Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

The BEST book on the history of the Siberian? Empty

I've been looking and haven't been able to find any book/s about the ancient to modern history of our beloved Siberians. I own a lot of books that might dedicate a few pages to a chapter about the history, founding, breeding, origins, Chukchi, etc. Are there any books like this? I'm about to order The Cruelest Miles, but I think it will be more about the Iditarod origin story and not "how the Sibe came to be." I know from research that the Sibe and Mals are one of the oldest breeds, and the breeds most closely related DNA-wise to the wolf. That's what I'd like to read more about. The evolutionary process from wolf to Sibe. That sort of stuff. I guess basically anything and everything about the history of Sibes living with the Eskimos and ancient tribes, up to the Iditarod story. Not sure if this book exists, as maybe we just don't know much about that time period in history. Help if you can! Thanks.

How about  books about siberians that I think are informative?
Don't know about the best...
Both these books have a wealth of information, but are poorly organized.

Racing Alaskan Sled Dogs by Bill Vaudrin, Alaska Northwest Publishing Co. 1976.
(out of print, by available on Amazon)
and
The Siberian Husky by International Siberian Husky Club, 2nd ed. 1977, Lee's Print Shop.
(3rd edition available from IHSHC)

The Siberian Husky includes articles and was printed by the breeders of our second husky, Natasha.
The breeders were Bob and Lee Hills of Snoshu Kennels (p. 30-31 in last section).
They bred and raced.
Both have since passed away.
Natasha's older half brother Sonny from their kennel was a most strikingly beautiful Siberian and an award winner.
