I was reading an artical , and I herd Balto is really part wolf.

Balto_claw :



When I was reading a artical I read that Balto is really not all Siberian husky! Balto is really part wolf too! But I think it is really cool that Balto is really part wolf but you can tell that he is part wolf. Cause one time I looked at a picture of him and you can tell that he is part wolf. suprising isin it!

The ways you can tell Balto is part wolf.
1. Balto has big paws, I relized.
2. His eyes look wolfish.
3.He is big in size. Bigger than a husky should be.
4.Balto is overly flufy.

So I bet that tells ya that he is really part wolf! I mean it really is shocking. So part of the movie is really true. Balto is part wolf part husky. But maby thats why Balto's puppy hood is unkown.cause he was born a wild animal. And when he was old enoughf to leave his mother he leaved his mother and was in the wild for awhile. and one day he could of waled his way to nome. well it could of happend.

I dont know what I think. Everybody has always said he was a pure bred husky. but isn't it true that people wanted to make the best sled dog they couold so they purposley bred husky's with wolves or something like that. I dont know.:/:

Keane Husky, May 31, 2006 at 17: 44

I still don't think he's part owlf, he could be 'overly fluffy'because it was winter, and dogs have on their winter coats. That and he could just be big for his breed. I'm just being optomistic,sorry.

Aniu_Blade, May 31, 2006 at 17: 51 Fan contest mod

It's actually very unlikely that he is part wolf. In the wild, wolves would be more prone to kill a dog they came in contact with than to have pups with them. Wolves just don't breed with dogs of any type when they're in the wild most times. If they were in captivity, the chances would be more likely, but the stuff about Balto really being part wolf is probably just hogwash.

Keane Husky, May 31, 2006 at 18: 00

I agree Aniu_Blade. Alot of sites(that are reliable) say that he is Siberian Husky. Only two sites(http://www.centralparknyc.org/virtualpark/southend/balto http://www.centralpark2000.com/database/balto.html) say that he was Alaskian Malamute. I haven't found any sites that say he was part wolf. Where did you get your information and is it reliable.

Kelev, May 31, 2006 at 18: 47 Member

Hmmm, is there REAL proof, like a document or something? That would clear it all up in a jiffy!

Steele0001sowner, June 01, 2006 at 01: 16 Member

My Choco Lab has big paws. So Balto was not half wolf. And dogs can have big paws even purebreds!

Keane Husky, June 01, 2006 at 06: 23

1.I agree with Steele, purbreds can have big paws. 2.Siberian Huskies are the closest dog (bsides a hybrid) that resebles a wolf. 3.So he is big, he could just be big for his breed(but, from the pictures he looks small). 4.It was winter dogs would have their winter coats one. In one picture Balto is seen with Togo and Balto looks to be the same size, if not smaller. Also when he's with the childreen they are taller than him and they look to be around 4-6.If he had wolf in him he'd be towering them. I'm not rying to be mean, but I can't see him being part wolf. :(

HE'S FLUFFY, I TELL YOU, FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Writewolf, June 01, 2006 at 22: 03 Member

the real balto was actually very small, which is why Seppala gave him up so easily to Kaasen. i've seen him in person and his paws are actually very small...

Nessa, June 02, 2006 at 00: 48 Member

good find. in real life i thought he was a purebred husky. well thats what it said from the book i read but it was like a couple of years ago.

BaltoWolf, June 02, 2006 at 02: 41 Member

.as much as i like wolves i doubt Balto is really part wolf :cry: :cry: . but if he is i'm extremely happy.

whitewolf(uk), June 02, 2006 at 17: 55 Fan project mod

I would highly doubt that the real Balto was part wolf, like Aniu-blade said, a wild wolf would more likely kill a dog if they found one!

Sierra, June 03, 2006 at 04: 14 Member

I've heard rumors that he was a malamute/wolf mix but they were not comfirmed.

ApricotWolf-werewolf, June 03, 2006 at 04: 30 Member

If Balto was part wolf, he wouldn't be accepted to race with the other dogs. Only Alaskan Huskies, Siberian Huskies, and Malamutes are allowed to race. Not any other breed. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just pointing it out.

Beauty_Jenna, June 04, 2006 at 21: 05 Fan contest mod

Yes, he is a wolf/husky.

Kodiwolf-BF-RMW, June 04, 2006 at 23: 10 Member

No, Balto was a malamute adn Togo was a husky. I'll try adn get the link to the place I found it at... I have read it mostly in 5 different books that he was a malamute but I'll try t find the website, too.

Nessa, June 06, 2006 at 00: 20 Member

im real life he was half wof.. i just read that on the internet.. great find. of course why would it say if he wasn't?

lexipooh10, June 07, 2006 at 01: 08 Member

Didn't it say in one of the movies that he is part wolf?

DrewTheWolf, June 09, 2006 at 22: 07 Fan News editor

Before posting articles you really should do reasearch instead of just looking at pictures. Balto was not part wolf he was a 'DOG'. This can be confirmed by a simple google search or slight research.

PrinceDog, June 10, 2006 at 16: 01 Member

I can't say. I thought he was a malamute (did I spell that right?).

Nox Shadow, June 17, 2006 at 02: 46 Member

Actually, i'd say balto is smaller than an average husky. look at him compared to the 5 year olds. he's half their size! And also, if you look at the picture of his and the other dogs, his paws or really no bigger than any of the others. He does look a little wolfish, but really, all huskys and malamutes do. If he really is part wolf, then that's great. it would make my day. or week, or lifetime. but i doubt it. :cry:

Nox Shadow, June 17, 2006 at 02: 55 Member

Oh, and another thing. About the real Balto's furry coat, there's a gene in the husky and malamute breed called 'wolly coat' it's recesive, but that could be what Balto had. But i've seen a lot of pictures of him and he doesn't seem to have it. He has the 'mostly black coat' gene. so if you ever see a very fluffy husky or malamute, it's prolly cuz of the gene, not cuz they're part wolf

whitewolfBalto, June 23, 2006 at 01: 22 Member

No balto was never part wolf, he was a malamute.

