The Northern Inuit Dog is an unrecognized crossbred dog that originated the late 1980s, in an attempt to create a domestic dog breed more closely resembling the wolf. It currently recognized by its own independent breed club, but by no other major kennel clubs. The dog originates from crosses among German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, and a variety of Inuit breeds. Although the original stock is Canadian in origin, the breed was developed in the UK.

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or dog:
“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“There are a sort of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
