that's pretty cool!

One thing that gets me is that people go about developing new breeds on their own, I don't know... just that enough dogs out there needs home already, y'know?

True, but up in Alaska? I thought it was interesting (and good, actually) that these breeders had a working rescue, just in case some of their dogs fell through the cracks somehow. Not everyone calls the breeder back when something happens (or knows who to call). I did kind of wonder, as I was reading about them - why take a Husky and scale it down? But then, I love big dogs and have had them all my life. Nothing under 50# ever in my house in the canine division.
