Info from my Junior Novelization

me :



I know the book cant be exactly true, but these are the facts it has.

In chapter 8, when Balto first see's the white wolf it says 'The wolf stared into Balto's eyes, Hooooooowwwwlllll! he called, and waited for Balto's response.

That cleary calls the white wolf a he.

It also says 'He howled again encouragingly to Balto'

If it says the white wolf is a he, he cant be Balto's mother, Aniu, in wolf quest.

If any one wanted to know breeds of characters here's a list of less obvious ones:
Steele:Malamute
Star:Husky
Nikki:Husky
Dixie:Malamute
Sylvie:Afghan
Kaltag:Husky
Doc:Saint Bernard

Please dont get mad at me if you diagree with anything.

I always thought Kaltag was a Chinook and Dixie is WAY too small to be a Husky, she'd be pulling sledges otherwise and she can't be a puppy because she hasn't got the motives of one and Nikki hasn't got the right designs for a Husky, I'm not angry with you but I'll just stick to the fact that Nikki is a Chow-Chow and Dixie is a Apso, Kaltag is also a Chinook in my book. Anyway, does it really matter? It's a cartoon, they don't have to get the breed exactly right because it is aimed at the young public, so they wouldn't be bothered anyway! So in short, these debates over the breeds of dogs is a waste of time!°x°

wolfhound, February 20, 2006 at 20: 55

ok well 1.books and movies are not usualy exactly the same 2.dixie is like a pomaranian or something she is too small to be a malamute 3.if doc is the one with the twichly eye and ear than he is a bulldog or a pug not a saint bernard °x°

Brittany, February 20, 2006 at 21: 06

I'm pretty sure Nikki is a Chow-Chow, since I own one. He has a blue tongue which Chow Chow's are famous for and his tail lays on his back. That he is medium size and has a sturdy built to him.

CatWhoHas14Tails, February 20, 2006 at 21: 14

I don't think Chow's are used for sleds anyway. Though, I'll let that one slide, seeing as all people probably did back then was just by strong and fast dogs for racing and traveling.. Wolfhound is right, books are mostly very different from movies, especially if the movie is based off of a book. But if a book is based off of a movie, it usually sticks to the facts in the movie. The book is by far wrong about Dixie being a Malamute, I know that it's a cartoon and that it's directed towards the young public, people still stick to the facts even in kids movies, so that the movie is enjoyable for the whole family (adults included) Seeing as Dixie and small, white and has an extremely curly tail in the movie, I'd say she's an American Eskimo, but, her snout it too short. However I let that slide because the stubby nose adds to her immature personality. I will, however, agree with your that the white wolf in Balto 1 is not Aniu and I will also agree that it is a male, seeing how masculine it is. So...yeah...info galore w00t w00t

me, February 20, 2006 at 21: 58

Thanx catwhohas14tails! To other people I wasn't saying it was an important debate about the breeds, I'm just stating what the book says, I know it may not be true its just what it says. Doc is the big dog who holds all the meetings, morse is the dog with the twicthy eye. :) Please everyone, dont get to mad at me!lol

balto is the best movie ever, February 20, 2006 at 22: 11

ok it depends it could heve been a mistake in the book or were ever you got it from these things happen. Either way I think that the white wolf is supposed to be Balto's mom

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 20, 2006 at 22: 13

yeah. i think that it was balto's mother. and how can dixie be a malimute?°x°

Writewolf(DVWSP), February 20, 2006 at 22: 18

i don't know what to think on the white wolf thing. but..yeah, how can dixie be a malamute?:/: °x°

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 20, 2006 at 22: 32

it is very strange:/:

Balto, February 20, 2006 at 23: 26

Dixie is NOT a malamute.lol

Balto, February 20, 2006 at 23: 31

and Nikki isn't a husky either.

