The Siberian Husky is a member of
the Spitz family. He is a medium-sized working dog and stands 23 1/2
inches tall at the shoulder. He has a thick double coat that is medium long and
comes in all colours including white.
The
Siberian Husky has a sweet nature and is a breed suitable for anyone who
does not mind a dog who is playful, challenging, and independent.
The owner of a Husky may need to exercise considerable patience when
training. Boredom in this breed, like many others, can lead to destructive
behaviour. This is an active, energetic worker who requires a lot of
exercise to stay in shape.
This breed does have a roaming instinct and needs
to be kept in a fenced-in area. Because of his thick coat, the Husky
does better in cooler climates and can live happily outdoors. A friendly,
gentle dog, the Siberian Husky is a dependable and playful pet. A born
sled dog, he will happily pull a young child in a wagon or sled.
