The Northern Inuit is a relatively new man-made breed and has been bred in the UK for about 20 years. The aim is to create a versatile family companion that has a Wolfy appearance the beginning Inuit type dogs were crossed with other northern breeds (Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute) and some German Shepherd was included in the early stages to make the breed more biddable trainable.
The Northern Inuit we have today is a very loyal, affectionate dog that gets on well with children and other dogs, normally submitting if challenged are very independent dogs and are not suitable for the novice owner. They need early socialization otherwise they tend to spook easily when faced with something they have never come across before, but providing the owner is prepared to spend time socializing and training they are obedient and can be safely let off lead. However, they may choose to come back in their own time when they've finished investigating whatever has got their attention! Owners do need to be patient and have a good sense of humour, as they can be very funny. They are very versatile dogs and will have a go at anything.
They are pack orientated and can be very destructive if left on there own, they enjoy and need to be with you as much as possible and be involved in everything the family does or have another suitably sized dog as a companion. They are very lively and rough in there play so any companion dog that you chose should be able to with stand there rough and tumble ways. Inuits do not make good guard dogs and will most probably greet any stranger or intruder as a long lost friend(if they could they would make them a cup of tea).
they are larger than Siberian huskies and coats should be double and dense. There colour can vary from white through to grey or black. they can also have very distinctive face markings resembling a mask.
