Yakut husky: a description of the breed and photos

Dogs, which we will talk about today, belong to one of the oldest breeds. According to archaeologists, the sites of ancient people of the Neolithic Age that they found on the territory of present Yakutia, the sleds and bones of dogs (presumably Yakut laikas) are found to be 7800-8000 years old.

Yakut husky is from the village of Nizhnekolymsky Ulus. In this region, dogs with blue eyes have been born since ancient times . Until quite recently the breed was on the verge of extermination.

Historical reference

The Yakut Laika is bred in the northeast of Russia, in places that have long been called "canine rivers". They have a lot of fish, so it's easy to feed the animal. The peoples of western and central Yakutia called it "saha yta", which in translation means "Yakut dog".

The peoples of the north have used these dogs for a long time to travel through snow-covered terrain. In addition, the teams were necessary postal services, scientific expeditions, border guards. In the middle of XX century in the territory of Yakutia, there were more than thirty-three thousand dogs of this breed, but by the end of the century, with the arrival of technology, the number of these animals was sharply reduced. Gradually, the Yakut husky began to disappear. And it is not known how this story would end, if VZ Dyachkov, a retired enthusiast, had not taken up his job. Only nine years it took him to restore the breed Yakut husky.

At the moment it is not recognized by the FCI, but officially registered in the Russian Cynological Club. This can be considered a very great achievement.
