A Herald travel feature SECTION THE HERALD iWl Page Heres a cooling notion Visitors to Canada North may soon be taking tours by pulled by the legendary Eskimo dog Such tours are now In the planning stages and that 3 remarkable considering that as recently as there was only one such dog left in the world First the existence of the Eskimo dog was threatened when the airplane and later the snowmobile began opera I ing in the Par North By thai time fewer lived nomad lives so the need for dogs had decreased Then as serious efforts were being made to rescue him from oblivion a lack of funds for his sustenance nearly wrote finis to the last chapter of his exciting existence Fortunately the govern men of the Northwest tories came to the rescue with the funds needed by the Eskimo Dog Research Foundation to keep Its survival efforts alive and its dogs healthy Bill Carpenter executive director of the Foundation had a feeling the rising costs of gasoline and snowmobile maintenance would some day reverse the situation Today the are using more and more dogs especially in the eastern Arctic His dream of returning his beloved Eskimo dog to the niche he reels is his by right Is now question of time It all started En the winter of when acting on tho suggestion of his friend John McGraw Cnrpenterdecidedto do something about the mo dog At that time there was only one Eskimo dog left of the registered line a problem that had to be surmounted since In the dog world as elsewhere It takes two to reproduce To get the line going again Indigenous dogs were bought in from so far north there was no potential for contamination They had no papers but were considered safe since they came from Isolated spots as Igloollk the Boothia Peninsula and Somerset Island all north of the Arctic Circle The breeding program worked so well that close to dogs have been provided to Inuit hunters and trappers in faraway outposts Carpenter provides only pairs of dogs so the Inuit breed their own teams He points out that his dog is the Canis borealls an aboriginal breed that was called the Esquimaux then the Husky and finally the Eskimo The proper name according to Carpenter should be the Canadian Eskimo Dog It is not to be confused with the Alaskan Malamute nor the smaller Siberian Husky since the Canadian Kennel Club recognized It as an aboriginal breed in the late 19th century The inuit call him In the western Arctic and Qimmiq in the east It is a unique animal a primitive line of dogs that has not changed in 000 years It seems to understand its inter dependence with man since at onetime one could not survive without the other The Eskimo dog can weigh as much as kg lb and measure 71 28 In at the shoulder The ears are pointed and the eyes small The tail Is curled high and the dog comes In a variety of colors In Canada they are mostly used as pulling or pack dogs They can cover to km to miles a day for days each dog in the team pulling up to kg As pack dogs they can carry about 18 kg lb As hunting dogs they good at finding seal breathing holes and they keep polar bean at a safe distance Their upkeep is simple They cat mainly fish but also walrus seal and caribou meal when available If the Eskimo dog Is some times indispensable for the Inuit It can be very useful to the white man too For Instance dog team trips for tourists arc in the planning stages and mining companies that have problems with polar bears find that Eskimo dogs keep them at bay The Eskimo dog has been used successfully in past Antarctic expeditions and 8532086 A CLASSIC An immaculate