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 20, 2006 at 23: 32

then what are they balto?:/:

kiba~*white wolf*~, February 20, 2006 at 23: 35

nikki is not a husky dixie is not a malmute and the white wolf is a girl good article though i didnt know there was a book on balto

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 20, 2006 at 23: 38

what does the book look like? i didn't read that part!

me, February 20, 2006 at 23: 58

I dont agree with Dixie being a Malamute either, but I'm just saying what the book says. I know it cant be all true, like with the lion king 2, kiara is a girl, but in the the lion king 1 books it says "and the future lion king was born" Obviously they didn't plan on Simba's cub to be girl right from the start. Like with Balto, they didn't intend the white wolf to be Balto's mum from the start, it just happened. On Fluke's site she has a merchendise list, the books on there. :P

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 21, 2006 at 00: 15

i think i have seen it. thanks for the helping infor, "me":P

what are you talking about?:/:

Aslan, February 21, 2006 at 01: 42

I own a malamute named,Natasha, and she's not even a year old and she's already 150 lbs. so Dixie is absolutley NOT a Malamute!:icon298: :allears::howl:

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 21, 2006 at 02: 28

im glad i could find the answere to that.:P

Nikki can't be a husky, he's too small and pudgy.

Jon, February 21, 2006 at 08: 01

I don't think Nikki is huskey, he is a chow from my knowledge, and dixie a Malamute?! She's one of those show dog toy type breeds. I can agree with every other dog/breed match up .

Jon, February 21, 2006 at 08: 01

me, February 21, 2006 at 09: 49

No, I doubted whether Dixie was a malamute, but about Nikki, would they let Chow Chow's pull a sled dog team? I still think he is some kind of husky, thanx everyone for your thoughts!:P

Mettwurst-DMP, February 21, 2006 at 12: 22

In my opinion Dixie is a mixed ty breed not a malamute or husky breed. From the trio only Kaltag is a "real" siberian Husky, Nikki can be a chow-mix with a little bit husky and another dog and Star is a alaskan husky (look at the ears of Nikki and Star, pure-breed huskies have not such ears).

me, February 21, 2006 at 12: 29

Cool facts Mettwurst-DMP!:P

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 21, 2006 at 14: 30

yeah. very interesting!

Kodiwolf-BF-RMW, February 21, 2006 at 17: 55

Dixie cannot be a malamte...:red: ;) Therst seem correct.:P

Kodiwolf-BF-RMW, February 21, 2006 at 17: 57

There are NO chows in the films... I had to study every single registered dog breed in AKC, as well as the ones not registered, yet. Dixie is also nota pomeranian, those dogs are quite small, yes, but are normally orange to tan with all fur. Dixie is a dog that is not coming to my mind right now. No chows, I think Me is right, except for the part about Dixie. Nice find.:P :P ;)

kira-wolf, February 21, 2006 at 19: 04

doc is a big dog who calls the meeting. morse is the pug/bulldog.

me, February 21, 2006 at 19: 50

Yes he is, in my book it doesn't state what breed morse is, but I'm sure he's a pug or bull dog. Keep your thoughts coming!:P

Wolf QueenTCP(AF), February 21, 2006 at 19: 55

i think morse is a french bull dog

Lil'Bit-DMP, February 21, 2006 at 21: 22

Mel is an airdale terrier ans Dipsy a cocker spaniel or cocker mix.

oh yeah! you cant forget balto!:P

Jenna_Husky, February 22, 2006 at 00: 39

Dixie is very small, so malamute is out of the question. I think (It's just me!) that She is a pomeraian.

Wolfpup_Named_Aka, February 22, 2006 at 00: 40

Nikki is a chow silly!! And dixieis to small to be a husky. :innocentgrin: P.S. copare her to jenna.

Aleu, February 22, 2006 at 01: 32

Dixie is not a malumute!!!She's way 2 small 2 even be a husky!!:eyeroll:

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 22, 2006 at 02: 07

so what is she?:/:

Brittany, February 22, 2006 at 04: 30

[quote]The breed originated in the far east of Siberia, where the Anions used to live, using the Chow Chow's ancestors to fish, hunt and for sledge pulling. These Nordic dogs were crossbred with the Mongolian nomadic sheepdogs.

Wow! Great info Brittany! He does look like a chow chow, again, I was just saying what the book said! We all know what Balto is!:P half husky, half wolf. I wish I could find out what breed Dixie is.:/:

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 22, 2006 at 14: 00

wow. thanks brittney. i now know what they are.

