NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Eurohound

A eurohound is a cross between an Alaskan husky and a pointer (dog). It was created in Scandanavia. It is one of the most formidable sled dogs in the world, combining the husky's ability to work in snow and a pointer's energetic nature. The only problem is that its coat sometimes cannot sustain the amount of snow and cold required for racing because it doesn't have a double coat like the other sled dog breeds.

Re: GSP's, Euro's (1070 words)
	Part of their reasoning was to bring in fresh genes to add to our AH gene pools which were narrowing due to all of the line breeding we were doing.
	Meanwhile, sprint mushers in Scandanavia were building their super "Eurohounds", which are just crosses between Alaskan Husky or Siberians and German Shorthair or English Pointers.
	That is just a little background on what a Eurohound or a GSP or EP cross is. Personally I think Eurohound is not a particularly appropriate term, especially if the cross has less than 50% Alaska Husky.
