Siberian Husky: The Wonder Dog

Dogs come in many shapes and sizes. Some are small, big, or medium sized. They also vary in their duties or uses to the human world. Others are just for fun, others provide company, and still others help with the disabled. But some breeds of dogs are especially noted for their hard work. Such dogs are the Siberian Huskies.

Siberian huskies generally have thicker coats than most dogs. This is especially essential, since they live in extreme temperatures. They have an almost menacing, wolf-like appearance, with triangular-shaped ears that is almost always erect, and a long brush tail that curves over their backs. This breed is also noted for being very good in hearing though their ears are soft. They can pinpoint the location where a sound may come from. They also come in a variety of sizes, like black, white, or a combination of both, grey, and brown. They shed their coats once a year, for better adjusting to cold temperatures.

Siberian Husky
A Siberian husky is a type of working dog that is found in the arctic regions. Known to withstand extreme lows in temperature, these dogs are tough workers used in ushering reindeers, pulling sleds, and maintaining warmth for the children in the arctic region.

They can never become good house guards, though, because of their gentle nature. But even so, they make good companions and good friends. They go along well with children, and can be kept as house pets and can even be made into show dogs for dog shows because of their wolf like appearance. These dogs are also very energetic and love to run. This is an important characteristic, since they are utilized as sled pullers for the people.

These dogs are also entered into races like the dogsled racing. This is a sport popular in Alaska, where they enter crossbreed types of Siberian huskies that are more adept in running fast. This crossbreeds are also noted for their less heavy coats than the usual Siberian husky.

The Siberian husky is truly a wonderful dog to take care of. They need proper training, though. They represent a challenge for they are a stubborn lot. But with the right knowledge and handling, they can become good pets. So why not try taking care of one?

Hi. I have a husky right now. She’s about 15 years old now but we got her when she was around 3 years old. When we got our cat later they had a few issues. but after a year they would sleep next to eachother. I love my husky and shes the most frendly dog i know. Just watch out for one thing though if you do get one, when they run away they run FAST.

Nice.
Huskies are my favorite breed of dog.
They often shed twice a year depending on the temperature
and hormone levels though.
tyler - they are good with cats but you’ll need to
socialize your husky at an early age. They’re known to have a high prey drive.
