Description

Siberian Huskies are a medium sized, strong, graceful, and tenacious sled dog. They are a handsome dog, energetic and dignified. While they are a medium sized dog, they are extremely strong, able to pull light loads at moderate speeds for long distances. The Siberian Husky is a strong, compact, working breed of dogs. It can withstand temperatures from -58 to -76 degrees F (-50 degrees to -60 degrees C). The Siberian Husky comes in all colors from black to pure white. Some are brown to amber. And some Huskies can be mistaken for wolves becuase of the drak to light gray coating.
Their eyes are almond shaped and they have small ears. Some huskies have one brown eye and one blue eye that is called bi-eyed. If they have an eye combination of brown and blue together, it is called perti-eyed. Most Siberians have either blue, brown, or amber colored eyes.

Exercise

Siberian Huskies need a fair amount of exercise. They love to run and play. However they should NOT be excessivly exercised in warm weather. They need a large fenced in yard to run and play in. The fence should have bury wire at the base because these dogs will dig under it and run off hunting.

Siberian Huskies are gentle but playful creatures. they are willful and michievious. This cheerful breed is very fond of his/her family. They are puppies at heart and very clever and socilble.
