Our Story
Julestar Dream Maker, AKA Cody, is an independently bred Northern Inuit / Timber dog from the JuleStar kennels. It is a crossbreed/breed in development dating back to the 1980’s, and perhaps most recently famed for playing the Direwolf pups in the hit to series Game of Thrones and ‘Rollo’ in the series Outlander. The respective breed clubs will be/are seeking KC recognition (comparable to an extent with the Dutch 'Saarloos' breed, which became KC recognized since 1975, and FCI since 1977).
In the 1980s five wolfy type dogs of unknown lineage were imported from USA to UK. These were bred to Malamutes, Siberian Huskies and GSD crosses. The goals were to create a wolfy appearance with a good family temperament. These were called ‘Wolf Dogs.’ Records were not kept. Around 1988, as there was no wolf content, the name was changed to Northern Inuit and The Northern Inuit Society was formed. Over time there were differences of opinion on development of the breed and there were was a split resulting in several different breed clubs.
The Northern Inuit type breed is being developed with a "Home Pet" temperament and a wolf-like appearance. They are often described as "Wolf Look-a-likes" and have zero or dismissible actual wolf content.
