In the 1980's, Inuit type dogs were imported to Britain from the USA and bred with Nordic breeds of dogs such as the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute to create the Northern Inuit. These Nordic breeds have been domesticated in the UK for many years and share many characteristics with the Inuit breeds. Today’s Northern Inuit withholds the original characteristics and traits of the original Inuit dogs, i.e. a willingness to work and to please.  - J. Kelham & S. Sutton
