Description
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog, quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His moderately compact and well furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function in harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power, speed and endurance.
Coloring
All colors from black to pure white are allowed. A variety of markings on the head is common, including many striking patterns not found in other breeds.
Temperament
The characteristic temperament of the Siberian Husky is friendly and gentle, but also alert and outgoing. He does not display the possessive qualities of the guard dog, nor is he overly suspicious of strangers or aggressive with other dogs. Some measure of reserve and dignity may be expected in the mature dog. His intelligence, tractability, and eager disposition make him an agreeable companion and willing worker.
Origin
The Siberian Husky is native to Siberia. They were brought to Alaska in 1909 and used for centuries by the Chukchi people in Siberia to pull sleds, herd reindeer and perform watchdog functions.
