The Siberian husky is a very beautiful dog breed. They are known for their beautiful piercing blue eyes. They come in a ton of different colors, the most common being the Black and White. They come with all different types of markings.

   They also do not just have blue eyes. They can have green, brown, or have odd eyes this is actually very common one eye one color and the other is blue.

   They shed their coats twice a year, and they shed a bunch, be prepared for it too, it lasts a few weeks. They will have a different look twice a year as well, they may be black and white part of the year, and the other part black and white with a tint of red in the coat. Huskies keep themselves fairly clean and groomed, it is really not necessary to take them to the groomers, but you should brush them weekly. Their coat lengths vary, and they can be short haired, medium, long, and even a wooly coated also. They have sensitive stomachs and need to be kept on a steady diet, and never given table scraps of any kind or they will develop diarrhea. They should not be over fed and overweight either as this could cause hip dysplasia. They love to run and are very smart, they should always be kept on a leash while running them or walking them. Huskies need to have a secure fenced in area that should be at least 6 foot high, and made to where they can not dig out of from underneath. Huskies do love to dig and can be mischievous and destructive at times. They can be house dogs and trained but they are stubborn, and sometimes have minds of their own. They should be started in training classes as early as possible. Some Huskies love water and some do not.  We have found huskies have different personalities, and for the most part, they are very friendly and outgoing. Some Huskies can be timid, and also some a bit protective of there families, though this is very rare.

   They are a pack breed, and need a ton of attention. Huskies do best having a playmate, and this is the smartest way to go if you want to own a Husky. A playmate keeps them happy and out of unwanted mischief for the most part. The Husky gets along pretty much with all dogs small or big. They will however kill small animals like birds, squirrels, rabbits, mice and snakes and even cats too. But if you raise a Husky as a puppy with your cat or cats, they should be fine with them. The Husky thrives in colder weather (of course), but does fine in warm weather too. The Husky is the only breed that produces a natural chemical under their coat that will cool them down. You do not want to take advantage of this however; you still should have plenty of water and shade for him or her also.

   A Husky is not for everyone, they are very smart but can be hyper, and can have a ton of energy. For some people having a secure fenced in area for the Huskies own safety is a turn off. Not all Huskies are hyper and high strung, some are very mellow and laid back, but again we think that they all have their own unique personalities. Most get along great with other dogs, males or females, where some of them do not, and this goes for females mostly they will need to be separated from each other during their heat cycles, not all but we have found it is best this way to ensure harmony.

   If getting two Huskies, it is usually better to get a male and a female. We have known of other owners that have all females or all males and say that they get along great all the time.

  Female Huskies get about 45 to 55 pounds and Males get around 50 to 70 pounds.

  Females tend to be a bit calmer and cuddlier than the males but this is not always the case.

  The males are a bit more hyper, and they love to rough house and play a bit more than the females.

The Husky is considered a medium sized breed. Their health concerns can be cataracts in the eyes and hip dysplasia. Hip Dysplasia can happen in any breed being a medium or large sized breed and happens later in life if not exercised enough or is over fed. If hip dysplasia is diagnosed early on in their life's this is most likely hereditary. Huskies do not really eat a lot; they are a breed that really eats only once a day and about 3 cups after they turn 1 year old.

 Huskies make a great family pet. They also do wonderful with children.

   We hope this has been helpful in describing the Siberian husky breed. Owning a Husky can be rewarding but challenging at times. They are very affectionate, beautiful, and smart dogs. We love the breed but know it might not be the right breed for everyone. So please do your research to make sure a husky is the right breed for you and your family before deciding to adopt one of our puppies.
