Everything you wanted to know about
a Siberian Husky
Welcome to the world of the Siberian Husky and all things that go along with this magnificent
breed.
Whether you’re a current Husky owner, or if you are potentially considering adding a Siberian
Husky puppy to your home, this site has what you were looking for.
The Siberian Husky, Strong, agile, free spirits. They trace their roots back thousands of
years to the Chukchi people of Siberia who raised the dogs in the villages with the women and children until
they reached the age to be able to assist the men in hunting and fishing. Only the strongest, smartest, and
best sled dogs were bred and they kept the blood line remarkably pure. This is the main reason huskies have
such similar characteristics of their cousins the wolf.
A Siberian Husky is one of the most challenging and yet rewarding breed of dogs to own. Their
unique characteristics make them unique in the dog world. Loving and gentile, they have no fear of strangers
who they greet with a wagging tail and a hearty woo or howl. This makes huskies one of the worse guard dogs
in the world. They are as likely to walk off with a stranger in the dog park as their owner. This being said
they are a pack oriented dog and have strong relationships with their pack which would include their
owners.
Huskies are also exceedingly intelligent. This poses a few challenges with Siberian husky
training. Though they are quick to learn, they are also intelligent to know that they don’t have to obey and
have a mind of their own. Much like a toddler, they can get bored easily with repetition training and will
often wander off to investigate a new smell or sound directly in the middle of training. They also have the
capability of “talking back” when given commands and will often deliberately disobey and let you know how
they feel about the situation.
It is no doubt obvious that a Siberian husky loves to run. Their strong urges, combined with
keen intelligence makes them expert escape artists. Many a husky owner has look in their back yard just in
time to see a fluffy tail streak either under, or over a fence. There are many cases where they have actually
learned how to open certain types of door handles. This can obviously pose serious rick to their well being.
With this in mine remember never to leave your Siberian husky unattended or let them run off leash in a non
enclosed area.
