Siberian Husky Traits & Characteristics
Siberian Husky Appearance
A graceful dog with erect ears and a dense soft coat, the Siberian Husky stands 20 to 24 inches (51 to 61 cm) tall at the withers and weighs 35 to 60 pounds (16 to 27 kg). It is usually gray, tan, or black and white, and it may have head markings resembling a cap, a mask, or spectacles.
Siberian Husky Personality
It gets along with other dogs and animals fairly well and is gregarious with strangers. Siberians are amiable canines who do not make good guard dogs. Although the breed enjoys interacting with people of all ages, it is too independent and powerful to make a decent strolling companion for young or old. It can be a stubborn dog who is difficult to train.
Siberian Husky Temperament
Siberian huskies, the traditional canine of the north, are bright and sociable but also rather independent and stubborn. They enjoy being around people but require rigorous, kind teaching from an early age. Siberian huskies can be diggers because they like to dig out cool areas to rest, especially in hot weather.
Siberian Husky Living Needs
The Siberian Husky is an active breed that requires at least one to two hours of exercise every day, as befits its long-distance sled racing pedigree. The breed excels in sports that require dragging and running, such as dog sledding, skijoring, bikejoring, and others. A secure yard is necessary because the breed can be very cunning when attempting to escape.
Siberian Husky Care Details
Young canines should be contained in a damage-proof space because they are prone to destruction. The breed enjoys cold temperatures and overheats easily in warmer weather. During the shedding season, the thick coat necessitates brushing every day, every week, or even twice a day. Baths are typically only required a few times a year due to the breed's natural ability to self-clean.
Siberian Husky Health Details
you should be aware of hip dysplasia and eye issues before bringing a Siberian into your home. Hip dysplasia may be a hereditary disorder or it may appear gradually. A painful form of arthritis results from either the thigh bone not fitting firmly into the hip socket or cartilage wearing away between the bones.
