Siberian Husky

Blue-eyed sled dog

A Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog breed originally developed in northeastern Siberia by the Chukchi people for sled pulling and companionship.

The breed is known for its thick double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive facial markings, often with striking blue or multicolored eyes.

Huskies are energetic, independent, and vocal, prone to howling rather than barking.

Our Siberian Husky needs at least two hours of exercise daily.

They thrive in cold climates and are notorious escape artists.
