The Siberian Husky

Huskies are a handful, I should know because I own one. But, what most people don’t know, is their background heritage. Centuries ago, the main purpose of owning a husking was to pull sleds in Siberia. They also thrived in herding reindeer and protecting their owners. Huskies were later brought to Alaska for sled dog races. Even though huskies may be intimidating by their wolf appearance, they are actually very gentle, friendly, and happy. One thing I have learned from owning a husky Is that they have unlimited energy, and they LOVE to run. So, if you are someone who is very outdoorsy and loves to go on runs, then a husky is a perfect companion for you. When you think of a husky, you probably think of them as a tall and big dog. But actually, huskies tend to be short and stocky, to pull sleds. Since huskies have a background of living in unbearable temperatures, their coat is extremely thick and can withstand temperatures as low as -75F. Huskies have a double coat, which means one coat keeps them warm, and the other keeps them cool. That is one reason why you cannot shave a husky, because their life could be at risk. Also, their coat can shed enormous amount of fur every day! So, it may be a good idea to take him/her to the groomer often.