HalfBreed, June 29, 2006 at 20: 54 Member

OK guys lets end this here and now. I work with dogs for a living I know the Siberian Husky and Malamutes breed and also Wolves very very well. Working around wolf dogs personally also I can tell you 100% balto is NOT a wolf-hybrid. A wolf is generally closer to the size of a German Shepherd Dog, as well as wolf-hybrids. Also Sepalla is renown as one of the finest lines of purebred Siberian Huskies ever. Balto came from Sepalla. I can't remember even if the American Kennel Club had recognized the husky as a breed at the time or if Sepalla even registered his dogs then. But if he did there would be proof by going through the AKC pedigrees. Somebody mentioned the wooly coat gene. I work extensively with a Siberian Husky Rescue organization here locally and we have one right now. Here's a link to a picture of one... http://www.petharbor.org/images/asher.jpg ... Just for a little info for you guys also here's a little breakdown of the breed standards. Siberian Husky: Weight - Male - 45 - 60 lbs Female - 35 - 50 lbs Height - Male - 21 - 23.5 in Female - 20 - 22 in Feet are generally smaller, slimlined as Balto's feet were like. His ears are set high up on his head just like the breed standard implys. Just to make it short Balto fits the Breed Standard PERFECTLY Alaskan Malamute: Weight - Male - Close to 85 lbs Female - Close to 75 lbs Height - Male - Close to 25 in Female - Close to 23 in Their feet are significantly wider and their ears are lower off from the top of their heads Balto does NOT fit this standard. I will search for any pedigrees or anything like that.. written proof and all but I can tell you 100% that Balto IS A SIBERIAN HUSKY

if a wolf simailar to a coyote if found a pup would raise it as his own and even though it was a dog would think it is a wolf and mate with another wolf so it is possible he could be and a wold wouldnt always kill a pup so im on agreeing he is but maybey not

Balto wolfdog, August 15, 2006 at 00: 52 Member

Balto is not a half wolf, Balto is not a alaskan malamute, Balto is pure husky. There IS a thing called "Black husky" which is Husky that is black and white, and I seen one pure bred that looks JUST like Balto. I'll show you pics if I have too. Trust me, Balto is all husky. 1. Balto has big paws, I relized. 3.He is big in size. Bigger than a husky should be. 4.Balto is overly flufy. 1. My dog has huge paws, but he's a pure bred... 3. Balto is NOT big in size. He is the same size as a husky. 4. There is a thing called 'Long haired husky' or a husky that has long fur, and VERY fluffy. I'll show you pics if I have too.

Sorry to tell you but Balto is really a pure siberian husky the movie made that part up. sorry to dissapoint you.

southpaw, March 21, 2008 at 01: 09 Member

I agree with halfbreed. Balto was pure husky not a wolf/husky!

Ginga, April 01, 2008 at 23: 18 Member

I am a Balto expert. I've read a book by animal planet and many more. Balto is indeed, part wolf!

Grey wolf, April 21, 2008 at 21: 19 Member

Great article, but, I'm not pretty sure about this..

timbergirl, May 02, 2008 at 00: 16 Member

YOU ARE RIGHT I THINK HE IS PART WOLFBUT I AM NOT SURE. ALL I KNOW IS THAT HE HAS SIBARIAN HUSKY! HE IS NOT A MALMUTE OK PEOPLE HE IS HUSKY POSIBLY WOLF!

Rainy Days, May 20, 2008 at 22: 49 Webranker

Ginga -> Well than, obviously you're not an expert. Balto had no wolf in him at all. He was a pure-bred Siberian Husky. And so what if he was large? Ya know, Siberians can be as large as Balto. Now next time do your research and don't lie about being an expert. Timbergirl -> Don't use caps.

Dakota The Black Wolf, June 20, 2008 at 22: 13 Member

If you really want to know if balto was part wolf or husky, look at his eyes. Only mixed breeds could have blue eyes, and look at balto's pictures (even though it's black and white) it looks like he has true brown eyes. Brown eyes indicates pure breeds, so this means Balto has to be a pure husky or malamute.

Balto676, July 09, 2008 at 18: 21 Member

Hey, I belive that hes a wolf! No matter what anyone says!

howling-wolfie, August 14, 2008 at 15: 46 Member

chill guys XD we are all entitled to an opinion! i will admit he is an odd colour for a purebred husky :/ so its possable that he has part wolf, but also people must try to understand that purebreds can somtimes have "mutations" such as colour mutations or size mutations i have a pure bred parsons jack rusell terrier, he has a colour mutaution because where as JRT should be more than around 51%white with brown and black markings, my dog is 96% brown, with a small blaze of white on his underside! its possable that balto is just a husky with a similer mutatation as my JRT its the same as humans and eye colours, i wont get sciantific but you can have 2 brown eyes adults that prudice a blue eyed child. have a think about it

emmajudy, October 04, 2008 at 01: 59 Member

BALTO WAS A PURE SIBERIAN HUSKY!!!!

emmajudy, October 04, 2008 at 02: 02 Member

siberian huskys have changed since 1925 OK people. that is probably why he is very fluffy.

prettyhusky, November 18, 2008 at 23: 11 Member
