Was he actually part wolf or was that made up for the movie?

Completely made up. He was an Alaskan/Siberian Husky. Back then dogs had not been distilled into the easily identified "breeds" as we know them today.
Like they were, but they weren't. Huskies existed, but they weren't bred into such narrow and tight genetic traits, patterns and markings as they are today.
Notice his coat is actually very shaggy but you won't find many Huskies that look long/shaggy like that, most look more sleek or "poofy" with their winter coats.
The whole "half wolf" thing was a plot device for a cartoon. There was no dog named "Steele" or anything of that nature.

Oh I thought Steele was so pretty. The only people I knew with a husky at the time was my aunt's family and they would be annoyed when I'd call their husky Steele. "He's a GOOD boy!"

I had a husky for 12 years who was copper red. He's been gone since May. Still miss him terribly.
