PLEASE NOTE: The ISDI believes it imperative in the interest of clarity and truth to point out that some dog clubs are usurping the name ‘Inuit Dog' and trying to pass their hybrids for pure Inuit dogs. There is ONLY one Inuit dog and that is the Inuit Sled Dog that the Inuit people brought with them, several thousands of years ago, when they migrated to the Canadian Arctic and Greenland. The only dog that the Government of Nunavut (Canada) has adopted for its mammal emblem and recognizes as the pure Inuit breed.
The name ‘Inuit Dog' belongs to the people of the Nunavut territory of Canada, who adopted the dog as their mammal emblem, and to the people of Nunavik region of northern Quebec (Canada) and to the native inhabitants of Greenland. The Inuit Sled Dog is an aboriginal dog that has not changed in function, appearance and temperament during more than four thousand years. It is the dog that pulled explorers' sleds to both poles, and brought them back.
