<P> The other story relating to this breed is that a few Canadian Eskimo Dogs or Labrador Huskys were brought into the UK from the USA in the late 70s or early 80s and crossbred with Alaskan Malamutes and German Shepherd Dogs . This version of events should be substantiated by the publication of importation and quarantine documents; however, this has never happened . </P> <P> Over the years various groups have split from the original Northern Inuit Society to form their own breed groups . These have included The Inuit Dog Association, The British Timber dog, Anglo Wulfdog, The British Inuit Dog Club, and The Utonagan Society; the latter has also now splintered into different groups . None of these clubs have been accepted by larger organizations, such as the British Kennel Club . </P> <P> In 2011 Northern Inuit dogs were cast as the direwolves in the first season of the HBO TV series Game of Thrones, based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin . </P>
