Written by DrewTheWolf {AB} :
I did some research a bit on some of the questions that often remained unanswered from the film. Logging on to IMDB I was able to discover interestingly enough that some answers were provided and not in the fourms section:
For instance a lot of views often wonder
Who the blue dog is behind Jenna in the racing scene. IMDB Provides the answer below:
When Jenna, Sylvie, and Dixie are walking in the street, a Balto look-alike can be seen behind them being pulled by its owner. This dog is Balto's old design.
What does Aniu mean?
Aniu is the inuit word for snow
What kind of dogs are Star, Nikki and Kaltag?
- Kaltag's character design is based on a Chinook.
- Nikki is a chow-chow.
- Star is an Alaskan Klee Kai.
What Kind of Dog Is Steele?
Steele is a Siberian Husky.

Star is a Siberian husky, kaltag is a Alaskan husky, (there is a
difference) Kaltag's girl also just broken up with him, because of his
black eye. And still, WHY a Chow-Chow?!?!? |

BUT Star and kaltag WERE proababaly ment to be huskies. And I don't get WHY a Chow-Chow would be in a sled team. AND Steele IS a malamute. |

Thank you you so much for clearing things up for me!!!I really thought steele was a Malamute.I would have helped even more if you would have said what Balto was though.People says hes pure Husky and others say hes a mut yet others say hes a pure wolf.Plus is he a grey wolf or some other type of wolf like a brown artic wolf or somethng. |

Thank you, this was a very good read. I have always thought that Kaltag was a Chinook. |

I was always under the impression that Steele was a malamute, but I was wrong! It makes perfect sense that he is a Siberian Husky! This is good to know, I'm glad you wrote this article to clear this up! |

As ever so many fans on this forum have said, Meeko, fans are still free to interpret the characters, the story and the "what-if" however they want. Sometimes that leads to frustrating debates and troublesome interpretations by fans, but it is a freedom we all enjoy. Yes, "officially" it is over. But as we have already seen with the question of Star being based off of an Alaskan Klee-klai, the production team itself didn't do a terribly good job in developing those characters (I could post a historical image of a Chinook of the time to demonstrate how flawed the team's notion of basing Kaltag off of one is, but I don't want to get too overbearing in providing counter research. But Chinooks? Yeah...flop ears...and big. Bigger than Kaltag. And I've never seen markings on a historical, or even modern, Chinook which even remotely resemble Kaltag's. Coloration? Yes. Markings? Nope. Heh...) Didn't mean to take anything away from your post. Because you are right. But neither are fans wrong if they wish to interpret Steele as an Alaskan Malamute instead of as a Siberian husky. |
