Whats ur opinion about this?

People said that huskies are very free-spirited and if we let them off-leash there's a big chance we won't see our husky ever again.I know this really well and that's why I always hold Diamond's leash very tightly.One night when me,Diamond and my dad are walking around the neighbourhood,Diamond saw an old man(click my previous discussion and read my reply)and he quickly released himself from the collar.Yes,he ran away.I'm quite nervous that time,but when I reached home,Diamond was sitting in…See More

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.
