Husky is a general term for several breeds of dogs used as sled dogs. Because of strength and stamina, the name "Husky" is used extensively for sports mascots. Huskies were originally used as sled dogs in northern regions but are now also kept as pets. Historically, the word "husky" is a corruption of the derogative term "Eskie," also given to the Esquimaux tribes that came into contact with Europeans who made early expeditions into their lands.
