A History Of The Siberian Husky Breed

Siberian Husky Picture

A native of Siberia, as their name suggests, the Siberian Husky has had a very long and distinguished history. For hundred of years the Siberian Husky breed was trained by the Chukchi people to pull sleds. As a semi-nomadic tribe the Chukchi used the Siberian Husky to pull light loaded sleds for long distances, which made the Siberian Husky an excellent companion for the tribe. Through DNA testing it was recently discovered that the Siberian Husky is one of the oldest living dog breeds. The Siberian Husky was finally brought to the United States in 1909 when it participated in the All Alaska Sweepstakes Race. After this a number of Siberian Huskies were then imported to Alaska and the breed won the same race in the following year. Not only did the Siberian Husky manage to win many different races in the years to come but it also managed to gain fame for both their great speed and endurance as well. The American Kennel Club finally recognized the Siberian Husky as a breed in 1930. The breed is still widely used in various sledding, carting and racing events today. In fact the popularity of these activities is due to the Siberian Husky. Although it is becoming less common to see the Siberian Husky in such events since they are being replaced by the Alaskan Husky, which is bred specifically for speed. This is why some have started a movement in order to create races specifically for the Siberian Husky.

Instead of completing, the Siberian Husky is taking on their newest role as hiking companion, therapy dog and devoted house pet. Often times the Siberian Husky is confused with the Alaskan Malamute. However, the Alaskan Malamute is easily identified by their heavy build since they were bred for draft work and not speed. The Siberian Husky also have a unique appearance. Part of this is a double coat that helps to insulate their body against hot and cold weather. They also have a long tail that helps to protect their noses when they are asleep.
Typically the Siberian Husky will stand twenty-one to twenty-three and one half inches at the withers and the female will be slightly smaller. The ideal weight for a female is between thirty-five to fifty pounds depending on their size while the males are up to ten pounds heavier. The Siberian Husky should have a moderate bone density and it should never be slight or dense. Overall the Siberian Husky should be a little longer than their height. According to breed standards the ideal Siberian Husky is one that displays a picture of balance, grace and athletic ability. Eye color can be brown or blue and sometimes even one of each color or speckled. Probably a white mask around the face helps to enhance their eye color. The Siberian Husky has an overall facial expression of friendliness, alertness and even a rogue appearance. The coat color can range from white to black but most are black or red with white markings or shaded gray. However, the importance of the Siberian Husky isn't in color but rather their ability to perform with speed, ease and stamina.

The history of the Siberian Husky breed is both long and distinguished. There is specific Siberian Husky information about the appearance and ability of the breed.

The dogs do calm with age but you still need to keep a close eye on them.

Siberian Husky puppies also have a very thick coat and they will shed a great deal. You do not need to constantly trim or cut their coat but you do need to comb and brush them on a daily basis. The Husky is excellent at keeping its coat clean but the occasional bath would not be a bad thing as long as you use the Husky shampoo and not human shampoo.
As soon as you get them home you will notice right away that Siberian Husky puppies love to eat but at their age it is extremely important to set good eating habits and that includes feeding them once a day and making sure there are no leftovers sitting around for them to eat. Over eating is a huge problem for Siberian Husky puppies and if they develop bad habits when they are young then they can carry them into adulthood so be careful.

The Siberian Husky is a loyal pet but they are a handful and if you have no experience in owning dogs then you may not want to make Siberian Husky puppies your first jump into dog ownership. They require a lot of the right kind of care and attention and in many ways are dogs that should only be owned by experienced owners that know exactly what they need to do to raise healthy dogs.

History Of Puppies From Siberian Husky Breeders

Before you purchase a Siberian Husky puppy, check out the lists of Siberian Husky breeders and interview them, so that you can get some knowledge about the dog breed standards. A good Siberian Husky breeder will not sell his puppy to the first buyer who knocks at his door. He will ask you specific questions. He may want to know why you want a Siberian Husky puppy or he may even ask you to provide information or give veterinary reference for the pets that you already possess.

No organization takes responsibility for the breeders and it is up to the buyer to investigate and choose a breeder when looking for a purebred puppy. A good breeder will give a guarantee for his puppy because he has a commitment to his profession, as his reputation counts. Ask around and inform yourself before you choose a breeder from whom you take a puppy. But you should be able to get the history of the puppy to make sure of its good breeding. Also, breeders are always ready to help you by giving tips and later could even agree to help you train the puppy, so that you can always keep in touch with him.
If you are not satisfied with the puppy after buying it, or you are having some problems with it, the Siberian Husky breeder will be ready to take it back. But if you buy your puppy from a pet shop, pet shop owners will not care about your problems. Pet shops are only interested in the money, and the dog is treated like any other product. A Siberian Husky breeder, on the other hand is looking for improvements in the breed as he is breeding dogs. He tries to correct genetic illnesses and even improve temperament when breeding.

The Siberian Husky breeder is also interested in your knowledge of the breed and makes sure that you know that the Siberian Husky is not a guard dog, and that it has a high prey instinct. The pet shops do not show any interest in the buyer's knowledge of the breed. They are just happy to sell their puppies, and do not want to have anything to do with it after that.
Hence the pet shops cater to the people who are not concerned about the Siberian Husky being of high quality and genetically tested. But a reputable Siberian Husky breeder will aim to deliver quality which improves with every generation of breeding. He looks towards puppies having fewer genetic problems and temperament disorders than its parents. These qualities help in keeping the dog healthy and giving it a longer life.

The pet shop owner has less knowledge about each breed of dog, because he has a large variety of pets. Also, for his profit, he buys the puppies from a dog breeder, but not always good ones, but cheap ones. The parents of these puppies may not have been screened for any genetic diseases, and the puppies may therefore have many health problems in future. It is therefore advisable to take a puppy from a good Siberian Husky breeder than a pet shop, because the personal care of the breeder makes a huge difference.

The pet shop is not an ideal place to buy a Siberian Husky puppy. Siberian Husky breeders are a better choice, because they have a better knowledge and understanding of the breed. If you are seeking Siberian Husky information about buying puppies, this article will provide it for you.
