snow dog

we keep being asked if our northern inuit sam is a "snow dog". i'd never heard the term before, but it seems to refer to dogs from the arctic, such as huskies (huskys?) and malamutes. i'd never heard of those either, but the net is my friend, and the US alaskan malamute rescue has taught me a lot. yup, there is a lot of the behaviour they describe in our sam. and of course, he has the brown eyes typical of malamutes, not the blue ones often found in husk...s.
