The Siberian husky belongs to group 5 which includes spitz and primitive type dogs. Then, it is part of section 1 including Nordic sled dogs.

This breed was created more than 2000 years ago. It is the Chukchi people who are at the origin. This tribe selected the kindest and most balanced dogs that best met their needs. The huskies had three roles: pulling the sleds, guarding the children and the homes. It was in 1909 that this breed had its hour of glory thanks to the race of more than 657 km, “All Alaska Sweepstake”. Following this race, a sled racing enthusiast decided to import 60 Siberian Huskies to make 3 teams for the next race. He was right, because it was these three teams that won the race in 1910. It was in the small village of Nome that the Huskies showed a lot of courage and strength. Indeed, following a diphtheria epidemic, many residents fell ill. The drugs were more than 1000 km away. But the Huskies made this journey and saved the remaining population. In 1938, the Siberian Husky Club of America was formed.

Males measure between 53 and 60 cm and weigh between 20 and 18 kilos. Females measure between 50 and 56 cm and weigh between 15 and 23 kilos. The Siberian Husky is characterized by its kindness and gentleness of temperament; he is also alert and sociable. He does not have the possessive nature of a guard dog, does not show extreme distrust of strangers and is not aggressive towards other dogs. In adults, we can find, to a certain extent, reserve and dignity. His intelligence, his docility and his desire to please make him a pleasant companion and a worker full of good will. Regarding the coat, the husky has a very dense and very thick undercoat and a top coat. All colors are allowed, from black to white.

It is a fairly robust dog that lives on average 13 years or more. This breed is only affected by two diseases. Eye defects and hip dysplasia. Among eye defects, the husky is affected by several types of diseases: Cataract: This disease creates opacification of the lens. We notice the appearance of a white/bluish reflection which causes loss of vision. A treatment exists to slow down the opacification. An operation is also possible to restore sight to the dog. Corneal dystrophy: Disease that affects several layers of the cornea. Gray spots in the eye or tearing allow you to notice the beginning of the disease. Treatment or even an operation is possible. Glaucoma: This disease can appear very quickly. It causes the dog to lose vision. This very painful disease for dogs is manifested by the reduction in the opening of the eyelid and by numerous blinks. This disease causes blindness in the dog, treatments can be given to slow the growth of the disease. Progressive retinal atrophy: This hereditary disease causes the degeneration of optic cells which leads to blindness. The pupil's reflex to light is reduced. Screening via a mouth swab will allow you to know if the dog is sick. Hip dysplasia is 50% genetic and 50% environmental. It is therefore important that the parents are screened and bred with a dog that is suitable for them. Also, do not give your dog too much exercise until he is 1 year old.

The Husky is a dynamic dog that has higher needs than other dogs. You will therefore need to be aware that walks where he can gallop will be necessary daily. Otherwise, it will begin to destroy. However, he is very gentle and kind. He is not protective or a good guardian. He is stubborn and independent. Recalling must be worked on from a very young age. He is a pack dog who will have difficulty supporting solitude.
