You answered your own question. People assume they are a “miniature Siberian Husky” because they so closely resemble one. In all honesty, I’ve never heard of the breed. So if you showed me a picture of one (which I just googled), I’d probably say the same thing. “Hey, that looks like a smaller version of the Husky”. Its just purely a lack of education on the breed. Just simply say what you said here (they actually aren’t even related to the Husky and are more closely comparable to a Pomeranian) and you’ll of educated someone on the breed. No harm, no foul. Sometimes as an owner, that’s part of our obligation. I also own a dog that is commonly mistaken for another breed. I just smile and correct them. No big deal.

Description: The Siberian Husky is a medium sized dog, with the male dog measuring 21-23½ inches in height and the female bitch being 20-22 inches, with a weight for the dog of 45-60 pounds and the bitch being between 35-50 pounds. They were originally bred as sled dogs. They are compact and strong, almost low-slung, which makes them ideal for the work they were bred to do. They have a proportionately sized head, which is approximately half skull and half muzzle, with an oval shape to the eyes of medium size being moderately spaced. They have a double coat of medium length, which is thick, and holds in the body temperature. These dogs can tolerate temperatures as low as -50 to -60° centigrade (but we probably won’t want to be the person with them at these temperatures). Their triangular shaped ears stand erect, and are set high.

History: The Siberian Husky breed were used as guard dogs and to herd reindeer, although probably being best known for pulling sleds. They were used by the Chukchi tribe off the eastern side of the peninsula in Siberia. It was traders who originally took these dogs to Alaska, where they used to race them. Sleds used to be raced at great speed, as the dogs are so strong with an exceptional amount of stamina. The event was very popular and became official when, in 1908; the all Alaskan sweepstakes came about, which is a 408 mile race. These dogs also have a more significant history. In 1925 Alaska suffered an epidemic of diphtheria in the town of Nome. As most of Alaska is fairly isolated, with Nome being no different, the dogs were used to bring in much-needed medicines for the residents. In World War II, due to their great endurance of weather, they were used by the military in search and rescue efforts in the Arctic. In 1930 the breed were first recognized by the AKC.

Temperament: The Siberian Husky is a docile dog who is, commonly, relaxed and social. They are playful, loving and quite docile, along with their loving nature; they make an excellent house pet. They are particularly good with children and friendly to visitors, this makes them unsuitable for being a watchdog. As they appear to like everybody, they would probably greet any burglars with a toy and a wagging tail. As they bark little you are probably not even going to know someone was there. It is vital to assert authority over this breed. They are used to either leading or being led; if you do not lead them, they will probably decide that they are pack leader. As they have a high level of stamina these dogs require a lot of exercise, both mental and physical. They can become bored easily, and as a result may howl and become destructive. So if you are going to leave the dog for any period of time, they must be well exercised first. Their playfulness and love of fun makes them a great play companion for children and, with any luck, they will wear each other out.

Health issues: As a breed the Siberian Husky are prone to problems with their Urethra, eyes are another place that they can get problems and their skin. Along with hip dysplasia, which is common in many breeds. Apart from these they are healthy as a breed, living between 12 and 15 years. Grooming: These dogs shed twice a year, during this period they will require combing and brushing daily. Otherwise they are reasonably easy to groom only requiring occasional brushing or combing, as you see fit, to keep their coats in good condition.

Living conditions: Siberian Huskies will always do best in a large fenced yard. However, with adequate exercise they can live in an apartment, but they are quite active in doors so it would need to be a large apartment. They prefer cooler climates but can adapt quite well, as long as given adequate ventilation, if it is particularly warm a fan could be considered. For indoor living, they would need to be very well-trained, and particular attention needs to be paid to stopping them from getting bored.

Dogs have always been known as man’s best friend and one of the many dogs that have been associated with this anagram is the husky. A distant cousin of the wolf due to its features, the husky is one of the best companion dogs that you can own and today this article will talk about raising a healthy Siberian husky puppy.

The breed of dog is known for its dense coat and genetically, it belongs to the Spitz family of dogs. Because its forefathers came from the harsh and wintry conditions of eastern Siberia, these dogs are quite hardy and extremely resilient, which is why most people in the northern regions use these dogs as either sled drivers or as guard dogs to warn them of oncoming trespassers or the advent of other, more dangerous predators.

From this harsh background, the Siberian husky is now more known as a valuable family dog as well as one that is being more frequently entered into dog shows all over the world. The Siberian husky is quite well known for being a dog that is literally just a bottle of excitement.

They are one of the most energetic breed of dogs which require a low of space and a lot of patience because they need a lot of exercise. This is especially true of the puppies, which will be constantly seen running around and chasing dust bunnies all day long. You would be surprised that a dog with such an infamy for having a mean temperament is actually quite gentle and devoted, especially to children. This is why they have gained quite a bit of popularity as a family pet.

One of the things that you need to take of is that obedience training is a good thing to start early in this breed of dogs, as they are naturally quite dominant and stubborn dogs when they grow up. Pet experts recommend a few minutes of obedience a day when they reach a suitable age and this will ensure that they are much more docile and obedient when they grow up to a full adult. They are also quite the showboat and combined with an intelligence that is almost uncanny, means they are able to understand and absorb new tricks and skills quite fast – with always a need to show it off at opportunity.

