A member of the working group, Siberian Huskies were bred as sled dogs. This explains their strong stamina and underscores the need to exercise them regularly. This medium sized dog was first recognized by the AKC in 1930.

Their coat is thicker coat then most other dog breeds and is made up of a dense, almost cashmere-like undercoat with a longer, more coarse top coat. They stand 20 to 23 inches at the shoulder and normally weigh between 35 to 60 pounds. Blue and brown eyes are common, as are dogs with an eye of each color.

Huskies are an independent dog breed. Though they love to be close to their families, they also tend to be roamers and do their own thing. Make sure you have a secure fence as they are known escape artists and can be quite mischievous.

This husky made a 12 mile roundtrip to the store and shoplifted a rawhide bone.

Huskies have a smooth and effortless gait, since they evolved carrying loads over great distances. They are very resilient dogs and thrive in low temperatures. How low? They are known to work and live in temperatures as low as -75 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 Celsius).


The Vocal Husky

A Husky is known for being very vocal. They are not big barkers, but big talkers. They tend to howl, much like wolves. And despite not being listed in the Top 10 Most Intelligent dogs, they're very smart.

Just ask 'em, they'll tell you.

Health issues common to the Husky are chronic diarrhea, epilepsy, eye problems, hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy.