Kodiwolf-BF-RMW, February 22, 2006 at 19: 40

Morese is a French Bulldog, Doc is a St. Bernard, the White olf is a white wolf (lol ), and the others seem correct - Oh,and the fatter of the trio - I cannot remember his name at the moment - may be a chow-chow, but I think he is a heavy-set malamute.;) And Dixie may be a mixed bred dog, perhaps a Lhasa Apso and something else... I STILL can't remember the breed I was thinking she was!!:o :red: lol :P ;)

Kodiwolf-BF-RMW, February 22, 2006 at 19: 41

The White Wolf is built like a male, and he/she looks like one too. Big debate is still going on!°x° :o lol

me, February 22, 2006 at 21: 06

I think the debate of the white wolf will never end! And the fatter one is Nikki.:P

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 22, 2006 at 23: 34

i knew that;)

Sierra, February 23, 2006 at 00: 50

Dixie is a pomeranian in my book.

baltofan01WMP[subAM], February 23, 2006 at 01: 21

whats that?

Wolfpup_Named_Aka, February 23, 2006 at 02: 08

Pomerainians are really fluffy dogs with very crazy looking faces:angry:[I hate them a lot because they creep me out:eyebrow:]

Don't worry, we are not mad at you, every one makes mistakes.;)

Odette, February 23, 2006 at 08: 27

I always thought Aniu was balto's mother untill you said in your book that it was a he but some times the books are different to the movies I know it didnt state weather Aniu was a she wolf or a male wolf but some times they change things around in the movies and books does this help:)

Odette, February 23, 2006 at 08: 30

Also in balto 2 when Aniu appears at the end from raven transform and says only the road home my son she says it with a female voice and balto clearly says good by to you to mother so I guess Aniu is his mother:P

me, February 23, 2006 at 13: 47

Aniu is definatley Balto's mother, but I'm not sure whether the white wolf in Balto 1 is Aniu, I guess she must be, but the book said she was a he! But your right, the books arn't always spot on, its only a junior novelization after all.:)

Kodiwolf-BF-RMW, February 23, 2006 at 17: 21

No pmmies (Pomeranians) are in the film.. and thanks, I didn't remember his name was Nikki, Me

Lonestar, February 24, 2006 at 04: 36

I agree with Me. Aniu is definetely Balto's mother. Sometimes books can make mistakes.

me, March 06, 2006 at 18: 44

Heh, my smilies didn't show! Oh well, here they are.:P :P :P :P

wolf girl, March 07, 2006 at 01: 07

ya i compleetly agree i mean dixie can't be a husky she is way 2 small like if jenna a husky and she's one i mean it's nearly inpossiball!!:issedoff:

wolfcry, April 03, 2006 at 00: 23

I disagree w/ ur comment 'bout Aniu(the great white wolf)being a male,she sounds like a female in Balto 2:wolf quest.It is possible 4 the people who wrote the passage 2 make the mistake of putting he instead of she,Duh.Theres no way dixie is a malamute or a huskey,shes 2 small.Jenna is a huskey.So thurr......:crazy:

me, April 16, 2006 at 17: 36

OK, no big deal, its not that important.

Dixie? A malamute? AS IF!:icon98:

She_Wolf_Jena, June 15, 2006 at 05: 44 Member

If u ask me Dixie is way too small to be a malimute. (I have the junior novel 2;) . It also said she was white! There were alot of things different in the book). The book can't exactly be like the movie i guess because of copyright issues so that makes one guess why the white wolf is a he in the book. :)

DarkSpiritWolf, July 23, 2006 at 05: 09 Member

dixie's teeny! she cant be a malamute! and well...im still going with the thought of the white wolf being a she....

GKfan~kodi4evur, August 24, 2006 at 21: 09 Member

wolfhound u shoulnt be talkin if u have no idea what the movie is about doc is a st bernard that dog is morse

alue, October 10, 2006 at 01: 24 Member

where did you get the chapter book?