The health of your puppy is really largely down to genetics, but keeping it healthy and happy, providing the dog with enough pet vitamins, good sources of food and plenty of activity will ensure that it will stay in the pink of health for as long as possible. Like many other breed of dogs, the breed of Siberian husky can fall prey to genetic diseases and this is usually out of control. They come naturally in old age. But don’t worry, even as puppies, Siberian Huskies are extremely strong, being known to be used for races in the Northern part of the world.

So raising a healthy Siberian husky puppy is quite easy – and it will be a welcome addition to any puppy.

As the name suggests the Siberian Husky is native to Siberia. It was there that they were trained for hundreds of years to pull sleds by the Chukchi people. The Chukchi were a semi-nomadic tribe that used the Siberian Huskies to pull sleds with light loads for long distances, which made them an excellent companion for the tribe. DNA testing has recently found that the Siberian Husky is one of the oldest breeds of dogs. It wasn’t until 1909 that the Siberian Husky was brought to the United States where it took part in the All Alaska Sweepstakes Race. A number of Siberian Huskies were imported to Alaska after this initial appearance and the breed won the same race on the following year. The Siberian Husky breed not only went on to win many different races in the following years but it also gained fame for their great speed and endurance as well.
The American Kennel Club did not recognize the Siberian Husky as a breed until 1930. Today the breed is still widely used in various sledding, carting and racing events. If fact this breed is responsible for the popularity of these activities. Although in many events it is less common to see the Siberian Husky since they are being replaced by the Alaskan Husky which is bred specially for speed. Therefore, people have started a movement that holds races specifically designed for the Siberian Husky.

The Siberian Husky has new modern roles as a hiking companion, therapy dog or devoted house pet. The Siberian Husky is often confused with the Alaskan Malamute. However, since the Alaskan Malamute was bred for draft work, and not speed, they are identified by their heavy build. The Siberian Husky on the other hand has a very unique appearance. One part of this is their double coat, which insulates them from hot and cold weather. They also have long tails that curl over their back in order to protect their noses when they sleep.

Overall the full-grown male Siberian Husky will stand twenty-one to twenty-three and one half inches at their withers with the females being slightly smaller. For females their ideal weight ranges between thirty-five to fifty pounds depending on their size and the males can be up to ten pounds more in weight. The bone density and build of a Siberian Husky should be moderate and never slight or dense. In overall appearance the Siberian Husky is slightly longer than they are in height. The ideal Siberian Husky according to breed standards displays a picture of balance, grace and athletic ability. The eyes can be brown or blue and sometimes even one of each color or speckled. A white mask around their face often enhances their eye color. The overall facial expression of the Siberian Husky is one of friendliness, alertness and even a rogue appearance. The Siberian Husky color can range from white to black but most are black or red with white markings or shaded gray. Rather than focus on color, the importance of a Siberian Husky is their ability to perform with speed, ease and stamina.

Siberian huskies have become increasingly popular in recent years since their introduction to the United States in the early part of the twentieth century. In deciding whether Siberian huskies are the pets for you, it is important to consider a number of factors including the level of commitment you are willing to put in as well as the physical environment in which you live in.

For starters, it is of primary importance to assess the level of commitment which you are willing to put in to raising your Siberian husky. It is important to note that the amount of commitment required to raise a Siberian husky is in many cases considerable and would include looking after the dog’s nutritional, training, health and social needs. Training needs for instance requires time to accomplish in order for the Siberian husky to be a fully trained dog. Also, given the sociable nature of the dog, time must be spent in interacting with it in order for it to develop healthily. Thus, for individuals who are not prepared to commit to looking after the dog’s various needs, it would not be advisable to adopt a Siberian husky.

Moreover, your living environment is also a key consideration when it comes to adopting a Siberian husky. Siberian huskies are dogs which are used to the outdoors and require wide open spaces to run about. This point can be best emphasized when considering their large physical build as compared to other dogs. It would definitely not be a good idea to adopt a Siberian husky if you are living in a cramped apartment in the city as there would not be enough space for your Siberian husky to move about freely. In contrast, Siberian huskies would make an excellent choice for a pet if you are living in the countryside with a large mansion. As such, it is important to place due consideration to space constraints before deciding to get a Siberian husky.

You would also need to consider whether you have small house animals in deciding whether to adopt a Siberian husky. While generally warm and friendly towards humans and larger pets, the voracious hunting instinct of the Siberian husky comes alive with small house animals. These include hamsters, guinea pigs, squirrels and rabbits. Siberian huskies can cause serious harm to these animals if placed in close proximity with them. As such if you do have these small house animals, it would certainly not be a good idea to adopt a Siberian husky.

If you are looking for a watch dog and think that the Siberian husky would make a good one because of its large physical build, then you might be mistaken. The friendly, warm nature of the Siberian husky towards people means that these dogs are devoid of suspicion towards people and can interact freely even with strangers. If you are looking for a watch dog, then you might want to consider other breeds of dogs such as a German shepherd.

Rounding things up, it is important for you to assess your level of commitment, living environment and needs before making the decision to adopt a Siberian husky.
