Siberian Husky

Dog breed profile

The Siberian Husky is a breed originally developed by the Chukchi people of Siberia for sled pulling and endurance in cold climates. Known for their striking wolf-like appearance and friendly temperament, they are highly social and enjoy being part of a family or pack. Their thick double coat protects them in cold weather but requires regular grooming to manage shedding. Huskies are very energetic and need ample daily exercise to stay happy and healthy. They tend to be independent and sometimes stubborn, so consistent training and early socialization are important. This breed is best suited for active owners who can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. Due to their strong prey drive and high energy, they may not be ideal for homes with small pets or those seeking a low-maintenance companion.
