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!
