The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of dog, which is often considered to be North America’s oldest and rarest remaining purebred indigenous domestic canine. Other names include Qimmiq (Inuit for "dog") or what is considered to be the more politically correct Canadian Inuit Dog. Although once used as the preferred method of transportation by Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, traditional working dog teams became increasingly rare in the North after the 1960s, as snowmobiles became more popular, and tended to be faster and more efficient. Today many Northerners and Nunavutmiut (Inuit living in Nunavut) prefer to run the faster, though less hardy, mixed-breed Alaskan Huskies,[citation needed] limiting the popularity and indeed the probable survival of the increasingly rare Canadian Eskimo Dog.
