Country of Origin:
USA - Developed more than 3,000 years ago by the Chukchi tribe based along the coasts of the Arctic and Pacific Oceans on the peninsula that reaches out from Siberia toward Alaska. Because mostly women cared for the dogs, they were used to children and accustomed to being part of the family. Brought to the US in the 1800's by Olaf Swenson a fur trader and explorer. Siberians won the big Alaska Race 3 consecutive years. Team led by Balto ran serum to Nome in 1925 averting a diptheria epidemic.
Character:
This dog wants to be everyone's friend, a fact that makes it a less-than-ideal watchdog. Huskies love to wander, and they are full of energy and independent.
Temperment:
This dog gets along well with other Huskies, but needs to be trained carefully in order to interact with other household pets. It will not get along with cats or other small animals. Huskies have no problem with children. It is wise to have more than one Husky because they have a very hard time being left alone.

Coat is double-layered and medium-length. Every color and combination are acceptable.

Occasional grooming with a brush and comb is required, particularly when the dog is shedding.
