Siberian Huskies are active, working dogs who need exercise. They are working sled dogs they enjoy running so it is best to keep them on a leash or in a harness, especially when they are not fully trained. They enjoy daily walks and doggie play groups.
Huskies should be brushed weekly, bathed a few times a year, and their nails should be trimmed regularly. They have a double coat with an undercoat and guard hair. The undercoat is shed twice a year and it is important to remove the old coat with a pin brush or a metal comb.
The Siberian Husky has a great personality, it loves action and excitement. This is a curious breed that needs to stay occupied. These dogs require plenty of attention and companionship. Siberian Huskies are versatile and hard-working, but not overly affectionate.
Siberians were developed by the Chukchi people in Asia to have a sled dog that was able to haul light loads over large expanses of frozen land with minimal energy expenditure. Siberians are a descendant of the Chukchi dogs. They were brought into the public eye when Siberians started winning sled races.
