chained_bear commented on the word eskimo dog
"Native to eastern Siberia. In the nineteenth century, it was introduced to Alaska and Greenland where it found an ideal environment.... Typical Arctic draft dog. A team of twenty Eskimo dogs can pull a sled carrying a two-ton load for 25 miles (40 km) without stopping. The Eskimo dog does not bark, but howls like a wolf. It is not adapted to family life." (Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs, 1980)
