Siberian Husky Information Page









The Siberian Husky was originally developed by the Chukchi people of northeastern Siberia as an endurance sled dog. They have a delightful temperament are affectionate, gentle and have a friendly disposition. They are alert eager to please, and adaptable, extremely intelligent and independent. A medium sized working dog,quick and light on their feet and free and graceful in action. They do not display the possessive qualities of the guard dog, nor are they overly suspicious of strangers. They can be very stubborn they are easily bored, which can be a challenge at times. They are rather quiet dogs, they do not typically bark. They do talk however, in a soft "woo woo woo" sound. They can also howl quite well. They are a very pack oriented animal. Siberians are happiest sharing in family activities. Siberians do love to run and must be kept under control at all times. If you own a Siberian Husky, it is of the utmost importance that you have a fenced in yard. Huskies do love to DIG!! especially in the snow and will often dig a body-sized hole where they can feel nice and comfortable while taking a snooze in (their nest!!) they also will dig in the yard, so be aware and prepared. If you own a Husky you gotta have a shovel!! *LOL*
