utonagon ... designer dog

Post by troop »

i have just rehomed a ute from our local rescue he looks just like a wolf ( pics on facebook if your interested until i can post on here) :oops: .... anyway there is not a lot of information about them although i believe they are a british breed? they were known as the northern inuit but the breed society split into two for some reason the type has been bred since the eighties using the german shepherd,alaskan malamute and siberian husky as a base. sounds like a crazy combination. anyway we were told that he was aggressive and had bitten atleast 3 people and seemed to suffer with a weird stary eyed blankness neither of which has happened while we have had him. infact other than being nervous and seemingly unsocialised he is the perfect if not very hairy companion. we are slowly integrating him into the pack and getting him used to life in the country. i have just started his training which is going ok he seems to have selective hearing :lol: :roll: but his re call is pretty good considering the husky in there and he is very clever im looking forward to thinking up things for him to try.

I just googled "utonagan" and lots of informative sites came up. These are gorgeous dogs!

I also googled "utonagon", and yes I agree, they are beautiful dogs! Strangely, I've seen similar breeds around my area, but they have more of the German Shepherd/Wolf look to them, so I can't say they're utonagons! :shock:
