I remember reading some years ago an article written by a sibe person about historical breeding only for type and a rather loose type at that and that to have a purebred something like at least something like 75 different foundation stock dogs would be needed.

Have not found the exact article but since I knew it was in reference to siberian huskies I fell across this.
