Dogs 101 Siberian husky
a group of siberian huskies saved Nome
Alaska that’s quite an accomplishment
for a dog that’s right in 1925 a killer
diphtheria outbreak crippled the town
teams of siberian huskies mushed through
a blinding blizzard to deliver
life-saving serum the lead dog Balto is
even memorialized with a statue in New
York’s Central Park Huskies are the
strong silent type
but boy can they howl Huskies how can be
heard up to ten miles away and they’re a
real dog of a dog not a toy dog not a
pretend dog this is a real dog
as its name implies the Siberian Husky
is from the extreme northeast of Siberia
the tchotchke people developed this dog
to work in harsh arctic conditions
Huskies were brought to America by way
of Alaska in 1909 this is the
quintessential sled dog they love to be
out in the cold weather and they love to
be pulling sleds
this breed has striking eyes
there are several color variations
including mixed but I see blue eyes are
most prevalent and always this is a dog
bill for the Arctic
well furred toes insulate from sub-zero
temperatures strong claws provide
traction these dogs are also great at
digging can be a nuisance sometimes in a
garden but they will dig a little hole
and can in the snow and can get down
under the wind this dog has a double
layered coat so dense arctic chills are
no sweat and it allows them to withstand
temperatures that some people have
reported to be as low as up to like
minus 50 or 60 the Siberian Husky has
also developed an uncanny ability this
dog can change its metabolism scientists
still don’t understand exactly how that
works they can race for hours and hours
burning energy but reserving their fat
stores so it prevents them from getting
fatigued
Siberian Huskies can be trained just
don’t try to outsmart them they’re smart
enough to figure out you know maybe I
don’t want to do this today where other
dogs are just gonna go with the flow
Huskies need plenty of space to expend
their considerable energy these dogs
were bred to work in the Arctic
I usually don’t recommend them for
tropical subtropical areas that dense
double coat demands attention you need
to make sure that you groom them at
least weekly because they do have a very
dense undercoat and you don’t want that
to get matted though robust this dog
does have a few health issues Huskies
have issues with their hips they can
also have some eye problems too
this is a PAC oriented animal sabirah
Huskies have an affinity for children
and they make a wonderful family pet
there are a lot of breed variations but
in general the Siberian Husky does
better in colder climates they have some
hip and eye problems but are generally
healthy a weekly brushing is recommended
training Huskies requires patience the
Siberian Husky loves to be part of a
pack and will fit in well with the right
family
