Line 49: Genetic studies indicate that the Alaskan Husky originates from pre-Colonial North American Arctic village dogs (including precursors to the Alaskan Malamute) and Siberian imports (precursors to the Siberian Husky), crossbred with European breeds such as [[Pointer (dog breed)\|Pointers]], [[German Shepherd Dogs]], and [[Saluki\|Salukis]] to improve its performance.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":6" /> In 2015, a [[DNA]] study indicated that the Alaskan husky, the [[Siberian Husky]], and the [[Alaskan Malamute]] share a close genetic relationship between each other and were related to [[~~Chukchi~~Chukotka sled ~~Peninsula~~dog\|Chukotka]] sled -dogs]] from [[Siberia]]. They were separate to the two [[Canadian Eskimo Dog\|Inuit dogs]]: the [[Canadian Eskimo Dog]] and the [[Greenland Dog]]. The Siberian Husky and the Malamute both had maintained their Siberian lineage and had contributed significantly to the Alaskan husky, which was developed through crossing with [[Europe]]an breeds.<ref name=":6">{{cite journal\|doi=10.1038/hdy.2015.49\|pmid=26103948\|title=Using multiple markers to elucidate the ancient, historical and modern relationships among North American Arctic dog breeds\|journal=Heredity\|volume=115\|issue=6\|pages=488–495\|year=2015\|last1=Brown\|first1=S K\|last2=Darwent\|first2=C M\|last3=Wictum\|first3=E J\|last4=Sacks\|first4=B N\|pmc=4806895}}</ref> Other breeds identified as having contributed to the Alaskan husky sled dog gene pool include Pointers, and a number of other non-arctic breeds by breed and type group. Genetic variation in the Alaskan husky has been analyzed based on the groupings of two purpose-driven distinct populations within the Alaskan sled dog gene pool: A distance group, and a sprint group:<ref name=":1" />
