Quick breed overview

The Siberian Husky has long been utilized as a sled dog by the indigenous peoples of eastern Siberia because of its stamina, desire for working, and resilience to harsh temperatures. The breed remains prominent in the Arctic, especially in sports like mushing. Siberian Huskies are calm and affectionate companions, but they require strenuous activity to expend energy. They have a strong pack mentality and need company to live happily. Small animals are natural prey for a Siberian Husky, so possible other pets should be treated with care.
