Siberian Husky Characteristics
Developed as working Sled Dogs, the medium-sized Siberian Huskies are born to run.
Huskies are good natured, gentle pack animals who love the company of their humans and are sociable towards other dogs too.
They are poor guardians as they are very sociable and will befriend just about anybody.
Huskies are very playful, agile, mischievous and fun dogs with lots of stamina who need an active owner who can keep them well-exercised. They enjoy the great outdoors.
The breed’s extreme intelligence and independent nature make the Siberian Huskies stubborn dogs.
This breed’s striking coat, erect ears and brush tail cause a wolfish appearance that many people find attractive. Most dogs have glacial blue eyes, but some Huskies may also have brown eyes or bi-colour eyes.
Predatory instincts are strong, so Siberians should be supervised around small animals in and around the home.
