Siberian Huskies are beautiful and graceful dogs.  They are friendly, loyal, good with children, other animals, and extremely intelligent.  Given their friendly nature, Huskies do not have strong instincts as a watch dog. Huskies are a highly pack oriented breed.  They are happiest when they are with their families and/or other dogs.  A Husky that is left alone for long periods of time can become destructive.  They are known to chew and dig when left alone or if they become bored. 

Siberian Huskies are considered a working breed by the American Kennel Club.  As a result, they need to be exercised daily.  They can be a wonderful walking or jogging partner.  It is of utmost importance that a Husky never be off his/her leash unless they are in a penned in area.  Siberian Huskies have strong instincts to run.  Instincts can prove to be much stronger forces than any amount of training received by a Husky.  An owner must always keep this in mind.

Huskies are very clean dogs.   They will groom themselves often.  Siberian Huskies shed their entire coat of fur twice a year.  During this time, it is not uncommon to have a bushel basket full of fur.  It is suggested that brushing your Husky a few times a day will help this process move along more quickly. 

As mentioned above, Huskies like to do their fair share of chewing and digging.  They chew primarily when they are puppies and are teething.  The best way to curb behaviors such as chewing on shoes and furniture is to get them quality toys that they can chew on.  We do not recommend any toys that are stuffed.  The puppies and adult dogs alike can choke on the stuffing.   Kong toys and rawhides are great choices for a teething puppy or an adult Husky who enjoys his/her share of chewing.  Digging is a pastime that many Huskies enjoy.  Training them at an early age to prevent digging can be helpful.  It can also be helpful to set aside a special place for your Husky to dig.  It can provide a nice and indulging treat for them.

Siberian Huskies are truly wonderful dogs.  They are extremely intelligent, sensitive, loyal, and loving.  However, they do demand a lot of TLC and attention.  It is vital that a perspective owner research the breed and can provide a Husky a happy and fulfilling life.  A Husky that is happy and loved, can provide many years of enjoyment and companionship.
