Now no one will be arguing about whose what breed

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.

Steele was a Malmutie!1

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.

wow i didnt know balto had a old look

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.

Well at least the Steele=Malamute/Steele=Husky debate is officially
over.