Letranger, July 10, 2007 at 20: 36 Member

Is it too late to post comments to some old articles? Anyway, obviously that book is mistaken in calling Dixie a Malamute. She's closest to a Pomeranian. Yes, they're most commonly "cinnamon"-colored, but they also come in many other colors, variations and patterns. Such as cream. Besides, color is hardly a factor--come on, Dixie is like, lilac! No real dog is going to be a match. So Kodiwolf, I disagree with you. Poms have "all fur"? What does that mean? Dixie isn't fluffy enough? Well, not all Poms are THAT poofy. They do poof 'em up a lot. ;) And I would like people to stop suggesting that Dixie is a Lhasa Apso--clearly these people have NEVER seen a Lhasa! That breed's not even close; it could never be her main one. Dixie could be a mix of small breeds, but she's most likely a Pomeranian (maybe longhaired Chihuahua too?)

Baltos Pack, May 10, 2008 at 03: 16 Member

Dixes is a Pomaranian.Alue is a wolf husky.Steel is a HUSKY!Sylvie is a afghan.Doc Sanit Bernard.Star chow chow.Kaltag is a husky. Steel is a husky becuse it says that in balto the first movie "A PURE BREED HUSKY" the owner says

Dakota The Black Wolf, June 11, 2008 at 03: 02 Member

I am just saying, isn't Dixie an American Eskimo. That's what I thought she used to be....................

Solar-Wolf, July 06, 2008 at 22: 57 Member

Great article!But you know Dixie is no malamute she is waaay too small!

Fle Bag, July 17, 2008 at 03: 44 Webranker

nikkie is defintily a chow chow. I had one and they look just alike. And yes chowchow's do pull sleds. They pull sleds around in china back at that time.

letranger, September 12, 2008 at 17: 40 Member

One last (overlong) comment: Obviously, that book is full of misinformation and calling Dixie a Malamute was a mistake. With regard to what the following members said...Zorro the Coyote: Nikki is probably a Chow Chow, yes, and Kaltag may well be a Chinook. But Dixie is no Lhasa Apso. Normally I *tend* to agree with Catwhohas14tails, but in this case I wasn't so sure about everything she said, and let's note that Dixie isn't pure white. I'd pick Pomeranian over American Eskimo Dog for her. Not that it's a bad one. So Dakota, I'd stay with Pom. Why overthink her and go beyond the best choice? She does basically seem like either sheer Pomeranian or a "mixed toy breed." (In the latter case, maybe including something a little larger, like a miniature or standard Eskie? Who knows.) Doc could easily be a St. Bernard mix. Morse/Morris is a caricaturish French Bulldog/Bulldog/Pug type, one of those pug-nosed little dogs of the bully/mastiff-like sort. Kodiwolf made several remarks here and I should correct some of what was said in them. I understand that you "had to study" dog breeds, but let me tell you, I've been doing exactly that of my own volition since I was a wee tot, and you made a few errors here despite how sure you sounded. No one's perfect, but--for one thing, Nikki could very well be a Chow Chow, so don't go claiming that there 'weren't any in the films.' Same with Pomeranian; that one, in my book, is pretty clear. Yes, Dixie is one (in all likelihood.) If you're thinking "Lhasa Apso," PLEASE go look at ANY one image of a Lhasa. I cannot for the life of me figure out why people always overlook the obvious Pom and suggest Lhasa Apso for her. Do those long-haired, silky-coated dogs with hanging ears evoke the prick-eared, fluffy, spitzy Dixie? No! My goodness! XD Additionally, Kodiwolf mentioned that Poms are typically "orange to tan," with "all fur." (Eh?) Clearly you're unaware of the variety of colors and combos they can have, aside from the ones that are perhaps most commonly seen. Not to mention that that point is hardly worth anything, considering Dixie would have to fall into something like the 'lavender & white' color category, which naturally exists in no breed! (Could she be a dyed white Pom? Again, who knows! But this is the best choice of breed to label her as!) And the fact that she is less poofy-round than real dogs of her type would be is merely the result of being an animated character; ever hear of artistic license? Do ANY of the animated dogs in the world look exactly like a real dog, breed, or mix? No. Should they? Of course not. It's fun to ID them, but let's not go crazy! Calling Dixie a purple Pomeranian is about as accurate as you can, or need bother to, get.
