The Northern Inuit Dog entry identifies a dog crossbreed with England listed as its origin. Its supplied background describes Tamaskan dogs, a breed from Finland selectively bred to resemble a wolf or wolfdog. The same description says their exact origins are uncertain and characterizes them as mixed-breed dogs formed primarily from arctic breed crosses. Those listed crosses include Alaskan husky, Alaskan Malamute, Canadian Eskimo dog, German shepherd, Labrador husky and Siberian husky. The background states that Tamaskans are not recognized as a breed by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, while the American Rare Breed Association recognizes them as a breed. The entry therefore combines the Northern Inuit Dog name and England origin with background text about Tamaskan dogs from Finland. It identifies the animal as a dog and classifies its type as dog crossbreed. The official reference supplied is the Northern Inuit Dog Wikipedia page.
