The Siberian Husky is a member of the working group of dogs. These are usually dogs that pull sleds, rescue people, or otherwise help people or other animals by rescuing or protecting them. Most of these dogs are intelligent and courageous.
Siberian Huskies originated in northeast Russia in the Chukchi area where it was used as a sled dog. Weighing around 50 pounds and standing about 22 – 25 inches tall, it still excels at this task and is well represented at the 408 mile All-Alaska race.
This is an adventurous, independent and fun-loving dog. It can be stubborn and mischievous too, although it has a high desire for human or other canine companions.
This dog was bred to run for miles in the cold and needs a lot of exercise. It prefers cooler weather and can spend equal time indoors and out. The heavy coat will need frequent brushing for maintenance.
