As its name suggests, the Siberian husky is originally from Siberia. It was there that the Chukchi people trained them for hundreds of years to pull sleds. The Chukchi were a semi-nomadic tribe that used Siberian huskies to pull lightly loaded sleds for long distances, making them an excellent companion for the tribe. DNA testing has recently discovered that the Siberian husky is one of the oldest dog breeds.
It was not until 1909 that the Siberian Husky was brought to the United States, where it participated in the All Alaska Sweepstakes Race. Several Siberian Huskies were imported to Alaska after this initial appearance and the breed won the same race the following year. Not only did the Siberian Husky breed gain many different breeds in the years that followed, it also gained fame for its great speed and endurance.
In 1930, the American Kennel Club finally recognized the Siberian Husky as a breed. The breed is still widely used in various sled racing, karting, and racing events. Due to race, these activities have become increasingly popular. However, in many of today’s races, the Siberian husky has been replaced by the Alaskan husky, which is specially bred for speed. As a result, people have started a movement that breeds specifically for the Siberian Husky.
The most recent role of the Siberian husky is that of a hiking companion, therapy dog, and faithful household pet. People often mistake the Alaskan Malamute for the Siberian Husky. However, the Alaskan Malamute is a heavily built dog that was built for target work rather than speed. The Siberian Husky himself has a unique appearance. One part of this is their double coat, which helps keep them insulated in both hot and cold weather. They also tend to have long tails that are used to protect their noses while they sleep.
Generally, the Siberian Husky will be twenty-one to twenty-three and a 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 her size, while males weigh up to ten pounds more. The Siberian husky should have moderate bone density and should never be light or dense.
In general, the Siberian husky should be slightly longer than your height. According to breed standards, the ideal Siberian husky is one that displays an image of balance, grace, and athletic ability. The color of the eyes can be brown or blue and sometimes even one of each color or mottled. A white mask around your face will probably help enhance your eye color.
The Siberian husky has a general facial expression of kindness, alertness, and even a mischievous appearance. 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 is not in the color, but in its ability to act with speed, ease and resistance.
