Shouldn't this be at Sled dog? RickK 01:35 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Actully non users of American english call them sleigh dogs.

According to google, the most popular term is sled dog at 169,000. The next is sleigh dog at 53,300. Sleddog is by far the least popular at 14,800. So this article should clearly be at sled dog or sleigh dog, but clearly not at sleddog. So this article will clearly have to renamed. FearÉIREANN 23:05 21 Jul 2003 (UTC)
This is so neat, at the present moment I am writing a scholarly article on them! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.141.77.177 ( talk • contribs)
Seems to be referring to a specific use of sled dogs, for specific cargo carrying purposes? Other information present in this current text seems to be referring to the broader concept of Cargo / Freight, which is another separate article Wcconey ( talk) 13:06, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
I would like to re-open a discussion for creating a separate article for the Alaskan Husky. Since the merger with this page in 2019 there has been extensive independent scientific research on the genetic makeup of the Alaskan Husky genome, notably the research of Dr. Heather Huson to name just one. It seems the 2019 discussion which resulted in the merger was one of resignation until more work could be done on the article, which I feel re-igniting would be important to the breed's notability and history as a working dog outside of purebred club politics. I'm unsure if this is the best place to open this discussion, but since it is where the Alaskan husky page ended up, I thought I would start here Mcfuggins ( talk) 02:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
The Alaskan Husky has been specifically bred for endurance performance and is capable of extreme endurance performance.
The subspecies Alaskan Husky has been specifically bred for endurance performance.
During the Alaskan Gold Rush, additional sled dogs, possibly of post-colonial derivation, the Alaskan Husky, Malamute and Siberian Husky, were used in the Arctic.
The Alaskan Husky displayed evidence of European introgression, in contrast to the Malamute and Siberian Husky, which appear to have maintained most of their ancient Siberian ancestry.
Since European colonization, however, inhabitants of the Arctic have adopted as sled dogs several additional breeds or types, including the Alaskan Husky (created in post-colonial North America) .... Although these types are of similar form and function to the Inuit dog, their genealogical relationships are unclear. The Alaskan Husky of today, which is defined on the basis of (and are bred for) function rather than ancestral ‘purity’, reflects a century or more of admixture (for example, Pointers, Shepherds, Salukis) and selection for performance.
