Hiya! Sorry for the late reply but I've been playing with my new husky.
That's understandable. Do you him for sledding or is that your new pet? 
No, no sledding! He's just going to be my companion.
That's always fun. I recently got a new dog myself in the past few months. 
That's awesome! Do you happen to know anything about husky dogs? I'm trying to learn all I can to make sure it goes well!
It's a general term used for a specific breed of sled-dog. Their notable traits are both strength and speed. They are constantly being cross-bred in order to improve their overall performance. 
Is that their only legacy, sleds? Not that it's wrong at all! But what about their intelligence and the likes?
It's genetically similar to extinct variations of wolves. They are primarily bred entirely for sled races. 
They do look a lot like wolves! Which is why I adore them.. Do they carry any wolf habits by chance?
It is the fact that they have wolf habits that people use them. Sled dogs run in teams, which are easy to form due to their desire to form packs and run together. Convenient, right?
