There are increasing numbers of "breeders" out there selling Siberians crossed with German Shepherds, Malamutes etc etc under a variety of pretentious and meaningless names ( Intoit Dogs, NotYouAgains etc etc) in the hope that they will con unsuspecting and naive individuals into parting with large sums of money for what are, in real terms, crossbreeds (or less politely, mongrels!)

Some will claim their dogs are "part wolf" and will market them accordingly. Some will claim that they are somehow a return to the "original" dogs of the eskimos. All these alleged "breeds" have several things in common -

1. They are not "breeds" recognised or registerable by the Kennel Club in the UK (or anywhere else for that matter), and are extremely unlikely ever to be recognised.

2. They are, at most, three or four generations away from the crossing of two unrelated breeds (Sibe/GSD cross is most common) and many are first generation crosses.

3. They cannot be shown in any dog shows organised by/licensed by the Kennel Club (apart from the "novelty" classes in Companion Shows.

4. No reputable breeder of good quality Siberian Huskies, German Shepherd Dogs or Alaskan Malamutes would ever consider allowing dogs of their breeding to be used for such a purpose. The likelihood is, therefore, that the dogs used in the original mating were poor quality, unhealth-tested, inferior examples of their respective breeds. Any health or conformational problems in these original dogs are unlikely to have been bred out of the "new breeds." 

The bottom line is this - Don't waste your hard-earned money on a dodgy crossbreed. If you want a crossbreed - get a rescue dog from Battersea or its local equivalent - You'll be helping to rehome an unwanted dog and you won't be lining the pockets of unscrupulous charlatans. If you insist on disposing of your money - give it to a rescue charity
