Bullsky Mastiff

In the recent years, the popularity of designer breeds seems to be on the rise. Therefore, due to their recent development, not much is documented on the creation of the Bullsky Mastiff breed. Bullmastiffs, however, were originally from England in the 1860’s. They were made from the crossbreeding of a Bulldog and a Mastiff, and their jobs were to guard large estates and monitor game preserves to keep poachers away. Although they were courageous and strong, these dogs did not hurt the poachers that they caught but would instead pin and hold them. The Yatsuk region of Northern Siberia is where the Siberian Husky was found. They were used as sled dogs, which was the main source of transportation for the Chukchi people. When not pulling the sleds, these dogs were spending time with the women and children, which is what made them such friendly and non-aggressive family pets. By 1909, Siberian Huskies were sent to Alaska. A team of Siberian Huskies owned by Charles Fox Ramsay and driven by John Johnson were the winners of a 400 mile long race that took place in 1910. From that time and for a decade after, this breed was used by sled racing enthusiasts from all over. There was a diphtheria epidemic in the year of 1925 in Nome, Alaska, and the quickest way to transport the much needed antitoxins more than 600 miles away was by sled dog. Siberian Huskies were used for this heroic task, which helped they become more known and respected across the United States. This breed also contributed to World War II, where they were used by the U.S. army for the Arctic Circle search and rescue units.
