eskimo Dog can pull twice his weight and still cover up to 70 miles per day in some of the most rugged terrain in the world. It is sad that a dog with such a distinguished history and so perfectly suited to its purpose, would be so little known to dog fanciers. Even among dog racers the Eskimo Dog is rarely utilised.

Much of the Eskimo Dogs identity problem of today lies in the fact that their actual numbers remain so low. The plight of the Eskimo dog over the past few decades has been a sad one, as little effort was extended to introduce this proud breed to the general public and, therefore, the breed has become almost forgotten. In the fifties it is believed that 20,000 animals lived in the Canadian North, with still more found in the U.S. where they were being registered at the time. In 1959 the American Kennel Club dropped the dog from their recognised breed ranks due to lack of registration. With the introduction of Snow Machines to the Canadian North, the Eskimo Dog numbers steadily decreased. By 1963 only one Canadian Eskimo Dog was listed with the Canadian Kennel Club Registry. No more were registered thereafter and the breed was deemed extinct as far as official recognition. At this time on the Northern front, less than 200 pure animals still existed in the North.

In 1972 a project was created to try to save the Canadian Eskimo Dog. Bill Carpenter and John McGrath, with the assistance of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and the Canadian Government, began the Canadian Eskimo Dog Research Foundation (CEDRF) in Yellowknife, NWT. The resurrect began, and in 1986 the first dogs from this project were registered with the CKC. With this initial addition to the gene pool, the foundation stock of the registered breed we know today was established.

Now in the 90's it is believed that there are still less than 500 registered animals left in existence, making the Canadian Eskimo Dog one of the rarest breeds in the world. These dogs are one of Canada's only true indigenous breeds and have been commemorated over the years with a stamp (1988) and recently, a fifty-cent piece (1997.)

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?0gBC

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.
