Huskies:\u00a0<\/strong>They first appeared in Siberia at the beginning of the 17th century. Then the tribes needed sled dogs, as well as hunting assistants. Freight forwarders of the 17th and 18th centuries helped the development of dog breeding.
\nSoon the Americans also learned about sled dogs, and since 1908 they began to import them to the states from the Far East, where huskies proved to be excellent and became more and more popular with every passing year.Akitas:<\/strong>\u00a0These dogs have lived in Japan for more than eight thousand years. The ancestors of this breed are the Japanese hunting dogs. In the seventeenth century, there were many hunting dogs, but there were not enough watchmen, so the Akita received new training, in which they proved to be more than successful.
\nThe American military, who was in Japan, took the dogs\u2019 home. Subsequently, the Akita\u2019s American version was introduced, which today remains unrecognized by the Japanese side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
