The largest of all the
spitz types, notably the Canadian Eskimo Dog
and the Greenland Dog, were used to pull sleds up until the 19th
century. During that century, when fur trapping became a lucrative
business, people began to realize that size did not necessarily relate
with endurance, and the smaller
Siberian Husky came to be used more
frequently in Canada and Alaska. The Finnish Lapphund was used by the
Sami people.
