It was later used for similar purposes in Alaska, USA.

Physical appearance
Huskys are dogs strong and muscular large size, which adapt to different climates, modifying their own fur depending on the environment in which they are found. That's why you should know that the Siberian Husky's fur change occurs in the spring and autumn months. It will be during this period that we should intensify brushing. The length of your coat is medium.
The Siberian Husky clearly reminds us of a wolf. They have a white face, marked by a red, brown, blonde, gray or black crown. Depending on the example it may have one or another color. On top it has two pointed and triangular-shaped ears. Some examples might be completely white.
As for the eyes, they are usually hazelnut brown or sky blue although the species sometimes presents heterochromia, the mutation that gives them a eye of every color. At the end of the loin we find a thick tail that curls over the spine and drops to the bottom when relaxed.
Siberian Husky Personality
The Siberian Husky is not only one of the most popular dogs for its physical appearance, it is his personality that makes this breed of dog special. In general, these are dogs affectionate, playful and affable who like to be in the middle of the family nucleus. Sometimes he can be a little distant with strangers, something very different from the treatment he can have with us, people he trusts.
The Husky's story is linked to the daily routine of women and children, so you shouldn't worry if your Husky and your child spend several hours playing, as long as both are well educated. The little ones in the house must learn to play with the dog calmly, while the dog must know what limits it has to respect. If you are not sure that the game can go well (whether it is the fault of one or the other) always be present and prevent an unwanted situation from happening.
It's a race that like the company of other dogs both at home and away. For this reason and to avoid behavioral problems in the future we must socialize our Husky dog. A dog's socialization allows it to be able to communicate with other pets, people and objects without fear or aggression.It is very important that we take time to develop knowledge of the outside world as it will make us enjoy a social, fearless and happy dog.
Health
Husky is a dog that usually have excellent health. Some problems of this breed stem from the dogs that have light eyes and that can develop cataracts, corneal dystrophy or progressive retinal atrophy. In addition, cancer may appear in older specimens. Elbow or hip dysplasia are uncommon.
Husky care
Husky is a dog that generally needs a high dose of daily exercise. This will depend on each specific specimen, so we cannot determine exactly how often you should walk your dog, it will depend on some specific factors. What we should be clear about is that you will need to take long walks and even exercise if we see you a little nervous. Discover in PeritoAnimal exercises for adult puppies.
Like any other dog, it should have basic elements at its disposal such as a bed, food and drink container, toys, teethers or prizes. Everything it takes to make you one more member of the family.
THE Husky feeding it must always be of high quality (like any other dog). You should check the recommended amount on the package depending on your weight and daily activity. An excess could cause overweight for our beloved pet. Especially at the time of shed or when you notice that you are weaker, you should consult your veterinarian to find out if it is advisable to give him vitamins that will help him to improve his appearance. Offering a boiled egg or a few drops of olive oil once a week will impact your fur, leaving it beautiful and silky.
You should avoid long exposures to the sun in summer and you should always have a container with clean water at your disposal.
By having a medium coat size and two different coats of coat, we must take care of the coat of the Siberian Husky. Among these precautions, we highlight the importance of brushing it daily, paying attention during the moulting or bathing it once a month or every month and a half (so as not to eliminate your skin's natural protective layer).
Siberian Husky Puppy - Training and Education
Many people believe that educating or training a dog is about teaching him fun tricks, the truth is that it goes far beyond that. We must educate our Husky in training orders that are truly helpful for his safety such as teaching him to be quiet or teaching him to come here. In PeritoAnimal you will find the basic commands that you should teach your puppy.
the husky is a docile breed in dressage although it depends on each specific copy. Not all Huskys are equally curious, each has its own personality. Being situated at number 45 in Stanley Coren's classification we should know that we will need about 10-15 minutes of mental stimulation daily to positively and correctly remember all the orders that you know. Husky responds very well to positive reinforcement, with which we will achieve very good results.
Currently the Husky is considered a companion dog. However, they are still used for certain sports because of their endurance and excellent physical fitness. We highlight exercises like Mushing or Skijoring.
