Well, I joined because I have found forums very helpful in the past when you are new to a particular 4x4. So no one hit wonder posts - just a genuine question - so my appologies for asking a genuine question!!

Husky is the broad term that's used for any of the arctic breeds, malamute, Samoyed, Canadian eskimo dog, Siberian husky, northern inuit; canis lupus familiaris if we're going to be panikity

You've been quite fortunate in that the angry mob have not turned up just yet, so before they do, the following thread might help:

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/33-12-50-r16-standard-defender-61374.html

If not, try entering the tyre size in the search box and have a read through the countless threads that will come up. ;)

Oh and if you're unfortunate enough to have stirred up the locals, bear in mind that it's all intended as a bit of friendly banter, so don't take it personally :D

Em no it's not. Husky is a breed of dog, not a broad term

nope - husky was originally used for all the arctic breeds, it wasn't until later on that the siberean breed adopted it as its own (siberean husky) - of course, that's only going by what the KC says...but hey, what would they know :scratching_chin::p
 
Well one is from Alaska and one is from Siberia. The Alaskan Malamute is a much older breed. I know what I'm talking about
 
The Siberian Husky, Samoyed, and Alaskan Malamute are all breeds directly descended from the original sled dog, which 2004 DNA analysis confirms is one of the oldest breeds of dog. It is thought that the term "husky" is a corruption of the nickname "Esky" once applied to the Eskimos and subsequently to their dogs..

So do I my friend
 
Breeds descending from the Eskimo dog or Qimmiq were once found throughout the Northern Hemisphere from Siberia to Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Labrador, and Baffin Island
 
I'd just like to add......I don't give a meerkats **** what the noob thinks...he asked about tyres and he's arguing with someone who owns and works with the dogs
 
lol, and all this started cuz I gave you a compliment about your dog - dude, take it and say thanks!!
