The Northern Inuit Dog is a breed of dog developed in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. It was bred from unknown breeds imported from North America and crossbred with the German Shepherd Dog, Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, and possibly the Samoyed dog. It was intended to be a family pet that looked like a wolf. The breed that was developed has since split into the Northern Inuit Dog, Tamaskan dog, British Timber dog, and the Utonagan. It is not recognized by any major kennel clubs but only by its own breed clubs.
