Siberian Husky

 

Siberian Huskies were used for centuries by the Chukchi Tribe. The Chukchi people are an ancient Arctic tribe, they were traditionally herding people, herding reindeer and as a watchdog they used the Siberian Husky. This was the perfect working dogs for the harsh Siberian conditions: hardy, able to integrate into small packs, and quite happy to work for hours on end. The dogs have great stamina and are lightweight.

These dogs are truly beautiful animals. However many times they are bought because of their beauty and when the realisation of having one of these dogs sets in many are dumped at the nearest SPCA.

This is not a breed for everyone, these dogs are hyperactive and need to be exercised daily, they worker dogs and this is what they live for.  They need to be groomed and there dietary needs are different to other dogs.  They like to dig holes in your garden and yes they howl!!

So think twice before you buy one and make the dog another statistic!
