Siberian Husky History, Form and Function, Livability and Lovability

https://www.petzpaws.com/ The Siberian Husky is in the Working Group with similar dogs like the American dog - the Alaskan Malamute, the Japanese dog the Akita, and the Tibetan dog breed, the Tibetan Mastiff.  Subscribe to be notified about new dog breed videos.  The Siberian Husky is not just a figurehead for the Working Group either, like the Great Dane.  The Siberian Husky actually has fun working too, like racing over 400 miles of snow, kind of fun.  The Chukchi people developed the Siberian Husky for traversing Siberian.  I've never been to Siberia, but that sounds like a tough job.  And the Chukchi people have pureblood Siberian Huskies, meaning they have a spirit unique only to them.  But only 37 miles from the Russian Chukchi Peninsula - but in America - the Alaskan frontier has similar conditions, and around 1900 the Americans heard from across the Bering Straits, which separates the Siberian and Alaskan peninsula that a superior dog existed.  Remember, we didn't have snowmobiles, planes, and helicopters back then, so the Siberian Husky was a very big deal.  And by 1909 a complete team of Siberian Huskies were racing across Alaska - proving that good news even travels fast in harsh climates. Without hesitation, Charles Fox Maule Ramsay - who must have been sick of losing, because he brought a ton of them to Alaska for musher John "Iron Man" Johnson's team.  Look, I'm going to keep it real with you - these were men.  Traveling over 400 miles in the snow, with a few dogs - just for fun!  Little did they know that dog racing would come in handy because in 1925 Nome, Alaska had an outbreak of Diphtheria.  Diphtheria is no joke either - it spreads super easily from person to person just by breathing and is often fatal.  But the good news is that the vaccine exists, the bad news for Nome, Alaska was that the serum was 5 1/2 days and 674 miles away near the train station in Nenana, Alaska.  For reference, that's the same distance from the University of Washington - home of the Huskies, to Bozeman, Montana - it's a 10 1/2 hour drive!  And this is what you get with a Siberian Husky: determination, a can-do attitude, a need to please, and a desire to be challenged.  The Siberian Husky isn't a bulky dog, but they are clean, and elegant, like PetzPaws human dog walking apparel, but the Siberian Husky can be mischievous - the PetzPaws Husky sunglasses aren't mischievous - they keep the sun out of your eyes like a good good boy.  The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized dog breed that moves fluidly and exerts very little energy in their movements which allows them to run long distances effortlessly.  The Siberian Husky is sturdy underneath all the fur, which does modulate the Husky's temperature.  That's my nice way of saying they shed their double coat of fur - but the good news is that grooming is optional and shampooing is infrequent.  The ears are upright and the eyes are dark - adapted traits from life in Siberia - you need to hear predators, and need to see in snowy conditions.  Yes, the Husky is stunning to look at, but they may overwhelm an innocent pet parent. The Siberian Husky is gorgeous so AKC conformation is logical, but they aren't just for looks - they'll also do great in sporting events like AKC Obedience, Rally, and Agility competition - all of these events are going to develop your bond, and more importantly develop positive reinforcement and a sense of accomplishment for you both.  And your bond will last a long time too, the Siberian Husky can live to be 12-15 years old!  The Siberian Husky boy's height at the withers is 21 to 23 1/2  and they weigh 45-60 pounds; while the lady's height is 20-22 inches at the withers and weighs 35 to 50 pounds.  Are you considering a Siberian Husky?
