How Is a Siberian husky?

The Siberian husky is the best known of the so-called “Nordic” breeds; it attracts many people, first of all, for its wolf -like appearance. Without a doubt, he is a beautiful dog and, in addition, very affectionate.

It is a dog prepared to live in the snow and pull sleds. It is capable of traveling great distances every day; 50 km is not much for a Siberian husky.

It wasn’t that many years ago that he started thinking of them as pets instead of just working dogs.

Instructions for a Siberian husky

1. Until a few years ago, he only had to pull the Eskimo sleds in the polar zone; this has given him as a characteristic, among others, his great need to move a lot.
2. The history of these dogs lies in their breeding by the Eskimos with the sole purpose of making them work pulling sleds, which is why their lives were dedicated to work and not to being pets. They have lived this way for centuries.
3. The character of these dogs is not what one expects. As affectionate as he may be, we must not forget what is behind his precious costume.
4. They are quite primitive dogs, recently domesticated.
5. If you are interested in your dog obeying you, it is necessary to give it a demanding treatment. As affectionate as it may be, you should not be fooled by this attitude. If you are not demanding and authoritarian, you will end up living with a dog that will do whatever comes to mind.
6. He is a helpful, attentive and very affectionate dog. He is a dog that has a short bark and is not as annoying as other dogs.
7. It usually howls like wolves, but rarely barks. Despite being a large and strong dog, it very rarely bites.
8. They adapt to any place but due to their instinct to travel long distances it is very good that you take them for a walk for a long time and very often.
9. It is a dog that tolerates the cold and is in good health in general, but usually has hip dysplasia and eye problems.
