Headscratchers / Balto II: Wolf Quest

• It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that Aleu's siblings would all be adopted except her. I mean, I understand that they went with the explanation of Aleu looked more like a wolf from Balto while her siblings took on a more husky appearance from Jenna, but the physical looks of all the pups doesn't really make up for the fact that they're all still genetically wolfdogs like Balto. It can be forgiven because the movies take place in 1920's Alaska where they likely didn't know much about breed stability (wolfdogs are incredibly hard to care for at best or outright unsuitable to be pets at worst due to their temperaments and heightened prey drive in comparison to your run-of-the-mill domestic dog) and were likely running on "Balto is famous and now he's sired a litter of puppies". But still, the point still stands: Aleu looked like a wolf, but still had dog blood in her veins; her siblings looked like dogs, but still had wolf blood in their veins.
  • You said it yourself, the other pups looked like huskies and she didn't. People wanted the Huskies, not the one that looks like a mutt.
  • Some of the potential pup-adopters may also have been worried that she'd be mistaken for a wolf and shot, as nearly happened a little later in the film. Bad enough to lose your dog to it being hit by a car, by pure accident; having it shot by someone out of ignorance would be even more awful.
